  Desert Trails RV Park - Adult-only Resort

  Nice 40+ Campground

  This is a nice 40+ campground right on the edge of Saguaro National Park. The sites are gravel with full hook ups. I had plenty of room to maneuver my 19’ travel trailer. They have planned activities -at least in the winter- which is nice to see. There seem to be a lot of long term guests here and they are very social with each other.

  Prince of Tucson RV Park

  Amazing

  This is our new home for the next two years! Visited a few RV Parks in Tucson after accepting a job at the VA here and I must say we feel in love when we stayed here! The staff is friendly, the facilities are clean, and the long term residents are welcoming.

  Prince of Tucson RV Park

  Mobile home park with RV slots

  If you are looking for a traditional campground, this is not it. It's really a long -term RV park with plenty of park model campers. It does have nice bathhouses and exceptional laundry and pool, but you won't be roasting marshmallows on your 8 by 10 concrete slab next to your asphalt driveway. If you need a place to park your camper while exploring Tuscon, then it should work out.

  Davis Monthan AFB FamCamp- Boneyard Vista

  Busy- Restricted Access

  The Fam Camp on DMAFB is one of the best fam camps offered by the USAF. This site gets very busy during the winter or special events (the air shows). People often rent these spots for long term use as well.

  You must have base access in order to stay at this site.

  The sites are spacious and offer full hookups. There is a dump station, bathrooms and and laundry on site.

  The base also offers a commissary and BX with a food court.

  Valley of the Sun Mobile Home & RV Park

  Close to freeway RV Park

  This 55 and up RV park is just off the freeway and boasts 70 RV sites, as well as permanent mobile home sites. Just outside of Tucson, you are close to great food, hiking, mild winter weather, and the beauty of the desert. R&R pizza is nearby and a local favorite. Good Sam’s RV park

  Quail Ridge RV Resort

  Clean but lots of permanent & semi-permanent

  This is a very large RV. “Resort” just off Hwy 90 north of Huachuca City AZ. It’s about 20 minutes to Sierra Vista, and 30 minutes to Tombstone. Wide streets for easy maneuvering even larger RVs. 30/50 amp, water, electricity, and sewer. Several bathroom/showers, laundry, WiFi. Good sized dog run. Many of the sites look like they are permanent or semi-permanent! I saw some for sale signs on lots, do you may be able to purchase a spot here.

  Catalina State Park Campground

  Nice facility, friendly camp hosts and nearby hiking trails

  Nice RV hookups but great tent sites as well. Desert vegetation so don't count on much shade. Best in the fall or spring. Summer is Hot!

  Benson KOA

  Under renovation soon

  This was just a quick one night stop on a road trip for us. It did the trick just fine but the campground was very bare with rows for RV hookups. The sites were very close. There were small young trees but not big enough for shade. To be fair, the night we stayed was the last night this KOA was open before closing for renovations so when they open, might be an improvement! All in all, good for a quick stop.

  A-Bar-A RV Park & Storage Facility - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

  No thrills, great value

  This is a great campground for RV hookup. If you’re looking for a great value this is the place. Anne takes a little to get used to, but has a huge heart and takes care of her tenants. I fully recommend this this site.

  Apache Mobile Park

  Shabby sweet

  This was a great spot for us as an overnight to refresh on the way to Tombstone. The park is mostly permanent / long term residents, and some of the sites are pretty run down and shabby looking, but it has almost everything we need.  It's advertised as 55+ but that requirement doesn't apply to overnighters.

  It has a clean laundry room, showers, club house with board games and billiards, wifi, and bulk propane.  Really large book & DVD library in the office.  Trash cans throughout facility, but no recycling bins. Good cell reception.

  There is a clothing donation drop-off that benefits Southern Arizona Children's Advocacy Center near the entrance, and in the office there is a drop off for your old eyeglasses, hearing aid batteries, and cell phones run by the Lions Club.  In the clubhouse there was a food pantry, take what you need, donate what you can.

  Every single person we ran into was so, so friendly, warm, and welcoming, even though we were just passing through.

  We were warned by our friendly neighbor about javelinas running through the campground at night, and we saw plenty of their hoof prints in the sand, but sadly we didn't see any ourselves.  Apparently they've been getting bolder though so if you see any keep your distance.

  There were signs on the office windows about covid safety, but not one person was wearing a mask, indoors or out.

  Office is only open 9-12pm Mon - Sat but you can check yourself in if you arrive when they are closed.

  They accept Passport America and Good Sam discounts. We paid $10 for a 30 amp site with Passport America (half off).

  Rincon Country West RV Resort

  Tucson’s Finest RV Resort

  Rincon West RV Resort in Tucson has all the amenities you could dream up. Crystal clear heated pool and two hot tubs, billiards room, two small gyms, lots of showers and restrooms, even classes. Some live here all year in park models, others spend the winter in RV’s. Overnight stays and longer are no problem. Seems to be a designated area for RV’s on a short term basis, mixed in with longer stayers. Spotless, level pads, ample parking. Tennis and pickle ball courts, shuffleboard, etc... Mail room on-site.

