THE BEST CAMPING NEARMarana, Arizona

Nice county campground with hiking and biking. No water hookups and no showers but outdoor dishwashing station available. Some sites are fairly small and not level. Only a few would take big rigs. Great desert views.

We were disappointed to get to Arizona and see all the trash at most of the other dispersed sites west and north of Phoenix and were going b line it out of here, but needed to get some work done for the night and ended up here.

Wow! Whole different beauty. The cactuses are tall, the skies are…

Showers and bathrooms in general are fantastic! All electric sites. Fill up your water tank b4 u get here. Great, challenging hike in the park. Decent room between sites but open. A little bit of noise from the Interstate but not bad.

Good place for a temporary camp. It’s pretty close to the road so it’s noisy. Very close to town for supplies or site seeing.

Plenty of space, the best dog parks ever!

This site is actually about an hour further up toward Mt Lemmon. Search “Whitetail campground” to find it. All the roads in this area are gated off

I booked Gilbert Ray based on campground location. We wanted to be close enough to Tucson for day trips yet far enough out to enjoy some peace and quiet. We were pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the place. Sunrises and sunsets are something to behold!

This is a big lot right off the side of the highway. A lot of people in the area with tents and campers. Super close to gas stations and places to eat. Free of course and not a lot of privacy but all in all a good place to stay in a pinch!

We camped in the Ringtail loop which is open to individual camping from January through March (usually a group camping area). It is a big gravel parking lot where they jam everyone in there. Super tight! Decent hiking trails from the park especially Romero Canyon trail. Bathrooms/showers were…

I stayed here for one night and absolutely loved it. So easy to find with the coordinates. Enough people around that if I felt like I had an emergency I could ask for help but also had enough of my own space to have privacy. The view was gorgeous. Enjoy!

This free dispersed BLM camping area is along an unmarked two- track road that heads toward a topographic feature knob (2555 ft elevation). No water, toilets or trash. Cell service is ok unless you get close to back side of knob. The access road is not doable for RVs or TTs IMO, so this area is…

It was a good clean park and close to sights we wanted to see. Easy access from freeway.

This dispersed camping area is actually on the Cattle Tanks road south of Park Links road. The side two- track sandy roads are very narrow and bordered by dense chain fruit cholla plants. This area is not a good choice for dogs and their owners. Also shooting is in the background like everyday. …

Took a Cruise America rv to the park as a first time RVr. Had electric hook up which was much needed as frigid out. Site was clean and spaced well away from others.

Clean toilets and showers available with blazing hot water, and firewood for $7 a bundle from park office. Trash could be dumped on…

Gorgeous desert, close to Saguaro National part West side, flush toilets and helpful camp hosts. The spots on A loop at least were super snug. Some larger ones against open desert that we will shoot for next trip. Great jumping off spot for the national park.
