    Amazing place

    The campgrounds are surrounded by coyote song throughout the night. Hardly any light pollution and the hosts are incredible!!! Sinks with drinkable water. Showers. They provide a tote full of goodies like plates and what not. There's a pen type area for the dogs to play in. And Tim and Victoria are so sweet!!! Highly recommend.

    Beautiful views from the remote wilderness

    I have lived here for 10 months now, and love the place. Like any campground, there are malcontents that will complain about little things like not being pampered or catered to. The reality is that this is a relatively remote place where you absolutely must be self-sufficient to a large degree. There has not been full-time management until recently, but the new management team are very attentive and reasonable. Since the ranch has been under new management many of the so-called bad influences have left. If you love natural beauty, privacy, and solitude, and are willing to make some sacrifices of comfort, this is the perfect place.

    Very disorganized and people and volunteers there aren't very nice

     Upon entering it was dirty and restrooms not clean. I never received info they claimed was sent, so went on a hunch. It was dirty, dogs off leash and poop everywhere. Trash disposal area was unclean attracting insects and bugs and wildlife. People living there were not nice or clean. Staff was not friendly either. We decided to leave early. Found place 20 miles away that is wonderful by comparison. Advise trying elsewhere.

    Wolf's in sheep's clothing, Beware

    Place is a nightmare. Have police report from requiring police to escort due to harassment from disturbed owners. Dog was bitten by pit bull, owner did nothing but blame me and call me mentally ill. Very sick thing. Horrible road, brown water and a homeless camp setting. Go for a drive through first. And rules aren't followed. Owners Michelle and Jim even harassed the police officer, which caused me to make multiple trips to Colorado to leave. I walked away from a home, ATV and 5th wheel just to get away from these people. It's like hell on earth with demonic people.... Good luck should you go, you'll need it. Owner also posted a response comment with lies calling me names etc. These are sick evil people who will harm you, caution. Check police report from April 17th with sheriff dept.

    Dirty wolf's in sheep's clothing

     Beware, it's foul in every way. People 55 plus still drugging and drinking. Dog poop all over, dogs not following rules and many pit bulls (my dog bite by pit bull) owner refused to help causing my move by police escort. It's a complete nightmare you'll become trapped in.. many better places close by. Picture is of my dog after going to vet in Colorado for dog bite. Owner uses the attackers owner to baby sit his dogs, so he defended her! Imagine that. Owner harassing caused police escort to move, he harassed cop too. A very sick and sad pathetic place... Truth stings sometimes.. sorry to be negative, but if it saves kind folks time and money I'm okay with it.

    Lakeside Campground

    Great campground located on a lake. It's offers all the standard campground amenities. I do really like the birdwatching area outside the visitor center. There's also a small beach you can swim at.

    4th time visiting favorite place!

    This campground sits among tall trees and offers stunning views of the surroundings. It's great for people who love nature. The restrooms are clean and convenient, and there are cozy fireplaces to keep warm. Whether you're enjoying the fire or admiring the scenery, it's a peaceful place to relax outdoors with your family and friends, fires are not allowed year round so you might what to visit the website for fire restrictions. Great hikes nearby perfect for bird watchers.

    Elephant head trail head

    We Camped here for two nights with a nice view of elephant head. It is an open range so there are cows walking around. There are quite a few camping spots but had all of them filled by the time we made camp on Friday afternoon. One of the really downsides was we had two skunks walk through our site early Saturday morning and one did spray our 10 months old puppy.

    Older Facilities

    Good campground for fishermen and bird watchers. There is also some hiking available.

    Pros - well maintained facilities but a little old. Hot showers and clean bathrooms. Camping next to the lake. The campground has a visitor center and camp store.

    Cons - campsites are very close with limited privacy.

    Harshaw Road Dispersed Camping - San Rafael Canyon

    Beautiful and don’t leave your stuff unattended.

    Awesome spots along the roads in this area. We had to leave our very private site one day and left a few things behind — sadly it was all gone when we came back. Lesson learned, but a big bummer.

    Oliver’s Truck Camping Experience

    I enjoyed this camp site overall. It was only 10 minutes away from Patagonia and it had lots of dry firewood. The downside is there is no water source and also road noise. I was there Friday night through Monday morning and heard road noice throughout the night except for Sunday night.

    I would recommend exploring above where the pin is because there is more free dispersed camping that will be quieter and more remote.

    Very busy, lots of families with kids, good location for exploring the area

    We stayed here once in March of 2020. Must have Spring Break - tons of families, tons of kids, dogs and a few old timers. There's a couple short hikes from the campground that were OK. Lots of birds, saw a couple javelinas. 

    There's some boat rentals and a small visitor center/general store. We had water and electric at our site. Sites can be pretty close together with boundaries undefined. Shore of the lake difficult to get to in places because of thick vegetation. East CG is maybe a little less busy than the west.

    Lots of places to explore nearby - Tubac, Madera Canyon, the Town of Patagonia, Ramsey Canyon near Sierra Vista, which is a good place to resupply and other more far flung places like Tombstone.

    It was to have a lake by the campground which is a little unusual in Arizona. The land is different than the Sonoran desert of Tucson but still cool. We probably wouldn't go back unless it was offseason.

    Peaceful and Serene

    Large desert landscaped site, neat bbq area, swinging bench. I really loved this place- the owner was super nice . It is apparent they take pride in their land and they have fixed it up nicely.

    Favorite place!

    This is my favorite campground close to me great views, good place to take your family, drinking water, food storage, fires are permites in the pits depending on fire danger usually only permitted during winter months. Great hikes nearby still haven’t tried road biking hope to get to it soon.

    Awesome park with plenty to do, hiking and boating. Guided hike and bird walks along with boat tours. They do need to heat the bathroom when it’s really cold. Also need to fix showers so you don’t have to keep pressing the button every two minutes

    Quiet Christmas Stay

    Decided to try this campground as last minute Christmas plans. Stayed here for three nights. Very quiet during our stay. We left our Weboost at home but where able to get signal with our Verizon hotspot in the back window of our rig. If you have a rig over 35’ make sure you research the site before booking. We had site 3 which is listed as 60’ long. It is very long but it is stair stepped. The only level and usable space is in the middle. Our Super C is 40’ and the wheel base just fit and we we able to level and still put slides out. If we still had our fifth wheel we would have struggled unhitching and hitching.

    Isolated dispersed camping nice sites

    We camped in April before it was too hot. Lots of well marked campsites with fire pits and room for pull through. Lots of large spaces for large campers. No shade. Good areas for birding. Roads well maintained. Surprisingly little campers here on a Saturday. Beautiful Mountain Views. There is a visitor center but it was closed on the day that we were there.
