Best Cabin Camping near Amado, AZ

Cabin options near Amado, Arizona include Patagonia Lake State Park Campground and Kartchner Caverns State Park Campground, both offering furnished cabin accommodations with electricity. Patagonia Lake cabins feature lake views and access to water activities. These cabins typically include beds, electric outlets, and covered porches or decks. Most cabins provide heating and air conditioning systems for year-round comfort. The Tucson Lazydays KOA offers more developed cabin units with additional amenities like private bathrooms and kitchenettes. "Campground was packed! Despite being crowded, it was quiet. Facilities are very clean and well maintained. Park rangers were driving through regularly, which was nice to see."

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Kentucky Camp Cabin and Kent Springs Cabin represent more secluded, rustic options with minimal amenities but greater privacy. Some cabins permit pets while others have strict no-pet policies. Patagonia Lake State Park's cabins require advance reservations, especially during winter months when demand peaks. The El Pais Motel and Campgrounds provides cabin rentals with more motel-like amenities. A visitor commented, "Cabinsites are a little close together. Not much shade so you have to be real familiar with the campsite to pick the perfect spot with shade trees and lake views."

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Basic furnishings typically include tables, chairs, and minimal kitchen equipment. On-site stores at Patagonia Lake State Park and Tucson Lazydays KOA stock essential supplies, though selection is limited. Cabins at Voyager RV Resort & Hotel provide more comprehensive furnishings, including kitchen supplies. During summer months, cabins with air conditioning are in high demand. The more remote cabin options like Kent Springs Cabin require guests to pack in all supplies including drinking water. Refrigerators are available in some of the more developed cabin rentals but not in the rustic options.

    Very nice facilities

    I stayed two nights with a Class B Van and the full hookup site was private, had a small grassy are, a picnic table and a portable fire pit. The common areas were very nice including the several gas firepits with chairs for just a couple or larger group. I was a little disappointed with the bathhouse/restroom, but that is because I am picky. The important thing is that I would definitely stay there again.

    Tucson - Lazydays KOA

    Not pretty but many amenities available

    General: Large KOA campground laid out in typical RV style with no privacy/separation between sites. There is every imaginable kind of site here from tent sites (with water and electric) to back-in sites with water and electric to FHU sites, some with covered sites to sites with private pet areas or play structures. There are also cabins sprinkled throughout. 

    Site Quality: Most sites are gravel; some have grass. All are level. Amenities vary per site. Ours had a round table with four chairs (in lieu of a picnic table) 

    Bath/Shower: In okay condition but then I saw a sign that they were scheduled to be remodeled a few months after our stay. 

    Activities: There are so many offerings including two pools, a hot tub, a fitness center, corn hole, putting green, basketball, and bike/surrey rentals. Also a daily “schedule of fun” with daily classes including Zumba and yoga, arts and crafts, bingo, etc. 

    Other amenities: On-site restaurant (delivery to your camper available), laundry, little lending library, pet wash.

    This campground is located in a less desirable part of Tucson with very few (if any) grocery stores, restaurants, etc. nearby. There is nothing scenic about the area and the campground is located on a busy street so you will hear road noise (and an occasional train). While we appreciated all the amenities, we prefer campgrounds with more privacy and scenery. This was a last-minute reservation when our plans changed and worked for an overnight stay.

    Kartchner Caverns State Park Campground

    The most comfortable campground so far

    Can't give this one high enough stars.

    We're van camping and working remotely, so our priorities are internet connectivity, electricity, and running water.

    The sites are all nice and flat, very well maintained, and pretty well spaced out. For the desert, there's surprisingly good vegetation between sites for privacy (but it is the desert).

    The bathrooms are plentiful, immaculate, and have hot water, showers, heated hand dryers, and a dish washing station... All open, even in the winter!

    Decent cell coverage on both verizon and t mobile, plus good free WiFi. Our site, in particular, had some issues with the different providers, depending on the direction of the wind, but I was able to work all day.

    Our only itty bitty gripe is that the fire rings did not have grills. But really, that's nothing.

    Would gladly stay again!

    Oh, and there's some pretty nice trails and caves, too. Make sure you reserve your tour well in advance

    Cleanest campsites ever!

    1-17-2021 site 33. Talk about clean! This is by far the cleanest campsite I have stayed at. The camp host are really nice and really do care about the camps. Nice and quiet at night. Electric and water at the sites. And some cool Arizona fire rings. We weren’t able to go into the caves because of our small child but there is a hiking trail which was nice. Great weekend getaway. Site 33 is right next to the cabins so are kinda close to there fire pits when relaxing but all the other sites look perfect.

    Great Sky Views

    Great views of the sky at night and very quiet but we were never able to get in touch with anyone from the office. Nice spacious sites but the common areas really need some love. There’s no pool which is a must have in Arizona’s heat. Great Verizon cell signal no WiFi, or could never get in touch with anyone to get a code.

    Great Time!

    We just went camping here our first time last weekend and we had a great time! A very kid friendly campground, they had lots of things to keep you busy! 2 pools, a playground, game room, pickle ball courts, mini golf, RC car track, go-cart rentals, golf cart rentals, dog parks, activity’s for kids, you won’t be bored! Bathrooms/ showers were pretty clean and had a nice little store if you forgot stuff. 3 nice big propane fire pits by the entrance were perfect for roasting marshmallows. The BBQ Rush had great food if you don’t feel like cooking one night. Only $36 a night for a back in site with full hookups is a great deal! We had a blast and will definitely be back!

    Great State Park!

    We stayed at this State park on 12/27/2020.  We were not able to visit the caverns as all tickets had been sold when we arrived in the morning!  Plan ahead and purchase tickets in advance online.  The RV park was fantastic.  Our site was W/E with a dump on exit.  The site was level with a asphalt pad, some shade, a fire ring and picnic table was provided.  The bathrooms and showers were super clean as well.  There are hikes on the property that were well maintained as well.

    Kartchner Caverns State Park Campground

    Nice hike

    This is an open desert State Park campground with a fancy, cavernous registration center you have to park and walk a few hundred yards to enter. The gift shop was closed.

    The campsites are close together affording little privacy. Each has water and electric hookup, a picnic table and fire ring. The back in sites are paved and level. The bathrooms with showers were clean and well appointed.

    The Camp Host greeted me once I was settled. He Wanted me to be aware of the rules and regulations of the campground. Before he left, he asked me if I was traveling alone. The campground host circled the campground in his golf cart several times each day peering into each site on his way by. The only other campground I experienced his behavior was in Lost DutchmanState Park up near Apache Junction.

    I hiked the Foothills Loop which was challenging in spots especially around the apex. Walking sticks are recommended. The views were awesome.

    I’d give this four stars, but I don’t like feeling surveilled
