Idlewilde Campground

Idlewilde Campground is the first campground you encounter as you enter Cave Creek Canyon from the east. Cave Creek Canyon is well known for its spectacular scenery and excellent birding. In addition, a short distance from the entrance, you'll find the trailhead for the Cave Creek Nature Trail, which spans the lower Cave Creek Canyon from Sunny Flat Campground to the Silver Peak Trailhead . Sites at Idlewilde are best suited for camping in tents, vans, or pickup truck campers. No trailers are permitted. Note: Black bears are common in the area.
