    Rancho del Nido

    It is so quiet and beautiful

    This campground with water and electric was quiet and beautiful. There were horse trails all around and you can bring your horses too. Dog friendly, and the owners were available if needed.

    Come for the stars,if nothing else.

    Pima County Fairgrounds RV Park

    Base for visiting Tucson

    Great place to stay for visiting Tucson and surrounding area. We stayed for a week while visiting Saguaro NP. Cheap with full hook ups. Busy location as they hold rodeos and horse events regularly.

    Rancho del Nido

    Fantastic hosts, views, and price

    Our hosts were extremely hospitable and accommodating. They worked around our schedule and made sure we were comfortable. They gave us numerous recommendations for local cuisine and sightseeing. The camp is peaceful and has fantastic views with horses, a fire pit, and hiking trails. We hope to return soon.

    Rancho del Nido

    Miles and mils of Silence

    Kim & Dan are wonderful hosts. The property is on the side of a slope with expansive views. Spotlessly clean porta potty. Safe. Peaceful. Horses and cows. I booked 2 nights and as soon as I set up camp I booked two more. So glad I did. Great location. Delicious well water.

    Pima County Fairgrounds RV Park

    Great park at a great value

    Like most I’ve seen in this area, this RV park is pretty much a large gravel parking lot. Sites are level FHU and large enough to park tow vehicle or toad along side your RV. The great advantage of this place is the cost of $35 a day. FCFS, no reservations Park is frequently busy with events, rodeos, etc, which may limit access to some amenities. Drag strip next door may add sweet but brief engine noise

    Bueno Aires National Wildlife Refuge

    Lots of choices for dispersed

    Great place, if you don't mind occasional helicopters and A10 Warthogs in the distance. Lots of places to choose from for RV and tent camping. The road is a little rough but definitely done in a passenger car. Nights are beautiful.

    Pima County Fairgrounds RV Park

    Serves the purpose

    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.
