Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Oracle, AZ

Plenty of space, the best dog parks ever!

Very nice RV park. Clean and safe. Solar shades provide Clean power to park. Large and shaded dog park area for the fur babies.

for a koa this place was surprisingly clean, I have two dogs, but this koa had a dog park that i was able to take them to in order to get all of their energy out before the long car trip. I would probably stay here again

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.

We just went camping here our first time last weekend and we had a great time! A very kid friendly campground, they had lots of things to keep you busy! 2 pools, a playground, game room, pickle ball courts, mini golf, RC car track, go-cart rentals, golf cart rentals, dog parks, activity’s for kids, you won’t be bored! Bathrooms/ showers were pretty clean and had a nice little store if you forgot stuff. 3 nice big propane fire pits by the entrance were perfect for roasting marshmallows. The BBQ Rush had great food if you don’t feel like cooking one night. Only $36 a night for a back in site with full hookups is a great deal! We had a blast and will definitely be back!

Justin's Diamond J doesn't allow credit card payment and doesn't have online reservations. It's adult only and had a bunch of restrictions. No use of washers/dryers in RVs, no streaming/skyping, no electric heaters. Breed restrictions on pets. See photo for brochure. There are pickleball/tennis courts, a dog area, horse shoes and bocce ball. Sites are full hookup. Premium sites offer better views and have more privacy.

This place is incredible. Huge gated property with many different site options. Each site offers a metal table with 4 chairs. Some have playgrounds, private doggy runs, a fireplace, a sky deck, a covered patio, and many other awesome options. There are 2 main community areas. The larger one by the front check in offers a BBQ restaurant, a pool with spa, gym, laundry, putt putt, pickleball court, basketball court, corn hole, playground, indoor rec room with games and pool and other outdoor games. There is also multiple events throughout each day, some for kids, some for family, and some for adults. The second area has a playground, 24 hour laundry, clean bathrooms, a dog wash, and a pool with a spa that is still a very decent size. There are also multiple dog parks and bathrooms throughout the park. Phone service for Verizon and ATT are not good, but they do offer wifi. Very quick check in and quiet neighborhood. Huge property so not all of the spots were filled during our time in May, so we had empty spaces surrounding us. The spaces are not tight at all and very easy to park in. They have curbside trash pickup 24/7, so all you have to do is leave your trash on the curb and you’re good to go! Overall wonderful stay and highly recommend!

Great camp with lots of privacy, space, and views. Pet friendly. Nice restrooms. Streams and trails.

This is a well maintained facility. Friendly people. Close to Tucson. Cable and wifi. Pet friendly. Sites are close together but when we visited, we were spaced well.

Nice RV resort, pool, hot tub, gym, laundry, playgrounds, and a rib restaurant on site. Some sites had hammocks, a few had private dog "parks" (approximately 3' aluminum fencing with chicken wire attached on inside of fence to prevent escapes), some had fire chimneys built into the site, they also had a row of solar panels raised high enough above the site to provide shade when parking under them. The sites have decorative rock, concrete pad and usually a nice round metal table with 4 matching chairs or a higher table with 4 chairs. My site, as did a lot of others, had flowing fruit trees, other sites had different types of beautiful trees. The hook ups were easy to see, easy to access and we're illuminated at night. In the evening they have life entertainment and beautiful fire bowls situated around adirondack chairs at the pool area. Very pleasant atmosphere. There's a mail room, a gift shop and valet trash pickup at your site. A gate guard is either on duty or the front office will buzz you in. I enjoyed their landscaping since it was so different that what I see at home. I fell in love with the barrel cactus so much so that I picked one up to take home with me from a near by garden store only to find out that don't grow in my home state of Florida. (Probably why I have never seen one before.) Not wanting it to die I donated it to the park where they assured me it would be planted and enjoyed. The park is very clean and we'll maintained. The employees friendly and helpful. This was a great park. I look forward to returning one day.

We stayed here in January 2021 during our visit to Saguaro National Park due to previous good reviews. Classic BLM-style camping, meaning no amenities, dispersed, and pack out all waste.

This campground’s name is quite apt; it is indeed a cactus forest, and a beautiful one at that. However, watch where you step AND where you drive!!!! Some places are hairier than others, but we were very careful for our own safety and for the livelihood of the Saguaros, as young ones are quite tiny and need to be protected. We were traveling with our cat, and we usually let him walk around campsites with us, but decided it was not worth the risk at this campground. I would avise against dogs roaming here as well.

This is a great campground if you are just looking to get away for the weekend or want a quaint, quiet campground amongst incredible Saguaros. However, I personally prefer the BLM Pipeline campground to this one, as it’s more spread out, has less opportunity for cactus stepping, and has a much better proximity to Saguaro NP (especially the East park/Tucson Mountain Park).

This is your run of mill RV park in Catalina near Tucson AZ. Busy area in the winter months with mild and comfortable weather. Nearby hiking at Catalina State Park is awesome! Great Mexican food in the area and lots to do along Oracle Rd.

