Crown King

 

Crown King is a small mountain community located in the southern
Bradshaw Mountains. Historically, Crown King was a mining town; now the
economy centers on tourism. To get to Crown King take I-17, from Phoenix
about 68 miles, to the Bumble Bee or Bloody Basin exit. From there you
travel a 28 mile dirt road, which is narrow with turnouts and is
passable for all passenger cars. This is the main road and is built on
the old train bed from the mining days. Other access to Crown King
includes the Senator Highway from Prescott, which is an approximate 3
hour drive and passable for 4-wheel drive and high clearance vehicles at
this time of year. Any of these routes will take the visitor past
historic mining sites and offer some beautiful vistas of the sourthern
Bradshaws. Please remember, here as in other areas, vehicles do need to
be registered.
Upon arriving in Crown King, you will find a general store, curio shop,
two taverns and restaurants, rental cabins, and the fire station. 
The Prescott National Forest Service has two improved campgrounds and a
small lake located 7 miles from Crown King in the Horsethief
Recreational Area, as well as several unimproved camping areas located
close to Crown King.
