The Best Camping Near Stanfield, Arizona

Pinal county park and has no amenities so be prepared to dry camp. Price is $10/ day - day use is free. All but 1 or 2 site are pull thru with shade Ramada’s and picnic tables. County does a great job at keeping the gravels roads in the park well maintained, however during the rainy season be prepared for some washouts.

Sites are quite far apart from each other giving the feel of open space. There are some short hiking trails. Entire park is wedged between AZ 84 and I-8 but yet highway noise is very minimal. Approximately 15 min drive to Stanfield and 30 min to Maricopa or Casa Grande. I- 8 ramp is 1 mile west onAZ 84.

Our go to when visiting family 

I planned on staying about 5 miles away on some public land but upon arrival, I didn’t have service (remote worker) so I quickly found this place. Arrived in the dark and pulled up the reservation site (all online). It’s $10/night plus a $2 processing fee. Spots were spacious, had a picnic table with an awning over it and a grill. There’s porta potty’s throughout the area if you need them. There’s also a trash bin in the very back. Had excellent cell service and felt very safe. Met the host upon arrival and she was very kind. Amazing stargazing and close to the Highway. If you decide to tent camp, you’ll hear road noise but in my camper van, barely heard it. Definitely would stay again! 

Gracious host!

Stayed closer to highway bc kids make a lot of noise and we didn’t have to worry about bothering anyone. Views are great and sites well maintained. 

Great privacy and pavilions 

Close to I8 and the BLM Sonoran National Monument.  This is a Pinal County park and there are about 19 sites, most are nice large pull thru sites.  Well maintained dirt gravel roads. 14d limit and $10 nite for standard site with a shade cabana, table and bbq grill. Camp host on site.  However there is NO potable water, no electric and no RV dump. There are dumpsters and scattered potta-potties for toilets.   Cell service is excellent on all carriers.  There is a huge cattle feedlot about 6 mi to east and east winds will be smelly.  Also the truck traffic on I8 will be noticable at night.  No services for fuel, water and food except in Stanfield 10 miles away and that is just a Circle K and a Family Dollar. Three stars due to lack of water, smelly feedlots, interstate truck noise. Note:  locals told me they go to Maricopa for groceries and fuel.  

Remote County RV park

We had a wonderful visit at our large site set up for a big group. But it still only costs $10. We had a very large ramada with 3 picnic tables, and built into west wall were 4 bbq grills. #22 is all by itself on the corner of the outside loop. It’s kinda close to 1-8 but it wasn’t bothersome. It gives you something to watch as you soak in the sun. Beautiful desert landscape with nearby mountains and blm land for biking and hiking. The Dwarf Car Museum is nearby and a must see for free. The camp host is a delightful, helpful woman that assisted us to keep our site when we had to extend our stay waiting for a package. Nearby circle K in Stansfield has an Amazon drop box if you need it. 

County Park with upscale amenities 

This park was so beautiful and so well kept the host was amazing and so helpful. She took care of everything we needed and answered all our questions. Also the support through their email was also very helpful and answered all my questions flawlessly. The bathrooms were clean and stocked and were a great amenity I will stay here whenever I need that fix to go camping again :) 

Beautiful park amazing host 

Pretty, some freeway noise from the 8, great camp host. Hiking trails. Just porta potties and dumpster, but you can dump and get water 4 miles away. Most any sized rig can fit. Dirt roads are in pretty darn good shape.

A hidden gem

Reserve ahead during winter months as we often fill up. Large RVs should plan carefully as sites are limited. Smaller rigs, please select an appropriately sized site to help us accommodate everyone.
