The Sierra Vista Recreational Area incorporates several mountain ranges which are separated by rolling hill county and some of the Southwest's most extensive grasslands. The area includes the Huachuca, Patagonia and Whetstone mountains and the Canelo Hills. These areas were once the focus of extensive mining activity and their canyons and ridges are rich in the history of those colorful days. An extensive network of trails provides access to the Huachuca Mountains and to the 20,190 acre Miller Peak Wilderness. In Ramsey Canyon, where miners once sluiced, blasted and tunneled for gold and silver, birdwatchers have founda gentler bonanza. A number of scenic drives cross the area's broad grasslands, and anglers find their reward in Parker Canyon Lakewhere stocked trout, as well as other species, challenge fishermen.

This is a nice 40+ campground right on the edge of Saguaro National Park. The sites are gravel with full hook ups. I had plenty of room to maneuver my 19’ travel trailer. They have planned activities -at least in the winter- which is nice to see. There seem to be a lot of long term guests here and they are very social with each other.
Legend
The Fam Camp on DMAFB is one of the best fam camps offered by the USAF. This site gets very busy during the winter or special events (the air shows). People often rent these spots for long term use as well.
You must have base access in order to stay at this site.
The sites are spacious and offer full hookups. There is a dump station, bathrooms and and laundry on site.
The base also offers a commissary and BX with a food court.

This is a very large RV. “Resort” just off Hwy 90 north of Huachuca City AZ. It’s about 20 minutes to Sierra Vista, and 30 minutes to Tombstone. Wide streets for easy maneuvering even larger RVs. 30/50 amp, water, electricity, and sewer. Several bathroom/showers, laundry, WiFi. Good sized dog run. Many of the sites look like they are permanent or semi-permanent! I saw some for sale signs on lots, do you may be able to purchase a spot here.
ScoutRincon West RV Resort in Tucson has all the amenities you could dream up. Crystal clear heated pool and two hot tubs, billiards room, two small gyms, lots of showers and restrooms, even classes. Some live here all year in park models, others spend the winter in RV’s. Overnight stays and longer are no problem. Seems to be a designated area for RV’s on a short term basis, mixed in with longer stayers. Spotless, level pads, ample parking. Tennis and pickle ball courts, shuffleboard, etc... Mail room on-site.

We pulled in after dark and were gone by morning! We wanted somewhere to see the stars! It looked like a super clean park with paved roads, plenty of RV hookups and bath/shower house. We did tent camp. I wish we could have stayed longer to see the caverns, but this was just a pit stop on our road trip!

A LOVELY RV RESORT IN A LOVLEY SETTING. VERY FRIENDLY. CLEAN & AND P ET FRIENDLY. THE JAM SESSIONS THAT ARE HELD ON THURS IS THE COUNTRY JAM HOSTED BY A VERY SWEET MAN, CHUCK, & ON SUNDAY IS THE GOSPEL JAM HOSTED BY, DWIGHT, A VERY CHRISTIAN MAN. THE MUSIC BOTH NIGHTS ARE AWESOME...I cant think of a better place to spend the winter.
Guide
Our first time taking an RV to a casino and LOVED that they had a rv park with full hookups. They offered to shuttle us to the casino and they did not have anyone available to shuttle us back so we walked but it wasn’t too far. While the slots were noticeably tighter than usual being an Indian reservation, we still had a nice time. DoorDash even found us so that’s a plus.
ScoutThis rv resort is a very well kept one and in an excellent condition. The resort is close to the freeway and historic sites as well. The nightly fee is reasonable and staff members are friendly/responsive. Due to Covid-19 restrictions I chose not to use all options available to guests such as pool, laundry, etc. but all facilities seem very clean.
Only thing I did not appreciate was the fact that this place charged the hotel tax of about 10%, but for a short stay I guess it was ok. Not sure if the hotel tax is Tuscon area specific.

If you have to stay in an RV park, this is the one to stay in. It is absolutely not your typical RV park that feels like a parking lot with rows of RVs all side by side. This is a combo of an old timey motel, vintage trailers that are rented out on air bnb, a cool hangout area and pool with music playing and they have movies on some nights on the big screen in the pool area, and a couple of FHU(30 amp only) RV spots(for$35/night) Also saw camper vans there too. It’s right off the road so there are road noises, as well as noise from neighboring businesses and trains.
The owner Toni and her daughter have put so much time and energy into building this place, and their love of all things vintage shows. Toni will tell you the history of the trailers and busses on site, including a 1970’s rock n roll tour bus and a trailer that the Dead are said to have used for travel while on tour. Vintage electric car and a car called Wedge and looks as the name implies. There is one washer and one dryer available for use, as well as a bathtub/shower, kitchen, and a hangout room with TV, music, and a free table arcade game with multiple 80s video games to choose from.
The motel rooms are available for rent as well, though when we stayed there in our RV all the rooms were occupied by a film crew and the artist in residence. We asked about tent sites and the owner seemed willing to work with guests on that, though we didn’t see a good spot where tents would go.
There is also a chicken coop and a small garden! You may get lucky and get some fresh eggs in the morning.

