Best Campgrounds near Roosevelt, AZ

929 Reviews

Roosevelt, Arizona draws campers with several camping options nearby. Usery Mountain Regional Park has good-sized sites with water and power hookups that work well for RVs. You can easily reach city services from the park, and there are mountain bike trails to ride. Lost Dutchman State Park Campground offers clean sites with both electric and non-electric spots. It sits right in the Superstition Mountains with great views and hiking trails all around. Burnt Corral Campground on Apache Lake gives you a more basic camping experience with nice views of the water. Just know the roads getting there are narrow and winding. You'll likely see wildlife like javelinas and coyotes in these areas, so store your food properly. The surrounding Sonoran Desert has plants and animals you won't find many other places. If you like fishing, the Colorado River isn't far away and has some good spots. The Grand Canyon is close enough for a day trip if you want to see it. Fall and spring are the best times to camp here since summer gets really hot. Check if there are fire bans before you go, and always bring extra water. Roosevelt has camping that works whether you want modern amenities or something more rustic.
