Lost Dutchman State Park Campground and Mesa-Apache Junction KOA offer elevated camping experiences with comfortable glamping accommodations at the foot of the Superstition Mountains. Both locations feature safari-style glamping tents and cabin options that provide more luxurious alternatives to traditional camping. The KOA property includes glamping units with resort-style amenities including electricity, comfortable beds with linens, and climate control systems. Lost Dutchman's glamping accommodations provide spectacular mountain views from private decks, while the property maintains clean facilities with hot showers. The sites at both locations offer fire rings, picnic tables, and easy access to hiking trails. "The views are spectacular, quiet and clean. Trails are well maintained," noted one visitor about the Lost Dutchman glamping experience.
The glamping sites provide convenient access to notable attractions including Goldfield Ghost Town just down the road from Lost Dutchman, where visitors can enjoy gift shops, dining options, train rides and historic mine tours. Safari tents at both locations serve as perfect base camps for exploring Tonto National Forest and the surrounding Superstition wilderness area. Several hiking trails originate directly from the glamping properties, with the Treasure Loop Trail being particularly popular for its moderate difficulty and rewarding views. Canvas accommodations remain comfortable even during temperature fluctuations, with electricity available for climate control. According to a camper, "We arrived after hours, but staff still on site saw me grab my check-in materials. He led me to my site in his golf cart, helped us get backed in and all settled for the night." Reservations are recommended for all glamping units, especially during peak season.
