2. Sonoran Desert RV Park
Gila Bend, Arizona15 Reviews•45 Photos•20 SavesWELCOME TO SONORAN DESERT RV PARK After a day of rolling through the dramatic and diverse Sonoran Desert, you can roll your rig right into this oasis in the desert. It's so convenient with the easy-on/easy-off access from both I-8 and AZ 85. The campground was built for RVers by RVers and it shows: You'll find roomy, 100 foot full-hookup pull-thru sites throughout the park - all big rig friendly! Relax by the heated pool or just soak up the desert views and dark evening skies from your site. Fido will love the 4,000-square-foot Canine Corral with three separate corrals (two with grassy areas). Although you're just an hour from Phoenix, you'll feel worlds away as you savor a brilliant sunset at day's end. The Sonoran Desert RV Park prides itself in offering a quiet atmosphere in the evenings for all to get a good night sleep by asking everyone to retire into their RV's by 10pm.

Very Convenient
This place is right off the highway. Plenty of level places to park. We drive a van but I think most sizes of RV would have no trouble here. Lots of room to turn around. Pretty view of the mountains. There's highway noise but we were all alone.

Desert Oasis
What a great find in this small desert town. The owner, Joyce, is amazing!! She let us know she wouldn't be on site when we arrived and communicated exactly where our site was, so we were pleasantly surprised when she greeted us and showed us to our spot before running out. She has a binder prepared with everything you need to know about the area, such as town history, things to do, and places to eat! The park has full and partial hook-ups. There is a fenced dog yard. It is a great place to stay while you're visiting the area.

Great for one night camping
When we arrived at 7pm, there was no one else. Later couple of another campers arrived. Someone played guitar and it was really nice to listen with full moon lighting. Cons: No service for T-mobile and no lights in restrooms.

Nice place to stay
Nice place, plenty of Sitzes, yet only few neighbors. Getting there is bumpy (unpaved road) but with any passenger car doable.

Great Experience
Our RV GPS and Waze took us right to this very nice campground(CG). Check-in was quick, and we were escorted to back-in site 503 with FHUs. The sites here are long and wide enough for our 40’ fifth wheel and F450 truck. The sites in our area were also decently spaced for a private CG. There was also room for an OHV if we’d brought one. The guest WiFi works pretty well with a download of 6.73 and an upload of.92. Water pressure was good at 50 psi, and we got 4 bars on Verizon. There are a few trees in the CG, but we had a clear shot of the northern sky for Starlink. They also have cable, but we didn’t use it. They had a very nice 4000 sq ft, sectioned-off dog park with two of the areas/corrals having grass. Behind the show/laundry/pool facility is where you drop off your propane tank for fills. They do not have a propane service that comes to the site. We were also impressed with their PETHouse sites where you have a private dog run. Their laundry facility was larger than most CGs of this size and it was very clean. There’s also a wash pad where you can wash your OHV or truck. Gilla Bend has a Family Dollar and a couple of small grocery stores plus eating establishments. You’re about 30 minutes from major amenities in Buckeye and an hour from Phoenix. We stayed here with friends for 4 nights and enjoyed ourselves.

Nice Overnight
I was not expecting such a beautiful place in the desert. A great place to overnight. Easy paved access until the park and then gravel in the park. Unfortunately, you need to reserve online as there is no way to pay at the park. I recommend stopping at a rest stop on I8 before you drive here as the cellphone reception is very poor. Finally, I do NOT recommend site 32 as it is not a pull through, but a small pull off next to the loop road where you park very close parallel to the road.
Robo A.GuidePainted Rock Petroglyph Site And Campground
Quick stop!
We stopped here for an overnight on our way back from San Diego. We did book it online at the last minute while driving on interstate 8, but what we found is a hidden jem and we are already planning on coming back.
It is boondock camping so don’t expect to find water or electric hookups, but it is quiet , the sites are big, and there is lots of room without worrying about obstacles even if pulling in in the dark.

Great service.
New to the rv lifestyle was trying to find a lot during busy snowbird season. And finally found one.

