"Off road trails that can also be used for running/hiking. Numerous sites the further back you go. Some need higher clearance to get to. Water for .25 a gallon at the Uhaul in town."
"The road is a little bumpy, but it’s a very short drive to the first pull off. There is a cemetery on the same road, but you can easily camp a decent amount away from it."
"We had a spot quite close to the entrance, so it was a bit loud in the morning with the garbage truck and train, but nothing extreme."
"Can't speak to other sites but mine had some broken glass and shell casings scattered around. Was pretty quiet though. Road in was good but looks like it could be slippery when wet."
$15 / night
"Sites are level and graveled. 15 minutes away from the Granite Mountain IHC Memorial! Give them a try and leave some reviews!"
$10 / night
"Close to town and close to fun attractions such as the rodeo or box canyon wash!"
"Around 30 sites. Not “8” like the website read. Definitely not a place you stay more than one night though."
"Stopped by to spend a day looking around Wickenburg. Level gravel sites with a concrete patio. FHU, pool, showers in the bath house. Easy in and back on the highway. Would stay here again."
$18 - $36 / night
"This was not necessarily true of the other loops that we heard in the distance."
"Prescott, Arizona. Nice sites, 3 of which are first come first serve. We got one of those. Wooded area with drinking water pumps scattered about, trash receptacles, and toilets."
LegendNorth Ranch is an Escapees RV park with large gravel lot and closely spaced sites. Full hook up with only 30 amp available. There is also another area for dry camping. This is a good place if just passing through and need to do some laundry and dump and fill and take a nice long shower. The sites are fairly close as most RV parks are, clean flat gravel sites. Nothing special but nothing much to complain about either.
Road noise was constant as was ATV use as many of the campers had them. Covid restrictions in place and a mask is required.

2 laundry areas with washer dryers for$1.25/each open 24/7

Weak Verizon and AT&T with occasional streaming if you don’t mind waiting for buffering.
TravelerFree. Wide open space, an abandoned air strip. Really cool cactus variations all around, you can hear coyotes. And there are wild burros in the area you can def hear them and during the week it's likely you will see them! It is popular for ATVs and such, so it can get a bit noisy, and it apparently gets pretty packed over the weekend. But empty during the week. About 30 minutes away from town. Though there are a few paid campsites in the area. Not sure what the stay limit is, probably 14 days. All the cacti so close is a bit hazardous for pets and small children, my dog already got spines in her paws.
RangerWe stayed at the Willow Campground for two nights while visiting family and friends in the Surprise area. Hiked the Waterfall and Black Loop Trail for a little exercise as well. Didn’t do any others as our dog had an encounter with a stray cholla ball. This would be the only concern for those traveling with pets. There are quite a few lose even along trails. Other than that the facilities are clean and well kept. Fresh water and showers are available.
GuideLocated in a canyon next to Burro Creek. The campground is first come first serve with about 30 spots. Multiple clean bathrooms and trash bins through out the camp. Not too far from the creek which you can hear running at night. Be prepared for rocky terrain to get to the creek. Pets allowed. About 12 miles south of the small town Wikieup where we went for dinner one night, but not much to do in town. Overall a nice desert campsite about a mile from the highway.
ScoutSaddle Mountain is fun to hike but strenuous. The area is quiet and easy to get to. RV and pet friendly.
Travelernice full hook up sites. sites are flat and pretty level with a picnic table. it’s big rig friendly. we camped in a class c 33ft. Watson lake is a 10-15 hike. campground was bathrooms and showers, very clean. there are pet restrictions only certain breed of big allowed. they have a nice little shop at the entry and every thing is sold at cost. bottle of water .75.
GuideCamped 5 nights at the desert tortoise campground in my NoBo travel trailer. Semi developed so no hook ups. Bathrooms were clean and the area was well kept. The spot includes a ramada with picnic table. There is also a fire ring pit w/ grill which you’ll need to bring firewood for. I fished off the shoreline which was only a few hundred feet from my spot. The spots are relatively close to each other and tent camping is also allowed. Water is clear and very nice. Wild donkeys from old miners back in the day still roam around. They are very accustomed to humans so won’t hesitate to steal food. Definitely something to watch pets around as well.
ScoutGreat place for some R&R! While out-running a winter storm in Northern Arizona we headed South. Traveling through the Phoenix area we thought it would be hard to find a GOOD, CLEAN and AFFORDABLE place to stay since it was during the winter holidays. We lucked out when we happened upon this gem. The resort was safe, clean, had great amenities, and the staff were great.
-- AND THEY HAD GREAT PRICES! --
It did seem the pull-thru sites were a bit tight. However, we stayed in one of the standard RV spaces. So, we can't confirm that they actually are tight, it just appeared that way.
We did not have a picnic table at our site. (It does not appear that there are tables at any of the sites.) But there was plenty of room between rigs to park a vehicle -and- set up our own tables and chairs.
There is a shooting range near by. People and pets with issues hearing gun/rifle shots during the day should be aware, you -can- hear the shots being fired. It's not deafening, not loud at all, in our humble opinion. You just know there's shots being fired.
At the time of this review you can save even more money because they provide AAA and Good Sam discounts!
If you're looking for a nice, clean, FRIENDLY, resort with amazing prices, Pioneer RV Resort is the place!
-- WE WILL STAY THERE AGAIN. --
(Our apologies for lack of more pictures, it was pouring rain during our stay. However, we will say that the pictures on their website are indeed representative of the resort, amenities, and cleanliness.)
TravelerAlamo state park wasn’t all that bad. Due to the virus and our sons upcoming surgery plus several parks and lake being closed this was the only option. The wild burros are a very neat site and great to watch! The lake unfortunately was experiencing a blue green algae bloom 🤢 Park rangers advised to NOT let pets or small children in the water. And fishing was also a bust due to water conditions. Our trip was the end of May so we did experience 110° during our weekend stay. We used the Choilla camp ground (C12) nice pull through spot with water & 30amp and was big enough to accommodate a second vehicle with our Jetskis.
Over all we were happy with our stay and would recommend / plan to visit again in fall or spring when the temps are cooler
