Quiet getaway
-This was a great little spot! There is no light pollution besides maybe a neighbor that forgot to turn off their lights. -Kartchner Cave is walking distance with a great observation center even if you don’t take a tour into the caves. -Couple stores within 20miles for any forgotten items. -Spots a very large and spaced well. -Restrooms/showers well maintained *Shower water pressure is less than desired. -Visited Tombstone, AZ as well. About a 30min drive. **Watch your step, we came across a Diamond Back Rattle Snake about 4 feet from our picnic bench. ***It’s Arizona, summer times will be hot, our temp in June was 108.

Lakeside Campground
Great campground located on a lake. It's offers all the standard campground amenities. I do really like the birdwatching area outside the visitor center. There's also a small beach you can swim at.

Older Facilities
Good campground for fishermen and bird watchers. There is also some hiking available.
Pros - well maintained facilities but a little old. Hot showers and clean bathrooms. Camping next to the lake. The campground has a visitor center and camp store.
Cons - campsites are very close with limited privacy.

Fairly new State Park with most of the amenities and a cavern
We stayed here for 5 nights at the end of March, 2023. The campground has paved roads, showers, dump station, water & electric hookups and the usual campsite set-up.
Three trails are located within the park. The campground itself is large, sites somewhat spaced apart and the grounds have a lot of stubby trees which were leafless when we were there.
A large visitor center is near the park entrance and the cavern is up the hill behind the center. We reserved and did the Rotunda/Throne Tour. It was very cool and our 1st cave tour. I would suggest reading the rules for tours before reserving. Access to the cavern is very controlled as far as how you get in and what you can take. There's quite a story about how this park came into being.
The location of the park allows quick access to the I-10 and the town of Benson, about 12 miles away. Other interesting sights are within an hour or so of the park.

Very busy, lots of families with kids, good location for exploring the area
We stayed here once in March of 2020. Must have Spring Break - tons of families, tons of kids, dogs and a few old timers. There's a couple short hikes from the campground that were OK. Lots of birds, saw a couple javelinas.
There's some boat rentals and a small visitor center/general store. We had water and electric at our site. Sites can be pretty close together with boundaries undefined. Shore of the lake difficult to get to in places because of thick vegetation. East CG is maybe a little less busy than the west.
Lots of places to explore nearby - Tubac, Madera Canyon, the Town of Patagonia, Ramsey Canyon near Sierra Vista, which is a good place to resupply and other more far flung places like Tombstone.
It was to have a lake by the campground which is a little unusual in Arizona. The land is different than the Sonoran desert of Tucson but still cool. We probably wouldn't go back unless it was offseason.

Awesome park with plenty to do, hiking and boating. Guided hike and bird walks along with boat tours. They do need to heat the bathroom when it’s really cold. Also need to fix showers so you don’t have to keep pressing the button every two minutes

RV sites & Cabins centrally located to amenities!
Ashley here with The Dyrt. We're so excited to have this property on our platform. I love how close you are to local spots to eat, drink and explore, but also are immersed by nature. Come check them out and leave them some love!

Not bad but…
Convenient location just off I-10. Had some great sunsets. Park facilities are clean but a little run down. It’s more of a mobile home park and RV park combined. Some permanent stationary mobile homes and some RV spots with lots of yard stuff that makes it look somewhat junky. Pull through sites are very close together but level enough with gravel and a patio pad with table and fire pit. Dog park is all dirt but large with fresh water. Laundry is $1.75 for a large load both washing and drying. Propane fill available. Workout room was minimal but kept cool. Cactus garden was nice.

Maybe not next time
We've now stayed here 3 separate times. The first time was pretty good. The second and third times, not as much. The shore power 30 amp showed reverse polarity and a faulty ground, so we used the 50 amp with a dog bone. The last time we stayed, we were given the same site and the electric had not been repaired...after reporting it 3 weeks prior! Oops. Next time...we may go elsewhere.

Quiet Christmas Stay
Decided to try this campground as last minute Christmas plans. Stayed here for three nights. Very quiet during our stay. We left our Weboost at home but where able to get signal with our Verizon hotspot in the back window of our rig. If you have a rig over 35’ make sure you research the site before booking. We had site 3 which is listed as 60’ long. It is very long but it is stair stepped. The only level and usable space is in the middle. Our Super C is 40’ and the wheel base just fit and we we able to level and still put slides out. If we still had our fifth wheel we would have struggled unhitching and hitching.

