Upper Hospital Flat Group Site

Perched at an elevation of 9,035 feet, Upper Hospital Flat Group Site offers a refreshing high-altitude retreat from the heat of the Arizona deserts. This historic site, which once served as a field hospital for soldiers from Fort Grant in the 1880s, is nestled within a beautiful meadow in the Pinaleño Mountains. The surrounding terrain is ideal for those looking to immerse themselves in nature while exploring the rich history of the region.

Visitors can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, mountain biking, birding, and wildlife viewing. The campground provides essential amenities to ensure a comfortable stay, including picnic tables and fire rings for evening gatherings. Fishing access is also available nearby, making it a great spot for outdoor enthusiasts to spend their days in the crisp mountain air.

This federal campground is well-suited for both tent and RV campers looking for a peaceful group experience in a rugged, scenic setting. Because it operates as a dry camping facility without hookups, it is best for self-sufficient travelers who appreciate a more primitive, immersive camping experience in a breathtaking, high-elevation environment.
