Camp Arizona - Havasupai Campground

This is going to be a three night camping trip but you can leave whenever you feel like. I would like to have everyone meet at Hualapai Hilltop Parking area at 9:30 Friday, Sept. 4th and we will promptly begin the hike to Supai at 10:00 am. I will handle all our our reservations and permits when we reach Supai then we will continue on to the campground. If you are running late, we will schedule a meeting place at the campground (I have never been here so if someone that has knows of a good place for late campers to meet up with our group let me know)

We have reserved 20 spots for this event so book early to guarantee a spot.

Cost is $100 per person and covers park entrance fees, camping fees and environmental impact fees.

This is an 11 mile hike one way so get a little hiking in on your own to prepare for this trip.
