USFS · Group Campground · Fee
Groups are drawn to Grapevine Campground's unique setting and expansive facilities. The site's location near Roosevelt Lake's shoreline and nestled in the Saguaro cactus-studded Sonoran Desert and facilities such as a boat ramp and event area provide a perfect setting for fishing tournaments, family reunions, and even weddings year-round. At Grapevine, users can camp, fish, use both motorized and non-motorized boats, and picnic along the shoreline. Families or large groups can get together to use the 100+ person group sites, or they can spend a pleasant day out by the water's edge. Whatever size, big or small, Grapevine can accommodate all needs of the Tonto National Forest users. Open Season: October - May
