Best Campgrounds near Benson, AZ

Good spot to explore Tucson area and the Saguaro NP. It's a bit a drive to both parks as it's very urban with lots of traffic. The campground has everything you need with picnic tables and clean facilities. The kids especially had a lot of fun by observing the prarie dogs. We liked the short drive to nearby shopping a plenty of restaurant options.

This was our first camping trip ever. I picked this site cuz it sounded interesting and it was. Especially if you want to see the ranch lifestyle. They had at least 10 horses that they were training, breeding etc; etc; I found it to be a fascinating experience. 1 goat running around, a few friendly dogs, chickens and peacocks. I would camp there again in a heartbeat.

Did tent camping and ground was rough be nice place and clean bathrooms

Mary and her staff welcome with open arms campers in vans and cars as well as AZ trail campers. It’s an awesome experience every day. Highly recommend

This park is a very well maintained park with all the amenities you’d expect. Love it here.

Here for a week at the end of the season. All amenities open but not rocking like they do all winter long. Lovely pool, spa, pickleball, laundry… online list is accurate. People who are here seem friendly.

Found this place last minute and super late but they were extremely accommodating and welcoming, the rates are very reasonable and the art deco vibes are more than enough reason to come back.

Great spot for a night or two to listen and watch the sandhill cranes. Unfortunately some locals tagged my van with a paintball. Be cautious.

Great place to camp away from the busy city. Great place to just park and relax

The sunset was breath taking. Same for the sunrise. Feels like you're on top of the world. But the winds, oh those winds!!

One of the standout features of Playa Dispersed Campsite is its proximity to the Willcox Playa Wildlife Area, renowned for its wintering population of sandhill cranes. During wet winters, thousands of these majestic birds can be observed, especially from mid-October through March Survival Race. Bird enthusiasts will also appreciate the presence of over 15 species of birds of prey during this period.

This location is near the I-10 and great for an overnight while passing thru. No amenities, and I wouldn’t suggest building fires or setting up long term camp. Gorgeous sunset/sunrise and huge variety of birds to view.

We had a great experience and ended up staying two nights! Our original plan was to stay in the upper half of the mountain, but many sites were closed (even after opening dates); I imagine due to snow and weather. We loved our specific spot here at Molino - #13 - it offered seclusion and plenty of space for our tent. You do hear a bit of road noise, but didn’t deter from the experience.

Great place to stay. Clean and friendly. Close to shopping and Saguaro National Park

Lots of road noise. This campground is located right next to a highway and on an exit. There is constant road noise from the highway. If you are parked next to the highway you are approx 12 feet from the actual highway road itself and can feel and hear every single vehicle that drives by.

Tranquil place for people and pets. Facilities, including dog park is clean and community if friendly. No worries except for no campfires and the nightly visits from javelinas. 😊

I was unable to locate the camp, and I tried several times calling the phone number to get an exact location. Each time I got a voicemail and they never returned my call. I drove to where I thought the camp should be, but I couldn’t find it so I ended up camping on the side of the road near there
