About
Overview
Hoyer Campground is situated among the ponderosa pine forests of eastern Arizona, and is one of the most popular campgrounds in the area for families and seniors. Is is less than a mile from Greer Lakes in the middle of the Apache National Forest. Hiking and fishing are especially popular.
Recreation
Greer Lakes and the Little Colorado River are within walking distance for avid anglers seeking out rainbow, cutthroat, brook and brown trout. Hikers can check out several trails within a short drive. Those wishing to relax on a scenic drive can explore the White Mountain and Coronado Trail Scenic Byways.
Curious campers can take part in guided nature walks around the lake or attend educational programs at the facility's amphitheater on Saturday evenings during the summer.
Facilities
This large facility contains nearly 100 campsites. Sites are shaded and lie on a bed of pine needles or grass. Roads are gravel.
The shower facilities and dump station are open. Campers can also purchase bundled firewood and ice from the on-site campground host.
Natural Features
The campground sits in a heavily forested pine and aspen forest at an elevation of 8,300 feet in the scenic and remote White Mountains. Chipmunks and Abert's squirrels are common campground residents, and mule deer and elk inhabit the area as well. The nearby reservoir is one of three area lakes on the Little Colorado River.
Summer temperatures can be very pleasant because of the elevation. However, the rainy season often brings afternoon thunderstorms from late June through August. Visitors should come prepared for rain and cool nighttime temperatures.

Is HOYER fully booked?
A campground showing no availability is almost never full for good. People cancel — plans change, weather turns, someone books three weekends and keeps one — and the site goes straight back into the booking system, usually without warning and often at odd hours. The reason sold-out campgrounds feel impossible is not that sites never free up; it is that nobody is watching at the moment they do.
CampHawk watches HOYER in AZ for you. We recheck it every 15 seconds, around the clock, and the moment a site opens we send a text, an email and a push notification — and on Recreation.gov we can put the site straight into your cart, so it is held while you get to your phone.
Searching is free and needs no account — the calendar above is live right now. Watching HOYER for cancellations is the paid part.
