Best RV Parks & Resorts near Morenci, AZ

North Clifton RV Park in Clifton provides full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections for RVs.

"Conveniently located large sites clean facilities," noted one visitor about Safford RV Resort.

Most RV parks in the region maintain accessibility throughout winter months, though summer temperatures can reach extreme levels in lower elevation locations. Road conditions to campgrounds vary, with mountain routes requiring careful navigation due to switchbacks and elevation changes. Passport America discounts are accepted at North Clifton RV Park, reducing nightly rates for members. Cell service ranges from excellent near towns to spotty in more remote locations, with Verizon typically providing the most reliable coverage. Many parks welcome pets, though restrictions may apply in certain areas. During peak winter visitor season, advance reservations are strongly recommended as snowbirds frequently fill available sites from November through March.

    Cottonwood Campground — Roper Lake State Park

    Well maintained, great hiking

    We found the ranger to be very helpful in terms of outdoor activities (hiking, fishing, etc.) The park has great spaces for tent campers and big rigs, with electricity for 30 and 50 amp campers. They also have several cabins right on the lake. 

    Our spot had a picnic table and was right beside the beach. There is a great hike only minutes from the campground where you can see Mt. Graham. 

    The bathrooms, showers, and sinks were all well maintained. Also, the spot is great for stargazing.

    We are looking forward to returning. The town of Safford is charming and has some nice restaurants too.

    Haekel Rd Dispersed Camping

    Nice spot with great views, easy access to goods/services 8m away.

    Nice Spot. Easy to find, and easy to find a spot. Big Rig friendly in the 1st area. Gets a little tighter the further down you go like most places. We stayed in the 1st area for stronger internet & less fuel consumption when we go to town. Diesel prices are stupid right now. We found a nice level unobstructed spot looking out at the snow capped peaks of Mt. Graham. Verizon via Visible 2-3 bars. ATT via Straight Talk 3-4. Haven't tried OTA channels. 4 Rigs in the 1st area, about a football field apart. Some overnighters, but most we talked to here 7-14 days. Minimal trash, but some. Pretty quiet and only about 8m to town, but it feels more remote. Free dump station at the Water Reclamation Plant in Safford, just sign in, dump, sign out. They also have water to rinse, not potable. Cute diner in town called Jerry's. Good burgers at JD's sports bar (loud though). Great RV repair shop (Trek RV) squeezed us in for a Furnace motor issue. This one gets added to the Will RETURN list.

    Arcadia Campground

    Nice break from the desert heat but overpriced

    My husband, myself and our 2 small dogs live in Tucson, AZ. We recently acquired a roof top tent and we’ve been trying out various campgrounds across the Southwest.

    The drive up scenic highway 366 is worth a trip regardless. There are some amazing views of the Pinaleños. Since it’s still February, the road to the top of the mountain was closed to us so we decided to stay at Arcadia since it’s open year round.

    We were the only people staying overnight, which surprised us since it was a holiday weekend. We did see a group picnicking when we first arrived though. Also, we could hear sports cars on the highway at night. Probably racing down the tight switchbacks.

    No water, so make sure to bring your own. Toilets were clean, pit toilets and there were 2 sets. Campsites are pretty spread out. Some were 30-50 feet from the main road and wouldn’t really suit our needs as RTT campers. Lots of trash cans and a few bear boxes. Each site has a fire pit with a cooking grate and a cement picnic table. For camping in AZ, it is well suited for tent camping. We stayed in site 12. Most other sites wouldn’t not be ideal for RTTs.

    I would definitely return to the Pineleños, but I’m going to wait until April, when we can access the sites at the top of the mountains.

    Overall, it’s a nice wooded area, but with only 1 hiking trail (to Shannon Campground, 10mi r/t) and no vista views from the site, I don’t think it’s worth $20 a night. We decided to only spend 1 night here.

    Hannagan Campground - Apache Sitgreaves National Forests

    Hannagan Meadow

    Beautiful little campground!  Just 7 sites, walking distance from Hannigan Meadow, access for a nice trail to Aker Lake right in the campground.  Some mild road noise from 191, but very peaceful stay.  Every site will fit a small rv or tent.

    Cottonwood Campground — Roper Lake State Park

    Quiet, well maintained state park

    This is our second time staying here and they have started doing some upgrades to the park. New dump station and some new bathrooms and shower houses. We stayed in the Hacienda loop both times. I like this loop better because it doesn’t seem as crowded as the other loops. Sites are well spaced and level. Nice hiking trails around the lake also where you can fish. Very close to Safford and Thatcher that have a great number of stores.

    Hot Well Dunes Recreation Area

    AMAZING

    I have been full timing in my 22 ft travel Trailer for 2.5 years.. this easily is one of my fav spots. Camping is $3a day near the hot wells but outside the recreation area, is all BLM camping. Hot wells right next to our spot were amazing. I just wish they were working all 24 hours a day. The wells are pumped by a solar pump so cloud coverage or night mean the solar pumps aren’t pumping. But they fill up about an hour after sunrise and about an hour after sunset it drains. We were the only ones there for 4 days. It was awesome

    Pueblo Park

    Quiet

    6 mile dirt road that was in good condition passable with a car and trailer. 11 large private sites, 2 single unisex vault toilets, we stayed for 4 days and the toilets were not cleaned and no paper. No water available. Not very busy, 3 out of 11 sites occupied. Nice hiking available but no information regarding hikes. No cell service from T Mobil or Verizon.
