Best Campgrounds near Arivaca, AZ

“I recently stayed at White Rock Campground in Peña Blanca Lake. The campground is clean, and some sites offer more space than others, which is nice. However, there’s no cell signal, and the location right next to the road means you can hear cars passing by throughout the day. I’d rate it a 6/10. On the bright side, fishing at Peña Blanca Lake is great, it’s a beautiful spot and a great place to spend the day with family. Overall, the campground could be better, but the lake itself makes it worth the trip

It seems to look like this place is closed. Arrived there on a Friday night but the gate in front of the road was closed and locked unfortunately.

The view is great! There are agglomerated spots but you can find one isolated farther on the road if it's what you want. Feel off-grid but the is cellphone service. You can wake up with cattle around your spot.

This is a dusty, bumpy road with sites carved out amongst thorny trees. Wildlife (cows) is everywhere. Watch the weather report or you will be stuck in the mud trying to get out. The sunsets are wonderful and the birding is out of this world. There is nothing at these campsites save a fire ring. Be self contained and the roads are not for the faint at heart.

Loved our easy access experience. It’s a lovely, late sunset. This site is a little lower than others with a better view perhaps, but the trees provide a better buffer against the wind.

This whole road here is quiet, and with very little traffic. The moderately difficult access limits to trucks with off road trailers mostly.

Friendly staff and plenty of spots. It’s a fairground, so not really a “camp” site, but for the price they offer a lot of amenities. Hookups, restrooms, private showers, laundry, and dog areas. Close to Saguaro and town.

Lots of permanent tiny homes or trailers, and some RV's but very close. Nice community center, swimming pool, hot tub, shuffle bord Cort, and picked ball.

A mix of RVs and mobile (manufactured) home.

They have everything; and as many seniors permanently live here, lots of activities. 

Great dog / people walking trails right around the complex through dessert trails.

Only about 20 minute drive to downtown Tucson. 

We stayed six nights.

I think you will be happy staying here.

Good spot, level ground, lots of room. Any size camper will work. Turn north on the dirt road just west of the casino and follow the power lines north up a coupe hundred yards and you will see the camping area just off your right.

I was driving along Highway 83 when I saw a Coronado National Forest sign by a dirt road. This location wasn’t marked for boondocking on any of the resources I use. I pulled in and saw several established dispersed camping spots with fire rings. The spots are well spaced out. I saw a few RV’s. Nice, quiet spot for overnight or a couple weeks.

I stayed for 5 nights at this location.  I took the time to explore the area and have this recommendation:  When you pass through the entry gate, you will see a line of telephone polls and a road under them straight ahead.  There is only a couple of mediocre sites on that road.  About 150 yards in from the gate the road will split with a 2nd (Southwest/middle option) and a 3rd (Westward option).  You will see a camping board/sign on the 3rd (West option) that provides info.  If you continue along that road you will find a couple decent sites, but you will also find the road gets rutted a bit further on and is not a good place for trying to drag a trailer.  The Westward road also gets a couple cars passing by during the day and night.  My recommendation is that you take the middle, Southwest road to find the best options for camping.  The Southwest road is better than the other two options (South and West) for pulling trailers and it has multiple locations to choose from.  Eventually, you come to a point where the road turns right (West)...  if you follow it you will come to another gate that marks the end of the BLM parcel.  But, at that point you will also find a large, flat, open area to set up camp.  Best of all is that it is about as secluded as you can get for this location.

Not bad for a night or two. Cell service is 5g with 3 bars on Verizon. Not very scenic if you're looking for that.

Great place to explore the trails right from your camp! Easy pull throughs all hook ups, clean bathrooms with laundry!! We were not looking for adult only but enjoyed it!
