  Lost Dutchman State Park Campground

  Amazing view and great hikes

  We only got to stay here one night, but it is very beautiful. At the base of the Superstition mountains, which are awesome. Out of the city, so nice and quiet. All the sites are paved and fairly level. There are many sites that have pull through, electric, and water. The showers were good. Many hiking trails in the area. Would love to stay here a little longer.

  Encore Paradise RV

  A good place to camp in Phoenix

  We camped for two nights at this resort which is primarily for mobile homes or seasonal campers. Nice facilities (pool, laundry, etc). No picnic tables at the sites though.

  Bulldog Canyon Dispersed Camping - North Entrance

  My favorite area

  Permit required for the gate code. Camping available 2 miles in. Need a 4x4. It's definitely worth the hastle as these spots are beautiful and clean. A lot of OHV so it kicks up dust.

  Peralta Road Dispersed Camping

  No more camping

     The county has closed camping on Peralta road,  signs are up,  and trenches have been dug so no access is available.

  Lost Dutchman State Park Campground

  SUPERStition Views

  This State Park campground located in the Superstition Mountains is a frequent quick camp spot for me if I don feel like trying to beat the crowds to some favorite local dispersed sites.

  They offer sites with electric and water, and sites for dry camping, along with some cabins and group sites you can reserve. The sites offer as much privacy as one can expect in the desert and are not super close together, except for the site numbers 70+ which are only available in winter typically. There are plenty of hiking trails and activities in the park and nearby. The bathrooms and showers are clean and well maintained, and they even have a small dog “park” for your best pal to run off some energy.

  Favorite things about the park: The views and the wild life. We have seen so many beautiful birds, from quail and owls to roadrunners and vultures, along with several different types of squirrels, lizards, hare, and coyotes.

  Lost Dutchman State Park Campground

  Spectacular views

  If traveling near Phoenix you should make this state campground a number one option.

  The towering superstition mountain range is a beautiful site and while we were there we were able to watch a hiker who was rescued. This hiker was not injured, just afraid to come back down the trail. Guess going up is easier than coming down.

  The site we had had power and water. The showers in the restrooms were not great but something is better than nothing.

  Encore Countryside

  Avoid

  Poorly managed with arbitrary fees charged. Park is not a "resort", it's just an old rundown trailer park with a lot of very old park models.New management is awful.

  Lost Dutchman State Park Campground

  Great place to Stay

  Fairly close to our home (30 miles) but we love to do 1-2 nighters here when we have the time.  There is plenty to see around the area.  Park is well maintained.  Spots are close but not too close to each other.  Its a little elevated so the valley views are great.  Gets a little warm during the summer - after all it is AZ.  Theres an old Gold Mine nearby to visit.

  Saguaro Cove

  Remote Camping

  Takes a little 4 wheeling to get there or you can access it from the water.  Basic dispersed camping but gets a little warm during the summer months.  Views are nice and its a nice pack it in, pack it out spot.

  Canyon Lake Marina & Campground

  Fun lake, weekends exceptionally busy

  Been staying here off and on for over a decade. Great place to hang out with the family. Water hookup and electrical hookup. No sewer. They have a truck that will come pump your tank for a small fee. You can launch your boat and then bring to the campsite and tie off for easy access. Lots of parking available. You have to pay for extra vehicles. Dolly the Steamboat is available to ride around the lake and ticket purchase is at the marina. There is also a restaurant and bar at the marina. The campground has a mix of available sites. Day use also. Large grassy area for kids to play. Drive in can seem daunting if you haven’t experienced it before. Not bad, however. Hauled a 32’ 5th wheel with no problems at all.

  Pleasant Harbor RV Resort

  Beautiful Vista

  Very large park with many different levels of camping experiences. From dry camping to full on glamping ! I stayed at Vista Pt. Dry camp. The views were beautiful. I stayed 10 days and as a single women I felt very safe. Security makes it's rounds and you can't get into the park after leaving without your pass. The one thing I would mention the drive up to the PT is rather steep, but there were different sized rigs up there is it is doable. I didn't use the amenities as I was away most days visiting with my daughter who lives in the valley.

  State land trust/Inspiration Point

  Weekdays are best

  State land trust, good spot for a few nights. Gunshots in the distance, but no incidents/casualties lol. Pulled my 31ft TT back into a spot for a week. Close 10 min drive to stores like WinCo and Safeway and gas stations. Quite weekdays, loud weekends due to motor vehicles breaking the rules. (Not a ohv area but treated as such)

  Windy Hill Campground

  Very pretty, kinda cramped

  Gorgeous location and more spaced out than other campgrounds in the area (we stayed at the first loop). Be aware that if you have Verizon you may have bars but no LTE and that access and senior passes don’t work for double sites - also the host made rude remarks to other campers about my partner and I not being seniors because her access pass (she’s very visibly disabled) showed automatically as “senior” when we paid. Bathrooms are clean but bring your own soap!

  White Tank Mountain Regional Park

  Excellent semi-civilized experience

  Pros: 

  • Well spaced campsites with excellent views in all directions (mountains and desert one way, iconic saguaros and city lights in the other).
  • Cleanest flush toilets and showers (free) I've ever seen in a campground.
  • Dish washing station
  • Campsites are level, clean, and include a shade over a concrete table, fire ring, and hammock hooks for three.
  • Trails throughout the camp into the greater park but the campgrounds separated from the more public trailheads. Strategically placed benches scattered along trails for coffee drinking.
  • Wildlife: birds, coyotes, reptiles, etc
  • The camp is close to civilization enabling quick visits to other attractions, and an easy drive to spring training baseball games.
  • Camp hosts were responsive. They live on-site year round and treat the camp like it is a home. Very impressed with the team.
  • Firewood available on-site. $8/bundle. Very dense wood that doesn't light quickly when wet but burns for a long time.

