It's a no-frills campground. Basically it looks like a huge drive-in theater for RV's; without the movie. There are a few sections of this campground that have trees and nicer sites, but not everyone gets a tree site. In the open areas you don't want to put out your awning if you want to keep it. Don't bring the kids, not even a playground. However, what it lacks in frills it makes up in being neat and clean. Roads, laundry, bathrooms and park areas are well maintained. There is also a very nice desert nature trail with information signs about the vegetation. We were here for two hot weeks.

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.
LegendLike 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
LegendThis was a nice spot to stop for the night. Take showers. Do laundry. Empty tanks full water tanks. Garbage. Quiet. Lots of spaces.
TravelerThis is horse ranch with great host and amazing views. They offer horse back riding which our kids loved.

We camped in April before it was too hot. Lots of well marked campsites with fire pits and room for pull through. Lots of large spaces for large campers. No shade. Good areas for birding. Roads well maintained. Surprisingly little campers here on a Saturday. Beautiful Mountain Views. There is a visitor center but it was closed on the day that we were there.
GuideGreat 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.
GuideOur 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.
GuideGood stopover. Showers and bathrooms are closed. Quiet place but dusty. Nice people running it.
TravelerWe stayed here for a week. $150 for a week, or $30 a night. 24 hour security is provided. Staff was very friendly and they are very strict on campground policies. The only little hassle was they have a lot of weekend shows going on and they change the line of travel for getting in and out of the facility. Other than that it was a very good stay and we would stay here again.
TravelerGreat 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.
TravelerSites available for groups, RVs, tents, etc. No restrooms, but well maintained roads. Lots of border patrol. Hiking, hunting, off roading allowed.

The campground host does everything within his power to make your stay enjoyable. The weather is cooler than Tucson and the views are amazing. My favorite place to camp.
