gmcbob Report post Posted July 27, 2015 Simple question, but the USFS website is vague..... Do I need a Tonto Pass to camp, scout and/or hunt in unit 23? If so, is a pass required per person, vehicle, camp....? Thank you, Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted July 27, 2015 Signage is pretty good for fee areas. If you dont see signs no fees. Usually there are several signs in fee areas 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Str8Shot Report post Posted July 27, 2015 Very little on the North side of Roosevelt that requires a PASS ... as others have said only around the lakes and where posted... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossislider Report post Posted July 27, 2015 Was told by the forest service a couple years back while calling dogs near the lower Salt that a pass was only required if parking in a designated lot where it was required. He said it was not required for pull of the road/shoulder type parking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbiewer Report post Posted August 3, 2015 the tonto pass is only for "congested" areas. the salt river, the lakes, camp sites (like haigler creek for example). we go to 23 all the time and don't need a pass. What did you get drawn for Bob? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmcbob Report post Posted August 3, 2015 Thanks again everyone. Makes sense. We drew a junior deer tag in 23. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
