Established in 1879 along with the twin town of Eager, Springerville is a unique destination in Arizona. Its 7,000-foot elevation places it higher up than many locations in Colorado. It is also home to Sunrise Park Resort, one of the few winter ski resorts in a mostly desert terrain.
The town started as a trading post developed by a man named Henry Springer, and the current population of 2,000 works hard to retain that same welcoming, helpful atmosphere. It's ideally situated in Round Valley in an area called the "Gateway to the White Mountains." This makes Springerville a top RV camping destination for outdoor adventurers of all skill levels and interests.
Whether you're just passing through Apache County or camping at nearby Lyman Lake State Park, there's plenty to see and do around Springerville. The location sits at the northernmost boundary of the Coronado Trail, otherwise known as Highway 191, a scenic drive that follows the path of Vasquez de Coronado on his 1540 expedition to find the fabled Seven Cities of Cibola. The best way to get to Springerville is through the town of Show Low. It's located 225 miles east of Phoenix via AZ-87 N and AZ 260 E. Make sure to stop by the Springerville Heritage Museum on Main Street while you're in town and take a guided tour of the R Lazy J Wildlife Ranch just outside Springerville.
