Ok everyone I just moved to town from Alaska and was looking to do some bouldering at Queen Creek, Devils Canyon or Oak Flats or whatever it is called. I just need some better directions. I know there is a campground after the tunnel, am I close?
Any help is appreciated

You are already pretty close. After going through the tunnel, look for the first RH turn after reaching the top of the hill. This is Magma Mine road. Turn here and follow the road 1/2 mile or so to the campground sign and turn left, onto a dirt road here. Park in the campground area.
From here, you can walk to most of the good bouldering areas in 10 to 15 minutes. Other parking alternatives are better for the sport climbing areas. I would strongly suggest picking up a copy of Marty Karabin's guide book or fold out mini-guide to the area, as the area is somewhat convoluted.
