About This Location

Experience history at Jumpup Cabin, a unique USFS site in Arizona featuring a historic cabin, primitive camping, and direct access to Kanab Creek trails.

Step back in time at Jumpup Cabin, a site listed on the National Register of Historic Places that has served ranchers and the Forest Service since the early 1900s. This unique federal campground offers a rare opportunity to stay in a historic two-room structure while enjoying the rugged beauty of the Arizona landscape. It serves as an ideal basecamp for those looking to experience the remote wilderness of the Southwest.

The setting is defined by its proximity to the Ranger trail, a challenging 17-mile wilderness path that winds through the dramatic terrain of Kanab Creek. Because the area is arid and water is scarce, this location is best suited for experienced hikers and self-sufficient adventurers who enjoy primitive settings. The site provides essential amenities including fire rings, picnic tables, and a composting toilet to support your stay.

This destination is perfect for those seeking solitude and a rustic experience away from modern facilities. Whether you are looking to explore the trails in the spring and fall or simply want to appreciate the history of the region, Jumpup Cabin offers a distinct and memorable outdoor retreat.
