Best RV Parks & Resorts near Leupp, AZ

In the off season, this sweet little national forest campground is a quiet oasis in one of the beautiful “islands of the sky” which are scattered throughout Arizona.  Up at 5000 feet, this place becomes a busy retreat for Tucsonians seeking to escape some of the summertime heat, according to the park ranger we spoke too. It's also a haven for birds!

The campground has designated section for RV’s and tents, though they are same price at just $10 per night.  Many pull-through sites are available for larger RV’s, as well as some back in spots. Each site has a HUGE cement picnic table and fire ring and are a nice size with plenty of space between sites. There are trash cans (though no recycling) throughout the campground, and a water spigot near the very clean pit toilets, thanks to the dedicated and very friendly camp hosts.  The tent sites overlook the Parker Canyon Lake and are quite spacious. There are few tent sites for groups too.

There is a nice boat dock, as well as small store near the water that sells snacks/drinks, bait, and a few camping necessities.  You can rent kayaks, paddle boats, SUPs, sailboats and small motorized fishing boats…or bring your own. There is also a nice and easy trail that follows the lake shore for about 6 miles, accessible to both hikers and mountain bikers.  From the lake trail, you can also access the Arizona Scenic Trail (the southern terminus is about 15 miles south of the lake). We also saw quite a few fisherman out enjoying the lake during mid-week.

The closest grocery stores and gas stations are in Sonoita, about 30 miles away.  Cell coverage is limited here as you are very close to the Mexican border – none in RV campground, just a bit of coverage in the tent campground.

RV or tiny homes…this place is AMAZING. We were in the RV side very clean, level elite back in with a concrete patio. Picnic table AND propane fire pit provided. The clubhouse has a bar and grill with a GIANT patio, live music, a store, heated pool and spa, a large game lawn and trails behind. Backs up to a national forest. Bathrooms and laundry clean and convenient. Well organized and friendly staff. Cons: trains in the distance and some interstate noise but that’s to be expected. The camp is NOT right up on the interstate you just can see it from various sections of the camp. We only had one neighbor at our site since it was on the end which was nice. Would DEFINITELY stay again.

We had a pull through spot for our 30' Class A. In order to have the electric and water hookups(dump site only) on the"correct" side of our rig, we had to back into our pull through because we would have had to drive the wrong way down the road otherwise. And the picnic tables and grill are on that same side. So in the future, we'll park"correctly" so we can enjoy the table outside our front door and just run electric cable under the rig, along with the hose.

Otherwise, this is a really lovely spot. It's not right in Winslow, but the extra 5 minutes is worth it. It's a very peaceful spot...you don't hear the interstate noise and this place does NOT have a party atmosphere. Everyone was just super quiet and friendly. Due to traffic issues in New Mexico, we didn't get here until nearly 5(instead of original plan of 2 pm) and we had to leave early in the morning...so didn't really get to enjoy the place as we had hoped. But I saw enough to know we would NOT hesitate to return.

Wonderful little state park. We had site #36. Good afternoon shade and morning sun. Pretty level. Very surprised at how quiet it is because it is pretty close to I40. Only 5 miles outside of Winslow.

Dump station and water fill at the entrance. Most sites have electric and water. No sewer at the sites. Water at sites is turned off in the winter.

Good showers and restroom. Dumpster at exit. Only thing would be better if they had signs showing which direction to go for which campsites. We had to drive around to find our site.

Good cell service for both Verizon and AT&T. Would definitely stay here again.

Loved the ancient ruins.

We arrived Thursday evening on a holiday weekend and all spots were filled up. Luckily we had a reserved spot beforehand. Most of the reservable spots are accessible to larger rigs. Spot 36 is very narrow and would not advice that one if In a large class A or a longer fifth wheel. We stayed in 18. The picnic table is on the back side but there is a large field directly behind. Great for the kids to run around. Shade is great throughout the day and shades the camp spot great. Considering that it is a holiday weekend there weren’t as many people as we were anticipating. Everyone was respectful of quiet hours and each other. The camp host were very friendly and even came around on the 4th just before sunset and handed out glow sticks for the kids. The showers were closed but bathrooms all open.

There are water spigots throughout the campground that water is free to get if you are camping in the campground. You are also able to fill up freshwater tank at the entrance by the showers when you arrive. Dump station is onsite.

Verizon service was terrible. Some spots were able to get LTE but not guaranteed.
