Best Campgrounds near Florence, AZ

We absolutely love this campground. Close to everything, including some awesome Mountain Biking from green to double black diamond trails. Large spaces with water, power and super clean. Highly Recommend!!!!

We stayed here for 5 nights in a 24 foot RV (March 20 - 25) . I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was overnight. We parked one of the closest open spots to the main Silverbell Road. It was far enough away from Silverbell that I really had to focus to hear anyone (in a regular vehicle) driving down that road. We sometimes heard some side by sides driving around the area, but, it was maybe 1 - 2 times a day max. There seemed to be a lot of daily traffic on the side road (off of Silverbell) - we assumed it was people coming in to do some hiking further in. We saw a couple of 4 wheel drive trucks come in and didn't see them depart until the next day, but, most of the traffic seemed to come in late morning and leave mid afternoon. Once sunset arrived it was perfectly quiet until morning. We picked up a few items of trash - but they were few and far between. The weather was a bit warm on some of the days (87 - 90), but, we are use to very hot days in Phoenix, so, mostly tolerable for us in the shade. We did not hear any huge trucks on Silverbell Road the entire time we were there - just passenger vehicles, pickup trucks or sometimes side by sides. Silverbell has a lot of various degrees of washboard - we went slow so it didn't bother us. The side road off of Silverbell Road was a little narrow and bumpy in places, which is why we essentially picked one of the first spots - but, we were quite happy with it.  As for other noises, I may have heard some shooting, but, it was so far off I couldn't be sure and it was rare. I did see and hear a number of airplanes, but, giving the location I was not surprised, nor did they bother us. We very much enjoyed our stay and would happily stay here again!

Great trails! Big rig friendly boondocking. Busy dirt road, as there is an active mine off the road. Loud dump trucks and dusty, but a beautiful desert oasis, nonetheless.

Perfect area with lots of open space, plenty of clean, flat camp spots with fire pits. Roaming cows and great trails.

Hidden away camp area. Only way to get to it is to boat in, but there is plenty of dock space

Stayed one night on thru-trip. Wow, seems like best of the Sonoran Desert. Beautiful. Well kept park, safe, quiet, with clean single shower/bathroom stalls that are spacious, but some do not have hooks to hang stuff. Cell service. Was 90 the day we left (~March 23rd), night temp was cool and windows left open.

Food: Chorizo & bacon mac & cheese with garlic and tortillas!

It was a fun dirt road. You might be able to get back there without 4x4 but certainly it is strongly recommended. Very rough road and about a 2 mile drive.

The road from the highway is paved for most of the way. It is about 7 miles from I-10 north of Tucson. You can see the small airport, but it's not busy. The Pump Station Rd dirt access road is a little washboard, but inside the camping area, it's pretty good. We only went in a short ways as we were just overnight. The Ironwood Forest is close by and was a nice ride.

The washboard road getting to the coordinates is worse than the road within the dispersed camping area! There are a few good rolling bumps and small ditches but going slow will help. Plenty of areas to pull into, some are ez in and out loops, some are back-ins. I went in 1.25 miles from the entrance on Pumps station road with my 18’ trailer with no issues other than stuff moving in the cabinets. I walked another half mile and saw more sites but they are closer to the “airport”. Don’t be put off by that. There is almost no activity during the week and on the weekends there are some very small planes in and out that are towing gliders or dropping parachutists. Very little noise and fun to watch! The site I was in must have had frequent or dedicated visitors because there was a very lovely set of stone boundaries, rock and creosote gardens and a fire ring with an edged path! (see photos) Very clean,very quiet!!

We arrived about 1800 on a Saturday and there were many RVs and vehicles already down this road. We ended up driving about 1 mile down the dirt road to find the spot we wanted with a view of Pichaco Peak

Highly recommend this park with spacious sites and great views of the Superstition Mountains and night lights of Phoenix. Carefully review the site you select to be sure it will accommodate your rig. Roads are narrow and there are unforgiving drop offs on the sides. We had site 118 which was closer to mountain so view was very good.

Other than the noise from the highway, this place is really lovely. The vibrant green shrubs against the soft dusty brown terrain is magical. The landscape is dotted with Cactus reaching up toward the pale blue morning sky is something to behold.

The campground doesn’t have a lot of light at night so you get a wonderful dark sky star display. The restrooms are nice and some of the campsites have roofs over the picnic areas. There are fire pits also. Very well kept up.

I stayed here for 2 weeks. I stayed up front for the first week then around back fot the second week. Nice place to stay. Jen, the camp host was very friendly and welcoming. Totally recommend.

Came in for a three night stay in February. Weather was great, other campers were very respectful of your personal space and found lots of firewood within 100 meters of the campsite.
