About

National Forest

Bog Springs offers some exceptional scenery, either right from your campsite or a short walk away. Many visitors unfamiliar with Arizona will be surprised by the high grasslands that climb the slopes of the Santa Rita Mountains, the thick oak woodlands, and the conifer forest that covers the mountain tops.

4th time visiting favorite place!

This campground sits among tall trees and offers stunning views of the surroundings. It's great for people who love nature. The restrooms are clean and convenient, and there are cozy fireplaces to keep warm. Whether you're enjoying the fire or admiring the scenery, it's a peaceful place to relax outdoors with your family and friends, fires are not allowed year round so you might what to visit the website for fire restrictions. Great hikes nearby perfect for bird watchers.

Cramped bit nice views

This is a nice spot with clean sites, drinking water, trash, and vault toilets.

The camping areas are very close together.

Beautiful location and clean

The campground is small but the location is beautiful. It is very clean and quiet. I have Verizon but the service was poor.

A Favorite

What this campground lacks in amenities, it makes up for in its’ superb environment. Long grass, Mountain mahogany, pinion, oak,sycamore and juniper trees create a habitat for over 100 bird varieties and species. Deer roam around inside the campground perimeter and hiking trails lead directly out to miles of Mountain trails including to the top of 9427’ Mt. Wrightson.

There are only seven back in or curb side sites, and five walk in tent sites. All have water, picnic tables and fire rings. There is a building with pít toilets.

This is not a place for big rigs or glampers.

There is a lodgings nearby where an array of feeders attracts dozens of birds for Public viewing and where there is also a gift shop.

Pretty but close quarters

Stayed for one night; we arrived at 3 pm and there was only one site open, which we backed into (no pull-throughs). Water at each site, trash cans and bear-proof containers. There are also pit toilets, very clean. Cost is $20, we paid $10 with our parks pass. There are 10-15 sites, paved, in a small circle, so pretty cramped. Overall, quite pleasant, lots cooler than the plains below. Not all the sites are level and some looked difficult to back into, while others were easy.

Excellent weekend trip

The sites are first come, first served but we didn’t have any issues finding a spot during the winter. Our site had plenty of space for 2 vehicles, 1x 3-person tent and 3x 1-person tents. The sites are well shaded with trees and each site has a fire pit and bear box.

Lots of hiking trails available. Since it’s a wilderness area, they are all pet friendly. It is the perfect getaway from Tucson.

The Ranger and camp host we meet were super friendly!

Great escape from Tucson in National Forest

Loved hiking in Madera Canyon, they have lots of options for difficulty and length with good wildlife and epic views. There were a LOT of people looking for rare birds in April or May (I forget what they were excited about!). This is a nice simple campground with water and toilets, but nothing else. Cheap and I don’t think it fills up often. Despite the name there aren’t bad bugs or wet ground, but lots of nice trees.

Entomology in Monsoons

This is an amazing camp ground, we were there for insect collecting and it did not disappoint! I am enamored by the area and the wildlife! During the Monsoons however, mind the chiggers.

Great Camping and Hiking spot to escape some of the Arizona heat!

We stayed one night at Bog Springs Campground. Each camping spot is very well shaded, and complete with grills and picnic tables. Bathrooms are also common to the camp ground. Driving in you get a beautiful view of Mount Wrightson. It can get pretty crowded during peak times (holiday weekends and summertime), but we had no problem finding a campsite when we visited (late January). Several of the campsites have more than one spot for a tent - perfect for medium sized groups, and there are plenty of surrounding trees - perfect for hammocks! There are several trailheads within walking distance of the campground (including the Bog Springs Trail).
