Off-road to Camp Reno, Arizona
Camp Reno was established by the 1st Cavalry in 1867 and abandoned in 1870. It was an outpost of Fort McDowell and was intended to establish a military presence in Tonto Basin and surrounding areas due to the problems settlers and ranchers were having with regular raids by the Apaches.
Not much is left of Camp Reno, the desert has reclaimed the site except for a few signs and foundation walls are left.
Camp Reno is named for a Union officer, Maj. Gen. Jesse Lee Reno, killed in 1862 at the battle of South Mountain, Maryland.