Twin Peaks Campground — Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument
Efficiently designed NPS campground
General: 208-site campground. No hookups but sections are separated into tent-only, generators allowed, and non-generator sites (which we were very happy to see!). Only four sites can accommodate RVs up to 45 feet; otherwise, there is a 40-foot limit.
Site Quality: All are level and have generous-sized concrete/macadam pads (except for the tent sites which are all gravel). Although the sites are close together, there is ample foliage separating them.
Bath/shower house: I never expect showers in National Park Service campgrounds so was pleasantly surprised to find showers here (in three of the restrooms). Otherwise, the restrooms were basic but clean.
Activities: There is a.9-mile perimeter trail that allows leashed pets and the 1.3-mile Palo Verde Trail that leads to the Visitor Center from the campground. The 21-mile one-way dirt Ajo Mountain Drive is considered the most scenic area of the park but trailers, buses, and RVs over 25 feet are not permitted on this road. There are a few short hikes off of this road. You can also drive a loop around the area, but four-wheel drive is recommended. The night sky is stunning here and there is a telescope pad. The hour-long evening ranger talk was both interesting and well-attended. The Visitor Center was also a wealth of information.
Note: As others have mentioned, when we arrived, we were instructed to leave our hoods up to discourage the pack rats. Not a problem and we didn't see any,

Big and tight!
Large CG but many sites are just jammed together. I had claustrophobia just driving thur a lane or two. Never seen such a nested tight cg like this. Went back out to free BLM dispersed where my nearest neighbor was 500 ft away.

Ajo Regional Park - Dennison Camping Area
Not upscale
Camping area next to a big picnic area shelter. The original poster had pin at the ajo county dump which maybe is not far off in spirit! Note you need a permit to camp here...but guess you have to call the park folks. Cost and camping stay limit not clear on signs but office noted camping permit is free at office and camping limit is 14d but flexible.... Sign notes no alcohol.

Reservations only
New rules. No walk ins allowed. Nice open place, very clean and tidy. Bad customer service in that there’s no warning signs along the 11 miles saying only reservations.

Beautiful Pool
Perfect Stop outside of Phoenix area. Clean and very well manicured RV campground. Our late arrival reservation was handed graciously and info was easy to understand. The pool is beautiful and the shower/restroom was so pristine. Nice dog park.

Nice FHU spot near Organ Pipe Cactus NM
Nice little park in Why -- because why not? :) Nothing really in Why -- a gas station, convenience store and breakfast/lunch restaurant. But it's a short (and beautiful) drive to the national monument and Ajo, if you need groceries or other supplies. Simple gravel pull-throughs. Not sure how really big rigs would do, but my little Casita snuggled in just fine with a decent amount of room around. FHU and decent cell service. Paid $30/night in cash. Nice view of the sunset and starry skies.
Tyler D.GuideTwin Peaks Campground — Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument
Five stars, even after our truck burned down
Organ Pipe Cactus NM is a treasure, and for a couple of working full-timers, this campground was perfect.
We spent a long weekend here in site 24, which had a beautiful, unobstructed view of the sunset each night. Solar was ripping, even in February, and would be in any of the campsites. Nice picnic table and paved, level driveway made this feel a notch or two above most NPS sites. The dump station we only used once, but was looking brand new and worked perfectly.
Quirk: packrats are pretty rampant here, so folks keep their hoods open and anyone who spends more than a night or two lights their undercarriage to scare the little guys away.
The campground is ringed by trailheads. A couple of roads give plenty of space for cyclers. It's a beautiful, beautiful spot. You're pretty far from groceries, so you'll wanna stock up before you come in.

Great desert Campground
Fun campground with great desert flora and fauna! It’s a pretty big campground and the spaces are kind of close together so definitely not the most private of places. There are lots of restrooms with running and and some solar showers as well. Lots of trails to hike right of the campground as well! Overall a nice campground.

Best rv Park we’ve been to
Right off Monte was so nice when we got in. Our lot was wonderful and the dogs loved it. The view was spectacular and the facility was pristine.

Quaint little place
Nice little campground. Small town atmosphere. Seems to be a nightly stop for most. Fills up in the afternoon and empties out in the morning. I stayed 2 nights just to check out the town. If you’re not a trucker then not much to do.
