The reservable Peppersauce Group Site accommodates up to 35 people and is located within Peppersauce Campground, at the base of Mt. Lemmon at 4,700 feet. The site is accessed from the town of Oracle, AZ. Mature vegetation makes this a lovely destination for a basecamp. Hunting, hiking, and scenic driving opportunities exist nearby. Due to the campsite location, flash floods may prohibit access to the site. Visitors should be aware of flash flood risk during monsoon season. High clearance is recommended to navigate the access road to the group site.
