Best Glamping near Arizona City, AZ

This was the first time we have ever been to a KOA as we have never owned a trailer until now. This place had a very friendly staff and the new own is on sight and working to make it even better. Our stay was 3 days, 2 Night and we enjoyed the weekend. Clean all around, heated pool, very kid friendly. The only down side and the reason for not get 5 stars is you can hear the Highway Traffic and Trains all night long.

We tent camped here one night. We’ve stayed at a lot of KOAs across the country and this is the cleanest one I’ve ever been to. Excellent facilities- laundry, bathrooms, pool area, dog run, and clear tent spots. Staff was so helpful and the camp store was well stocked. 10 minutes from Picacho Peak hiking and don’t miss the Ostrich Ranch!

The Picacho/Tucson NW KOA was the first place we camped at when we purchased our Bunkhouse motorcycle tent trailer.  We wanted to stay close to home in case something didn't work on our camper.

The KOA is clean and the hosts were great.  The sites are well spaced but could be a little bigger for more privacy.  The sites are made of small gravel and very level.  No roots, rocks, stumps, etc.  There is a picnic table, water spigot, electrical hookup and BBQ grill at each site, in addition to a fire ring.  Bathrooms are clean and there is a small camp store.  There is a doggie run in the park as well as a pool and playground for the kids.

When we stayed, the new hosts had just purchased the KOA a few months earlier and they were working on improving it.  We stayed there in late 2019 (before COVID).

The only reason I gave this KOA 3 stars instead of 5 is because of the loud traffic noise from the freeway.  There is literally no peace or ability to sleep during the night (in a tent camper).  Perhaps in a solid sided RV, it would be great, but we didn't get a wink.  I even slept with earplugs in and I could still hear the noise.

I will not be returning to this KOA, but sure wish I could because it was really nice and clean.

Close enough to Tucson and areas south and an easy one to access from I-10. Clean and very well managed by cool new owners. Fabulous locally made pickled beets and eggs if not sold out. Super friendly hosts.

Couldn’t drive any longer so used my KOA app on the road and booked it. Pulled in after hours and folder was waiting with map and site number. Very convenient to the I-10 with big gas stations nearby for coffee and gas for early exit. Full hook ups, easy pull through and well marked sites. Would use again if needed.

Clean camp with full hookups. We stayed here to get away and visit Rooster Cogburns Ostrich farm. That was fun.

Not a bad place to stay, but wouldn’t stay here again.

So many beautiful desert plants, some Saguaros, Yuca, Agave… Really lovely, clean KOA with awesome wifi. It was pretty quiet at the time we camped here so that was nice. Spacious spots with a little Ranch with a couple of horses nearby.

Cool place, great staff.

Stay for a couple nights on the way up from Tucson. It was perfect and quiet except the trains which is not the fault of the facility. The laundry was perfect although busy and a little small. Over all was a nice experience and cannot wait to come back.

Easy to get to close to several places to visit, half way between Tucson and Phoenix. Highway traffic noise at some times. Gravel pads.

Right next to the I10 so real easy to get to. Big roomy level spaces, we had a premium spot. There is a cow farm behind the KOA and a train track that uses its horn which can be a bit annoying but really not a big deal when you consider that you're in a safe place to rest for a couple of nights. We enjoyed our stay.

Not freen 55 plus

This KOA is a good place for families and it has a lot of amenities. The sites are close together and not private unless you have a patio site for an extra cost. The sites by the playground and clubhouse area are noisy during the day with children playing as children do. There is road noise and frequent trains which didn't bother me. There is also a neighboring horse ranch which had loud music for a while. This park is well-maintained, clean, friendly, and safe, but it can be noisy. It is also very busy and the wifi is very slow and unreliable. Only 15 minutes from Picacho Peak State Park. If you're looking for a quiet place I would not recommend it. If you have children and enjoy a neighborhood/community atmosphere it's a great place to be. The staff does a good job of driving around and maintaining the grounds. They also escort you to your site.

We stayed here one weekend in early April and had. A nice relaxing weekend. This campground is well cared for and the owners are very friendly. I would say the kids park could use some updating and the pool was too cold to swim in this time of year but we still had a nice stay 🙂. Only downside was the noisy train that goes by a few times a night... we hear everything in a pop up.

Very clean. some sites have an outdoor kitchen. close to the road but we didn’t notice noise. A decent size dog run and a small rec center that I didn’t have a chance to see.

We stayed there years ago in our RV as a young family of 4 w our dog and cat! We were told to take our dog to a boarding facility bc he’s a pit bull! And this was back in the day when most sites were 55+ and this was the only one we could get into and we were visiting people in Glendale! It was quite the drive!

