Best Campgrounds near Gilbert, AZ

This is my second time staying here. It is such a well-maintained campground with beautiful large sites. The bathrooms are super clean and modern. power and water at the sites in the Family Campground. Nice picnic tables and views. It was hot when I arrived so I hope to take advantage of the many hiking trails early in the morning before it gets hot! Friendly staff. There is a library and nature center as well as many picnic areas.

I usually go further north of the cove to great open space where you can really spread out. shoreline fishing is great and peaceful. Depending how far you go along the northwest shore you can get nearly a mile away from the hardstand toilets and trash. Lots of places to pull up or pull in.

Notes about nudists are correct. If you have a large rig or trailer, do not cross the arroyo as the access road has some washout spots.  Adventure vans and off road capable will be fine.  A bit of road noise at night if you don't cross the arroyo.

Pretty clean, but some users seem to leave their trash behind.

Great overnight hang, but not a long term location at all.

Paid the $16 annual state land trust fee. Stayed a few nights. Was windy and dusty on our stay, but generally not much to complain about.

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!!!!

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!

Great secluded campgrounds the best camp spot is 11 and 12 however it is kind of dirty people do leave things and don't take things to the garbage other than that it's a great place to fish to camp and not have a whole lot of people there there is no cell service so you're off the grid.

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.

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.

Would not stay again. Park is easy to find, very clean and well kept. Lots of mobile homes with an area for rv’s. Sights are very tight and very close together. Slides almost touch one another. The older lady in the office was not welcoming, or friendly. I called twice to get a confirmation and never did get one. The park is set up on just too close together. Would not recommend or stay there again!

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.