This campground is located about 12 minutes outside of Oracle, AZ and is a great place to go to disconnect (no cell reception). We spent two nights here and had a great time! The campground had bathrooms, running well water and bear safes, as well as campfire rings and picnic tables. There are some lovely hikes very close to the campsite, but we were unable to check them out since we have a dog with a hurt paw :( There’s abundant wildlife, and both mornings we woke up to the sound of wild turkeys checking out our setup. The fee is $15 per night, which you drop in a box at the entrance to the campground. We didn’t ever see a host, but it could be because of the season, considering we were basically alone the entire time. There is however a lot of traffic going through the campsite because of a school at the end, but the cars didn’t bother us (in fact they made us feel a little safer knowing there were other people around). The road going in is a dirt road and I would definitely not recommend trying it after a rain. P.S. Biosphere 2 is about 30 minutes from the campground and is definitely worth the visit!

It started right off the bat. I went into an extremely noisy office and saw 2 women and told them I had a reservation. She looked up our name and said she had no reservation. My worst fear!!!! We’ve traveled for 19 mo and never had this happen. So let me take you back to my initial phone call. I called on 2/3 at 2:02 pm which call lasted 6 minutes. I spoke to a woman that was very friendly and kinda laughing throughout the call because it was soo noisy. She had to ask me to repeat things several times. I had her on speaker as we were in the truck. My husband also heard the conversation. She ask me a list of questions- one of which was my drivers lic # and my date of birth. My husband replied “really?” I had my credit card in my hand ready to give her the information. She finished asking questions and said ok you’re all set we’ll see you Monday which was 2/6. I thought it was odd she didn’t ask for my card information. She said she’d send me an email confirmation. Our Email address is is hard to understand over the phone and with it being so noisy I thought it unlikely she got the email right. I always snap a pic with my iPhone of the website right after I make the reservations just in case I don’t get the email so we have the name of the campground and address. I have a large desk top calendar that I put the park name in on the appropriate date and the phone #. Do you can imagine my frustration when she said she didn’t have the reservation. She tried to tell me that I called the wrong park that they would have never made s reservation because they were full. She tried to blame it on the camp host but when I gave her the time I called she would have been there. She said well we would have asked you all the questions on this sheet of paper and showed it to me. I saw the question with the drivers lic # and date of birth. I said yes! I was asked those questions. My husband was shocked you ask for a driver’s license AND date of birth. I explained my process when I get a confirmed reservation. I said here’s the screenshot of the web page. She said well that’s our website. I said YES I just said that!!!!! Is this your phone number. I gave her the number off my phone. She said yes it was their number. But could I have spoken to someone else. I said well your number is in between two campground in Chino CA so NO. Well did you maybe tell them you couldn’t talk then or you wanted to wait to confirm it? I said NO I had the debit card in my hand ready to give you the info. I was surprised you didn’t ask for it. Well did you get a confirmation because we would have sent you a confirmation. Again I explained about how the email gets misconstrued and i sometimes don’t get confirmation because they get the email wrong. That’s why I’m so mythological about the information after I make reservations. She said all she had was a 27’ site available how long was our camper? I said 42’. She said we’ve just never had anything like this happen. I said well quite frankly neither have we. Well we do have an emergency site for situations like this. It might be tight. We looked at it and it was fine and even close to the pool and dog park. So perfect site. A gentleman helped us get parked and we were good to go. We left for dinner and when we came back it was dark and gated we’re closed. Do they do have the sand guy doing security. So he came out of his booth and ask us if the office gave us a gate code. I said nope! So he gave me the code and we were able to get in finally. We had people backed up behind us on the street. She gave us written rules and placed to eat and things like that but no codes or Wi-Fi info at all. I know the woman I spoke to on the phone was the same woman I spoke to in the office. I recognized her voice and her laughter. The whole thing was just a mistake on their part but wanted to blame it on me. She said it’s never happened before yet they have an emergency site when it does happen. 🤷‍♀️ We’re in the very front by the office. The street noise is loud but I guess we had some place to park. While we were here we had our camper washed by Alex Auto Detailing Service. They did a great job and very reasonable. 520-971-8451 ***

I have stayed there multiple times, and every time that i have people bring their dogs to run in the woods. No leashes and no poop bags. i have had to clean up stranger's dog poop in front of my tent.

Nice campground with shower and toilets. Dogs are allowed on a leash. Water is available.

Quite place. The area I was in, the camping spots were spread out. The Catalina mountains were right behind us and made a beautiful back drop. Bathrooms seemed to be far away, especially when you really have to go. I do have reservations to go back in October. One down side is that though dogs ARE allowed in the park, they are not allowed on the hiking trails and since I didn't know that ahead of time and I couldn't leave my dog alone at the camp site... No hiking for me =(

First time at BLM. Crowded. Dirty. Lots of broken glass and I have dogs. Right off highway so car noise. Looking for a better spot.

I stayed 2 nights with my dog and it was a fantastic experience. The lake was beautiful, the creek made for lovely hiking, and the campsite hosts were friendly and helpful. I cannot wait to stay again!