This KOA had some really awesome features and gives you most of the convenience of a hotel with the ability to bring your RV and your personal items with you without the hotel price tag. The KOA features a year round heated pool and jacuzzi. The pool area was fenced and had some chairs, tables, and what appeared to be covered grills. The pool is right outside the office building which also has bathrooms and a small convenience store. If they don't have what you are looking for the is a major grocery store about 2 miles away. This KOA is in town. Don't come here if you're looking for a remote destination. The other side of the exterior fence has houses and businesses.

Each site has a picnic table and some had a stand up bbq pit. The spaces are really close together and separated by a row of rocks. Up front they have 4 little single room cabins that say there can sleep 6 but have no bathrooms. There are some upgraded RV spaces that have outside grill areas with sinks and counter space.

The spaces have very little shade if any! Be very aware of the weather when you visit. It'll be hot during the day and very cold at night depending on the time of year. You will be randomly assigned a space unless you pay the fee to have an assigned space.

The KOA features a small fenced playground with a tetherball, swing set, merry go round, and a table with an umbrella. On the other side of the KOA there is a small fenced dog run. I also saw a stand alone sink near one of the loops. There is an activity center if you're hosting a group event. It had a few standing bbq pits outside. At the entrance was an air pump for filling tires.

Stayed here April 2018. Staff on site are very polite and helpful. Lots of room for large campers with hookups. Would definitely stay again.

Me and my family stayed at this camp groud while we shopped for a new RV. It was clean and the people were very nice and helpful. It was during the Covi-19 scare so the pool and play group was not open. We got a pull through and had plenty of space. You can even upgrade to a pavilion space which has a grill and sink to use. Since we could not use the pool we had a game day with corn hole, washers, and ladder ball. All in all a nice place to stay

I stayed here for two nights while I was in the Phoenix area after having to reroute a trip due to unexpected winter weather at my original destination. I camped in a 22 foot rental motor home.

This was my first KOA experience, and it was such a delight. I arrived after hours, but some of the staff still on site saw me grab my check in materials at the office. He lead me to my sight in his golf cart, helped us get backed in and all settled for the night. Staff called the next morning to finish check in and verify our stay info. The staff this whole stay was so kind, it was amazing.

Our site (I believe most as well) was gravel but naturally pretty level. We had plenty of space between us and adjacent sites. The whole KOA has some nice touches as far as landscaping, sites with grills, etc. Very clean and well kept.

Location is about 45 minutes from Phoenix, which was perfect for us. We spent a little time in old town Scottsdale as well which is about the same distance. I would 100% stay here again if I’m in the area.

I will start by saying that I really liked the park. Clean, well kept, nice facilities. All the nice things you want, but the staff managing the park are the nicest sweetest identity thieves you will ever meet. Used my bank card to pay for another month & pay electric bill. I was staying monthly. As the employee was running the card she told me system is always slow on Friday, she had several charges all went through, then while running the $650.00 rent charge their computer or employee tried to double charge me. My bank card app. Immediately notified me through text messages of the double charge. But because I keep less than $1,000 in that account the second charge was not allowed to go through. But the first charge did go through along with all the other previous charges. The employee told me the charge never went through. I tried to explain to her the charge did go through I had a receipt for it on my phone. She claimed they've had this problem before , and it took several days for the credit card company to clear it up. She then asked me to pay again! And because I'm not independently wealthy I told her I would only be able to pay rent once that month. I didn't contacted my bank and I disputed the second charge that didn't go through and was told by the bank the first charge did indeed go through. After getting back to the employees of the park they became very rude and accused me of trying to not pay. I work very hard for a living and always pay my bills, but since they were paid and the money was taken out of my account and paid to them according to my bank I was not worried about the problem and figured it would clear itself up in a couple days. The lack of ability to use technology I believe was the problem. I would almost bet money those employees probably have a VCR still flashing 12:00 p.m. with a flip phone sitting on top of it. Fast forward to 3 weeks later they still claim they haven't got their money my bank claims they have been paid I have a receipt for it on my phone only problem is the employees here scream and yell at you and try to talk over you and will not listen to any thing you say. they told me they were overbooked for the holiday weekend coming up and they needed me out. She then said since they were letting me stay there for free they needed me gone. I paid them their money now they're accusing me of stealing. If they had a pre-existing problem with their credit card vendor/point of sale company and had had issues before I would have paid cash had I known. Something definitely suspicious going on in the office of this place. Do I think they are identity thieves I doubt it, definitely not intelligent enough to pull something like that off. Are they so incompetent and hard-headed they would compromise your credit card information due to lack of intelligence, absolutely 100% they fit that profile exactly. Campers beware

This KOA sits on the outskirts of Apache Junction, which itself isn't Phoenix proper but an eastern suburb. The RV park has all of the basics: power, water, sewer plus a pool and a level, clean site.

This place is pretty okay except the price and then the price goes up in December. But staff is friendly the maintenance people are helpful. And the neighbors are friendly.
