Best Campgrounds near San Tan Valley, AZ

Loved this campsite! The cactuses and shrubs provided enough privacy between each site for it to feel like it was just us out there, and shielded us from the road as well. Absolutely beautiful landscape to walk around with Saguaros and Chollas everywhere. Watch out for cactus pieces on the ground when you drive in!

Nice place to escape with kids, let them run wild and enjoy the views and isolation.

Very nice and quiet place to stay for an extended time.

I had a very pleasant week while van camping at this location. Bathrooms and campsite are clean, pool and spa are nice.

Stopped just for the night, drove in about 2 miles. Road was a nice gravel with no ruts. Plenty of spots to choose.

I got in after dark and it was very difficult to find my reserved spot. The site markers are so small that you can’t read them from your car unless it’s daylight. There’s a train that goes by at least five times a day and night and a freeway just a few blocks away. So it’s not super quiet, however, the noise hasn’t really bothered me either.

Not fancy, resort roads & parking are tight, many lifers here. Very organized campground by residents., EXTREMELY FRIENDLY campground like a neighborhood. nice pickleball and shuffleboard courts. Pool, hottub(not very hot), laundry, weightroom, ballroom with weekly music & dance, etc...

This KOA is a good place for families and it has a lot of amenities. The sites are close together and not private unless you have a patio site for an extra cost. The sites by the playground and clubhouse area are noisy during the day with children playing as children do. There is road noise and frequent trains which didn't bother me. There is also a neighboring horse ranch which had loud music for a while. This park is well-maintained, clean, friendly, and safe, but it can be noisy. It is also very busy and the wifi is very slow and unreliable. Only 15 minutes from Picacho Peak State Park. If you're looking for a quiet place I would not recommend it. If you have children and enjoy a neighborhood/community atmosphere it's a great place to be. The staff does a good job of driving around and maintaining the grounds. They also escort you to your site.

We were dry /primitive campers saving our coins here and there camping! This was an easy quick $10 but I do recommend getting there before closing hrs. As you have to call the camp host to let you in. There is no designated camp zones it is a very dry area ofcourse being in the middle of Arizona. But we were prepared with sleeping pads and tent tarps for comfort. But for 10 bucks you can’t beat that! There was an animal 4H fair of some sort going on which we enjoyed even through all our sleep! The animals did seem to “sleep with us!” There is showers and easy convience to I-10/I20? Also Walmart/standard fast food defiantly more RV friendly but with the right gear you should be fine! I love supporting places like this over the hotel industry

This was a great spot out in the Sonoran desert . Tons of land to explore, I drove in about five miles and had no trouble finding a level spot . Beautiful saguora cactus and prickly pear, barrel, etc. I plan on hitting this spot again o my way back west. Highly recommend.

Nice location with dispersed camping options. When we were setting up a man came up & warned us that it was a popular spot for Nudists. He was not wrong. Be prepared to run into some interesting people.

We stayed a couple of nights while visiting family and friends in the area. Gave us a chance to refill water and propane, take some long hot showers and generally recharge before heading back out on the road. Great facilities - very clean and friendly staff.

Not a fan. Won’t be back with my trailer.

We chose to keep going until we hit actual BLM land, maybe one mile from the highway. The views were phenomenal and very little noise. The moon and stars were beautiful too.

It looked like there was BLM land on the North side of I8, which we’ll check out the next time we pass through here.

Even though the road is a little bumpy, any rig and trailer can make it!
