"It kind of poked off the main loop away from other neighbors which is why we picked it, very close to the mtb trail and easy access to the trail leading to siphon draw. Very little shade."
"One of my favorite trails in Arizona."
"Outstanding layout, great hosts, spectacular location. "
"Campsite 6 is the first one on the right, across from the Camp Host site, and as close to the entrance has you’re gonna get."
$32 / night

"I use the north entrance off Bush highway. I've camped here 5 or 6 times. No water or bathrooms. Leave no trace. You need a permit and gate code. Most ATVers but not loud during the week."
"This is a nice area if you like to off road. We take our trailer out for the weekend to get out of the city. It’s an hour from Tempe/ Phoenix."
$41 - $84 / night
"We have met great people here and enjoy that you can walk or bikeride directly from the RV Park. The park is always clean and well cared for, and we like that its not in the city center."

"It's very nice up on Box bar rd as well 5 minute walk to the river. I've seen a skunk a couple of wild horses and several shooting stars. It's definitely a must see area. Enjoy Arizona"
"At Box Bar there is a small dam that holds the water in just enough for a calm small lake to appear. There is also quicker waters that can be kayaked or floated on."
"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."
"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."
"Lots of hiking to do around if you're looking for something flat (but close access to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve if you're looking for something more strenuous)."
"We stayed in site 27 which was close to the kids playground. We only stayed for 1 night . Lots of bikers at this location. "
"We loved this park in the Arizona Desert. Close to everything, yet set up to feel like you're in your own little village. "
"Made fast friends with the neighbors, got tons of recommendations from anyone walking or biking for things to do nearby."
"You can camp next to your car , wich there might be campers running generators, or you can hike towards the river and set up camp to get away from that."
"We don’t have an offroad car, so it is always nice when the gravel road is well managed. No heart aches getting in and finding an open area to camp."
TravelerI liked staying here. The sites are spacious and spaced well enough apart from each other.
GuideAll the amenities you would ever want and then some. Lots of activities 14 pickleball courts! Or site 411 was very close to the pool, but not the main pool with the bar. So it did poor rain and hail on us. Running out for that walk
GuideThis was my favorite place for dispersed camping! (Not at the established campground) but as of May 2025, they have dug TRENCHES in front of every single dispersed camping site so you cannot access them anymore. What a shame
TravelerRV camping on big water in Arizona! We have stayed here a couple of times. Make sure to book a spot up on cliff overlooking the water. Great sunsets. Free shuttle to haul kayak to boat ramp.
ScoutNothing on website said gate closes and can’t get back in after 9 pm.
GuideYou wouldn't know it on your drive from the freeway to this KOA, but it's a pleasant, well-run RV / Cabin/ Tent campsite. The sites are spacious, hosts friendly and informative. There's a pool and jacuzzi, a number of machines in the laundry, and the showers have doors.
ScoutHad to stay there a little longer than we wanted because we had a motorcycle in the shop that we had to wait for repair. Close to shopping and anything we needed it was great
ScoutFantastic quite only a few people here. No one bothers you. Lots of spots available.
RangerThree parking lots open for "dispensed camping". Third one is largest. Each has pit toilets. Stairs down to river er beach. Quiet, only one other camper in May. Water still a bit cold.
