  Rancho del Nido

  Miles and mils of Silence

  Kim & Dan are wonderful hosts. The property is on the side of a slope with expansive views. Spotlessly clean porta potty. Safe. Peaceful. Horses and cows. I booked 2 nights and as soon as I set up camp I booked two more. So glad I did. Great location. Delicious well water.

  Colossal Cave Mountain Park

  Great spot just off Arizon Trail

  Nice spot just off the AZT, stayed while on a bike trip on the trail. Camped in the La Selvilla section in the back of the canyon. Plenty of room and spots are not too tight and most had shade trees. All had flat tent pad, table and fire ring. There is a group spot with a pavilion that has running water, and pit toilets. Verizon was one bar, got a few calls out but text would not work. They do lock the gate at 4:00, so once in, you are there for the night. Only one other group when we were there. Would go back for sure.

  Reddington Pass Dispersed

  Rough Road, Off Grid

  I’ve camped at Redington Pass a few times throughout the years. It’s a fun trail if you like a challenge of off roading. I wouldn’t recommend larger trailers or RVs to travel too far up the trail, we’ve seen them get stuck trying to turn around. The road is rough but if you don’t mind driving slow over the holes and bumps then no big deal.

  Easy to find, follow Tanque Verde Rd all the way East until it turns into Redington Road, this then leads to a dirt road with TONS of dispersed camping pull offs with established fire rings. The further east you travel on the pass the less people you have to camp next to. The camping sites closer to the entrance get packed on the weekends.

  The further you go you’ll run out of service, no bathrooms, no water hook ups, nothing, just dispersed wild camping!

  Tombstone RV & Campground

  Close site to Tombstone

  Quiet park, level and clean gravel sites. About 5 minutes from the town of Tombstone. It’s was getting down to freezing temperatures in November briefly over night. You can rent an outdoor fireplace and buy firewood on site too.

  Reddington Pass Dispersed

  Camping at reddington pass

  Great spot to go camping! The trail into the campground was great, you will need a 4x4 in certain spots, but mostly it’s a smooth ride. At night the view of the stars was beautiful since there was hardly any light pollution. 10/10 recommended

  Steer Clear

  We called and made reservations to stay here for a few weeks and when we arrived we were turned away because we were young, and have two kids, and have 2 dogs. . . And because our camper is too big at 29 ft all of which they knew before we arrived. So now we are sitting at a gas station trying to figure out where to go. Also, I’m not assuming that was the reason, that’s the actual reason we were turned away.

  Amazing, beautiful, good price

  Loved this camp site. You have to go into the cave gift shop to pay. They do close gates at 4. Was only 10$ for a tent spot.

  Pima County Fairgrounds RV Park

  Ok for short stay.

  It's a no-frills campground. Basically it looks like a huge drive-in theater for RV's; without the movie. There are a few sections of this campground that have trees and nicer sites, but not everyone gets a tree site. In the open areas you don't want to put out your awning if you want to keep it. Don't bring the kids, not even a playground. However, what it lacks in frills it makes up in being neat and clean. Roads, laundry, bathrooms and park areas are well maintained. There is also a very nice desert nature trail with information signs about the vegetation. We were here for two hot weeks.

  Triangle T Guest Ranch

  Amazing Authentic Southwest Campsite

  This little piece of I-10 is a wonderful little spot. We arrived close to sunset and found a perfect spot to camp amongst the rocks. The on-site saloon with the chili pepper lights, original mural, and massive bolder behind the bar will make you wonder why this place is not more packed.

  10/10 would stay again!

  Rancho del Nido

  It is so quiet and beautiful

  This campground with water and electric was quiet and beautiful. There were horse trails all around and you can bring your horses too. Dog friendly, and the owners were available if needed.

  Come for the stars,if nothing else.

  Reddington Pass Dispersed

  Sleep off the road in cactus or crawl into the mountains to tuck yourself in

  40 mile scenic drive on a 4x4 road, dispersed camping along the way. Extremely popular view to park off the road in the saguaros. But I’d recommend cactus forest north of Tucson in blm land if you want that. Farther in you hit the mountains. We stayed off an off roading rock crawler trail. Def the path less taken. Super quiet and relaxing.

  Remote, cold, beautiful

  Bumpy road washed out farther up but the dispersed area was fine. Pretty cold and rugged in Jan but really gorgeous. Creek runs near road.

  Pima County Fairgrounds RV Park

  Great park at a great value

  Like 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

  Rock Bluff Group Site

  Nice but no cell service!

  We stayed at the rock bluff for individual campers though. $20/night. Was a nice area but had no cell service or internet which is super important to us. There are vault toilets near by and each campsite has a fire pit and picnic table. We saw deer and blue birds during our stay. There is a little store at the day use area. They carry a variety of items from fishing gear to essentials you may have forgotten, extra propane bottles, wood, canned goods, etc. you have to hike down to the lake, which is kind of steep and rocky. I saw the hosts checking trash and cleaning up toilet areas regularly.

  Base for visiting Tucson

  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.

  Fantastic hosts, views, and price

  Our hosts were extremely hospitable and accommodating. They worked around our schedule and made sure we were comfortable. They gave us numerous recommendations for local cuisine and sightseeing. The camp is peaceful and has fantastic views with horses, a fire pit, and hiking trails. We hope to return soon.

  Cochise Stronghold Campground

  What a surprise

  There are a lot of small campsites all grouped together in the middle of the camping area, but me and the guys picked site 18, which has a lot of flat area for several tents, and has a much more relaxed vibe. Campus nestled right against some beautiful granite features, and well covered by evergreen oaks. Easy access to hiking and adventuring in the granite boulder area. There was no drinking water when we were there late September, but there are several spigots around camp. Maybe they turn it on at some point. We really enjoyed this space

  Triangle T Guest Ranch

  Pretty cool campground

  The Triangle T Ranch is a neat experience. It has history and character all around. Even though it's only a quarter mile from the 10, the noise is very minimal.

  We showed up while they were hosting a wedding there. We were never greated or shown any hospitality because of that but we're experienced enough to be self sufficient. We originally reserved an electric only spot #1. We quickly realized our spot (as well as #s 2 & 3) were actually the corner of the parking spaces for the wedding guests. A quick text with the camp hosts and we were relocated to a full rv hookup spot. MUCH BETTER all around. If you make a reservation, choose either full rv #3 or #4. These spots back up to a huge boulder and offer wind blocking and shade for your rig or tent. Made the experience perfect.

  The missus and I hiked around the horse trails they have and loved the views. The saloon was reserved by the wedding party but we crashed it anyways. The ladies running the saloon were fantastic. Good times.
