Douglas Spring — Saguaro National Park

Hike-in access is the only way to reach Douglas Spring, a backcountry campground managed by the National Park Service within Saguaro National Park. No road access exists. Campers should plan for a multi-mile trail approach through Sonoran Desert terrain before reaching the site. Nearby backcountry options include Manning Camp — Saguaro National Park to the southeast, which shares the same land management and trail-based access. Douglas Spring tends to suit hikers comfortable with self-supported overnight trips in a desert environment.