  Cons:

  • Struggling to come up with one. Probably hot in the summer. Busier on the weekends due to location inside the White Tank Regional park.

  Canyon Lake Marina & Campground

  Not worth it

  Came with my girlfriend's friend for her b-day. She specifically chose this spot for the Porta-potties and the flushable toilets. The porta-potties were full when we arrived on a Saturday and even after numerous complaints/inquiries they were never emptied even after being told they were supposed to be cleaned on Sunday. As well as the flushable toilets clogged one night so for one night there was no where to go to the bathroom at a campground that is a public area where you can't just pop a squat in the bushes. As well as if you don't want to be around kids, this is NOT the place for you. A lot of kids especially ill-behaved little demons running around like they are entitled to the place. Also at 66-ish dollars a night it is very expensive considering that you may have no amenities they offer to you in the first place.

  DONT WALK RUN!!! A Memory you want to forget!!!

  Not sure where to begin. Every part of it was bad. We pulled in to have a gentleman take us to our RV space in the middle of Park models. Showed us the power supply and left. These areas were so small yet there was an entirely different area with nothing but RVs and well over 50 open spaces that could handled a rig that’s 45 feet like ours. It took us 30 minutes to get in this little hole. even the owners of the park models on all sides said they always do this and they don’t understand why. There’s so many spaces that can accommodate our rigs. Why would they put a large rig in a small spot allowing for hazard. I then went to the front desk the next morning to make sure they got my AAA/Sam’s discount. Because my daughter and my husband were on the reservation, they assured me I would get the credit the next day after my husband and daughter finished filling out paperwork. Once registration paperwork was finished, then said it’s too late you’re not getting your credits because the spot is already paid for. The first time I went in there I overheard the conversation in front of me and the poor treatment they treated this lady. I thought for sure she had it coming. only until I was the next one up and they treated me like garbage and zero customer service skills the way they talk down to me. They challenged everything I said. The friendlier I got the worst they were. The trash is on the opposite end of the resort, where you have to drive to each day to dispose of. Concrete next to our space was in crumbles. When my daughter booked reservations they asked the age and how many people. She has three children and listed that in advance. When she showed up, she was told she would have to leave as children were not welcome. They should’ve caught this in the reservation information weeks in advance.. Then they proceeded to tell her they will let us stay for the weekend, but after that, we will not be welcomed back. These are“their exact words. Customer service!! Sometimes it’s not what you say it’s how you say it. Don’t walk run. Worse experience ever.

  Lost Dutchman State Park Campground

  Lost Dutchman State Park: Desert Playground for the Adventurous Soul!

  Lost Dutchman State Park isn't just a campground, it's an adventure paradise! I'm giving it a flawless 5-star rating because it truly blew me away. Here's why: 

  Off-Roading Nirvana: Dust off your UTVs(side-by-sides) and get ready for a blast! The washboard washes (river beds) offer thrilling rides for off-road enthusiasts, with stunning desert landscapes as your backdrop.️ 

  Hikers' Haven: Lace up your boots and conquer one of the park's diverse hiking trails. From challenging climbs to scenic strolls, there's a path for every level and every desire. 

  Feast for the Eyes: Prepare to be awestruck by the breathtaking scenery. Jagged mountain peaks pierce the azure sky, while the vast desert stretches out before you, creating a postcard-perfect landscape. 

  History Comes Alive: Immerse yourself in the legendary lore of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine. Uncover the park's rich history and explore the stories that have captivated adventurers for centuries. 

  Camper's Dream: The park offers spacious campsites with convenient power and water hookups, making it a comfortable home base for your desert exploration.(Note: sewer hookups are not available.) 

  A Final Note: While you're busy conquering the trails and soaking up the scenery, keep in mind that cell service can be limited in certain areas. This might just be the perfect opportunity to disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature! Lost Dutchman State Park is an unforgettable experience for anyone seeking adventure, breathtaking views, and a touch of history. I can't wait to get back and explore more of this desert gem!

  Houston Mesa Campground

  Close to town, SxS trails, and swimming holes.

  We've camped at Houston Mesa Campground several times and consistently have a fantastic experience. Here's why we give it 5 stars: 

  Amazing Staff: The camp hosts are incredibly friendly and helpful, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. 

  Spacious Sites: We love the ample space at each campsite, allowing us to park comfortably and spread out for a relaxing stay. Our kids adore playing in the dirt and exploring the trees. 

  Nature's Playground: The campground's proximity to swimming holes, hiking trails, and the charming town of Payson provides endless opportunities for exploration and adventure. Serene Setting: The abundance of trees creates a peaceful and shady environment, perfect for escaping the Arizona sun. 

  Clean Facilities: The bathrooms are well-maintained and clean, ensuring a comfortable stay. 

  Dry Camping Friendly: We appreciate the ability to dry camp at Houston Mesa, making it a budget-friendly option. 

  Heads Up: While Verizon service isn't optimal, it's manageable. Additionally, campsites near the freeway can experience some road noise. However, the convenience of having Home Depot and Walmart nearby outweighs these minor drawbacks. Overall, Houston Mesa Campground is a fantastic choice for families and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a comfortable and scenic camping experience. We highly recommend it and will definitely be back soon!

  Roosevelt Lake Overlook

  Previous reviews inaccurate

  Stunning views and worth the drive but NOT on the water or paved all the way up. The last 10 miles is a very windy road and the last mile is on a very rough forest road, high clearance required! There are some spots along 288 if you're rig won't make it the last mile.