Interesting RV park in some rugged desert foothills. Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly spots. Some are full hookups, some are dry camping. Community center, trash dumpsters, washroom showers, central fresh water spigots for the dry campers. Seems to be an interesting community of folks that return year after year. Staff was very friendly even to those that showed up without a reservation or prior notice. They found us a spot for a couple nites per our needs. Cell signal is poor for TMobile and Verizon, slightly better with ATT. RV area is rolling ridges and steep sections, this is not a flat RV park. The access road from paved hwy was 7.9 miles of washboard sandy dusty dirt so be warned. Additional thoughts are that the short-term options are limited, there is a very large ranch generator that runs 6am to 10 pm every day, and did I mention the 8 mi of dusty washboard sandy road makes quick trips to town uninviting. Hence the 4 stars.

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.
Guide
Great place to stay for visiting Tucson and surrounding area. We stayed for a week while visiting Saguaro NP. Cheap with full hook ups. Busy location as they hold rodeos and horse events regularly.
Ranger
Lovely blue water that makes an oasis of green around its edges with rolling hills. Various water activities (rentals on-site), swimming, and fishing are popular. Nice easy trails on site and many choices in other nearby state and federal lands. Great birding, check the migration schedules. Lots of neat wildlife including little lizards. Incredible stargazing. Find any hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant in the area for some of the best food of your life.
There are a lot of camping options, from backcountry/primitive to RV hookup. Make a reservation if you can. Varying shade. Good basic amenities and very clean (like all AZ State Park sites I've visited). Not too crowded for camping but the day-use water areas can get pretty hectic. Overall a lovely site that's a nice lush change of pace from the AZ desert.

When spending time on the road many times you will find campsite after campsite that is welcoming but not quite like home away from home. But when you drive through Tucson, there is a mecca filled with winter bird campers and long term campers which create a home away from home.
With only tent sites available on the facility, we were fortunate to find a site, however when we arrived we were so excited by the facilities we extended our stay by a day.
Office staff immediately greeted us and let us know about the facilities, which happened to feature a mini golf course, an indoor events facility, 2 swimming pools and hot tubs, an indoor recreation area and multiple on camp fire chinineas. In addition there was a fishing pond and dog park area.
Each of the 4 campsites were considered to be regular campsites instead of upgrade sites but when we arrived it was the most delux sites we had encountered along the way.
Pad sites were large and the first to actually accommodate our large tent and the ground was u like any we had seen before at a site. The soft mulch was similar to that of a modern day playground and made for a much more comfortable sleep over the two days we were there.
In addition to the standard picnic table of most facilities, this campground offered a kitchen facility at each campsite including a large copper sink and food storage as well as electricity and overhead lighting in the pergola designed to allow shade from the harsh Arizona sun.
It was the closest thing to glamping we had encountered by far!
Then as an added bonus, fresh fruit trees abounded ready for the picking. The front desk informed us of the allowance to pick what you want as everything was in season! An amazing treat on the road!
We spent many hours at the pool facility, enjoyed amazing neighbors, used the wifi and even did a load of laundry while in Tucson. The facility really was like a home away from home on the road.

If the scale went higher we would rank it more Bunnies. There were no real areas we could see for improvement. Staff was very accommodating, long term and short term residents of the facility were amazing and this was a desert oasis like no other!
GuideThis is a must stop in Tucson. The RV park is next to the casino. The park is gated, and it has all the amenities needed for a complete stay plus gambling.
The cost is $50 a night for either a back-end or a pull thru spot. There is 24/7 security, and impeccably clean laundry room with folding tables for $1.75 a load (credit card only), clean shower room, full hookups, and a most excellent hot tub with ADA chair lift access.
The casino has a number of restaurants. I highly recommend the Asian restaurants happiness hour which is all day before 7:00 p.m. they have lots of appetizers and drinks specials. The decor there and in the rest of the casino is delightful. This is truly the best tribal land Casino I have ever seen.