Very nice place
The camp sites are large, offer electric and water. You dump your gray and black at a location just outside of the camp area for free. Lightly shaded. There are picnic benches and fire pits at each site. You can easily walk to the cavern discovery center. There is ample area for little ones to ride bikes or play. Pretty views of the surrounding hills. There are clean restrooms. The stars at night are beautiful!

Kartchner Caverns State Park Campground
Not exactly my cup of tea
This is an excellent well-maintained state park worthy of the high price for a simple asphalt pad. Here sites are very close together. Highway noise continues well into the night. The groundskeepers also add noise to the general noise pollution to keep the pristine garden like appearance of this high desert area looking immaculate. My preference would actually be for something a little more natural. Give me a national forest service logging road any day. Thanks bye
Alivia M.GuideKartchner Caverns State Park Campground
Lovely, spacious and great facilities
Each site is really big and everything is clean and well maintained. Nearly all sites have electrical and water with a dump station located near the entrance. Each site has a table and fire pit as well as shade from trees. The park hosts the caverns and cave tours and a museum about the area. We are headed on a cave tour today! Nice trails surround the park and clearly marked for either hiking, bike or equestrian.

Beautiful high desert location
Set in the foothills of the Whetstone Mountains and located next to the amazing Karchner Caverns.
All pull through sites have 20, 30 and 50 amp service and water. Back in spots have 20/30 amp and water. Free dump station.
Sites are all paved and have plenty of room. Set in a mesquite grove and spaced well apart.

Beautiful campground. Tours available in the caverns.
Everything about this campground was great! Lots of mesquite trees and prickly pears and birds. Campground hosts were friendly and helpful. The bathrooms and showers were clean and had plenty of hot water. There are easy trails and more difficult trails for hiking.
The caverns are definitely worth the tour and the nature center has some interesting exhibits.

Saguaro Sanctuary
This park is minutes away from the east section of Saguaro National Park. It may look and feel remote, but good shopping, restaurants and attractions are very close. It is quiet and level, with every amentity including pool, laundry and an activities room. The staff are helpful and knowlegeable about nearby attractions and services. For long or short stays, this is a go-to place to stay in Tucson.

Solid campsites at a designated dark sky park
Camp host was friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were clean and worked well. Nice that the trailheads are just a few min walk from the campgrounds. The foothills loop is easy and takes you all around the area without being too challenging. Incredible stargazing experience- no lights after 8pm I believe and Kartchner Caverns State Park is a designated dark sky park by the International Dark Sky Association. Glad to live only an hour away from this Arizona State Park.
Cris G.GuideKartchner Caverns State Park Campground
Outstanding!!
Super clean, sites are spacious and all with outstanding views. Very impressed with this park. The park does not allow you to come early to check in and that’s because they clean the sites, rack the gravel and make sure everything is pristine for your stay. Everything was outstanding. The showers were clean, the water was good and electric was stable. Each site had a fire pit and picnic table.
As others have said, it’s a dart sky park so the stars are popping out of the sky.
There are bumper outs hikes to enjoy the scenery. All levels of exertion. I highly recommend this gem of a park.

Amazing views
We arrived at Patagonia State Park at 12:30. Check in was easy. There are so many hiking trails and views that it made this stop a bonus! We enjoyed hiking, biking and kayaking at their prestige lake. Well worth the trip. Camp sites included electric, water and dump at each site.

Nice & clean, quiet park
Friendly neighbors and very clean bathrooms and showers. Bring a small kayak with you. There are also picnic tables right on the water and hiking trails.

Nice place
Stayed here in November of 2021 in a pop up camper. All the sites were full during my stay. Bathrooms and sites were all well taken care of. Camp hosts were very friendly but not intrusive. Fire wood was also available for sale. Definitely check out the caverns, you won’t be disappointed. You do need to purchase tickets ahead of time. There is plenty of hiking in the area too!

Beautiful Birding Park!
Right next to the Mexican border. Gorgeous park with sites on the water. Park is clean, with exceptional restrooms. Boat rides are offered on the weekends. Birding walks on Friday and Monday mornings. We will definitely come again!

Great trails
Hiked the 4.1 mile trail with 4 and 2 year old. It was a 3 hour adventure that felt like 5 different bikes bc of all the different landscapes the trail takes you through. Truly one of best hikes I’ve ever done. Only negatives of campsite were the shower water pressure and the unlevel site we had.

Most sites have a lake view. Seems like Arizona takes good care of her parks. Lots to do in the area.