We moved to Tombstone Territories after dry camping for 10 days. We were ready for laundry and full hook ups. We were going to stay for 3 days, but extended 3 more. The park is sort of desolate, but it’s not too far to towns for groceries and such. It is central to many fun things to see and do. I say it’s on the decline because they have a pool and the check in clerk said it had not been open since COVID, she had no idea when/if they would reopen it. She also said they used to have fun activities pre COVID, but nothing since. One other thing. I found it difficult to figure out where to check in. There is a big house, but when you walk up to it, it says private residence. They should put up signs or something. Wi-Fi was non existent. We did like the full hook ups.
GuideMost of Rincon Country West RV Resort is really for folks who are living them permanently or seasonally in their park model homes. Only in the far back corner is there really parking for JUST RVs.(Although even that"back corner" is probably home to well over 100 spaces.) So it feels like driving through a miniature suburban subdivision. It's location is in the heart of Tucson, so there's NO feeling of"getting away from it all" by staying here. In fact, your hear planes, helicopters& traffic. It's a city. But for us, spending 5 days exploring the area, it was a fairly central jumping off point for our explorations.
We had a"deluxe" pull-through site, which got us a nice patch of grass, a charcoal grill, a picnic table, good water pressure, clean electricity and a site with two different dump spots. There was cable TV available and wifi, but we just used my Verizon hotspot for streaming some Netflix and that worked great. We were close to our neighbors, but not TOO close. The more "normal" spaces near us would have put you in much closer proximity to your neighbors. For us, it was worth the extra$5 or so per day. (Having said that, the place really is pretty pricey.$70 per day is near the top of what we've paid.)
The place has many amenities, none of which we availed ourselves of. We were really only there in the evenings and for sleeping. But pools, sports courts of all kinds, several nice dog parks, rec center, auditorium, etc. etc. I would think someone longterm would find lots to do. The security here is pretty stringent, which is nice. We'd certainly stay here again.
Guide
Gravel pull thru sites with full hook ups for $21 per nite! Plenty roomy and level. A few small trees or Yuccas between sites. Some mountain views in the distance and a pretty good sunset. They have a great little store, full of Jerky, Pistachios, Honey, Jam, and lots more, where you check in for camping. You can sample the jerkies before buying. Laundry room has 4 washers and dryers. Shower rooms look clean. I would definitely stay here again, and gladly.

The owners/managers are very friendly and kind. They told us where else to explore down in this region. Their bird feeders and birding area has way more birds than just the Ramsey Cyn preserve. We saw lots of birds and very close. Also saw lots of turkey and Coos deer. They are also knowledgable about their birds. The wild life and birding opportunity is the reason to stay there. They charged full hook up but have only electric. We did not get a discount at Ramsey Canyon Preserve for booking at the Cabins, though we were told otherwise. The Cabins are not affiliated with the Nature Conservancey.
ScoutPatagonia Lake Campground is well maintained. Very busy in the Winter months so you must make reservations well in advance. The visitor center is great if you have children, they have all kinds of activities for kids, and a junior ranger program. The RV spots are full hookups no sewer but there is dump station there on the premises. They have tent camping right by the lake as well. Cabins will be completed in October 2018. Staff very friendly and the grounds are well maintained. One of our favorites.
TravelerNice 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.
GuideBig RV parking lot. Amenities you'd expect at a KOA park. Clean. Surrounding area kinda blah. Can hear highway noise. Onsite restaurant not great. BBQ tasted like it came from Sysco. Beans and potato salad were decent. Bar at restaurant. Staff friendly. Big rig friendly.

Joined a friend for a weekend in the RV park. It was dark when I arrived and can only see the outlines of mountains from the moonlight. Awoke to absolute beauty! Saguaros sprinkled throughout the grounds. The grounds are well kept as well as restrooms. It was my friends RV so I don’t know much about the reservation procedures but had electric hookup and maybe water. The campgrounds are tucked away in the mountain and a bit of a drive into Tucson but the site is so worth the remoteness. Great location to unwind and recharge. Short distance from Desert Museum.
LegendThis is an ok rv park. It’s not fancy. But it has what we need. We have reservations for a month. Had planned to stay at RV park down the road, but they didn’t have a working shower, and we didn’t think we could go a month without, This park has 72 pull through sites, water, 30/50 amp electric, and sewer. Monthly sites charge extra for electricity. There are 2 bathrooms/showers which are passable. There is a big dog run, and a small one for small dogs. They have laundry and an exercise room. Internet is spotty. There are a few tent sites. There is an RV service and sales facilities adjacent to the park
Ranger
First class RV park where only members of the Escapees
rv club may lease or rent a site. Most sites have a casita which are taxed locally as "sheds". The waiting list to lease a site is several years. I am currently number 248 on the list. 2o months ago I was 350. It is also a 55+ years old RV park
LegendLike most I’ve seen in this area, this RV park is pretty much a large gravel parking lot. Sites are level FHU and large enough to park tow vehicle or toad along side your RV. The great advantage of this place is the cost of $35 a day. FCFS, no reservations Park is frequently busy with events, rodeos, etc, which may limit access to some amenities. Drag strip next door may add sweet but brief engine noise

There are classes for everything. If you want to keep learning, this is for you. Small sites. Very clean. Nicest RV park.