  Kartchner Caverns State Park Campground

  International Dark Sky Park

  We pulled in after dark and were gone by morning! We wanted somewhere to see the stars! It looked like a super clean park with paved roads, plenty of RV hookups and bath/shower house. We did tent camp. I wish we could have stayed longer to see the caverns, but this was just a pit stop on our road trip!

  Tombstone Dry Camping RV Park - Temporarily Closed

  A Big Empty Dirt Lot

  There is an envelope drop to pay for staying here and they call this place The Shoot Out Arena RV Park Overnight Camping. I hope I am reviewing the right place here. It is basically just a big empty dirt lot. Like the Wild West, you just park anywhere you want. There are zero services - I mean zero. Not even a garbage can. But man - did we love it here. We arrived on a Monday and we’re going to stay for 3 days. We had so much fun and it was central to go see so many things, that we added 4 more days here. Then we added another day. A total of nine days in all. You must be self sufficient and have tanks big enough for your length of stay. We had ATT service. Although there were no rules posted, we shut down our generator at a decent hour. Everyone else was courteous as well. While we were here, They had the April Fools Donkey Dash, and it ran right by our fifth wheel. I do believe they will be making changes here in the near future and adding full hook ups. That’s too bad because it is so affordable at $10 per night. Driving Tip: GPS will take you to fourth street and try to run you through the shootout. Take 3rd street and it will lead you right down to the lot. It is behind the shootout arena.

  Casino Del Sol

  Great stop!

  Our first time taking an RV to a casino and LOVED that they had a rv park with full hookups. They offered to shuttle us to the casino and they did not have anyone available to shuttle us back so we walked but it wasn’t too far. While the slots were noticeably tighter than usual being an Indian reservation, we still had a nice time. DoorDash even found us so that’s a plus.

  Gilbert Ray Campground

  Convenient Desert & City Location

  Gilbert Ray is an extremely affordable campground located in Saguaro National Park. It doesn't have showers but it does have rv hookups and a bathroom with hot water dish wash stations.

  It is located right next to Tucson AZ but features lots of hiking options in the national park. The best of both worlds. It has very helpful campground hosts and a tourist draw.. old west Hollywoodmovie sets.

  I really like this safe quiet and convenient option as a single female traveler

  Pato Blanco Lakes RV Resort

  Nice 55+ Campground

  Looking for a nice 55+ campground near Benson, Arizona and Tombstone? This is a friendly and clean RV resort near it all. And, there are even lakes! They have pretty lakes stocked with fish for catch and release fishing. It is a true gem to find lakefront sites in the desert! The sites are back-in and pull-through with 50 amp FHU. Each site is gravel with a patio and picnic table. There are lots of desert trails to walk your dogs around the perimeter. All of this and really close to historic downtown Benson.👍🏻😊

  Great Place to Stay

  There is a good mix of long term residents and travelers here. Good, clean safe place to stay with our son and two dogs. My son LOVED the swimming pool. Not a fancy resort, but a very kind, homey environment. I would stay here again.

  Butterfield RV Resort and Observatory

  very nice and clean place to enjoy

  This rv resort is a very well kept one and in an excellent condition. The resort is close to the freeway and historic sites as well. The nightly fee is reasonable and staff members are friendly/responsive. Due to Covid-19 restrictions I chose not to use all options available to guests such as pool, laundry, etc. but all facilities seem very clean.

  Only thing I did not appreciate was the fact that this place charged the hotel tax of about 10%, but for a short stay I guess it was ok. Not sure if the hotel tax is Tuscon area specific.

  Gilbert Ray Campground

  Love this place!!!

  This was the second time my husband and I have stayed here. We first tent camped here in September 2020, it wasn’t busy and there were maybe 3 other people in the whole camp. When we were traveling this past time though Arizona we stopped again because we loved it so much last time. This trip we were in our RV and it was during busy season, but we still loved it just as much! You can’t beat the views and it was only $20/night for full hook ups! We will be back!

  El Pais Motel & Campgrounds

  Eclectic!

  If you have to stay in an RV park, this is the one to stay in. It is absolutely not your typical RV park that feels like a parking lot with rows of RVs all side by side. This is a combo of an old timey motel, vintage trailers that are rented out on air bnb, a cool hangout area and pool with music playing and they have movies on some nights on the big screen in the pool area, and a couple of FHU(30 amp only) RV spots(for$35/night) Also saw camper vans there too. It’s right off the road so there are road noises, as well as noise from neighboring businesses and trains. 

  The owner Toni and her daughter have put so much time and energy into building this place, and their love of all things vintage shows. Toni will tell you the history of the trailers and busses on site, including a 1970’s rock n roll tour bus and a trailer that the Dead are said to have used for travel while on tour. Vintage electric car and a car called Wedge and looks as the name implies. There is one washer and one dryer available for use, as well as a bathtub/shower, kitchen, and a hangout room with TV, music, and a free table arcade game with multiple 80s video games to choose from.

  The motel rooms are available for rent as well, though when we stayed there in our RV all the rooms were occupied by a film crew and the artist in residence. We asked about tent sites and the owner seemed willing to work with guests on that, though we didn’t see a good spot where tents would go.

  There is also a chicken coop and a small garden! You may get lucky and get some fresh eggs in the morning.

  Caballo Loco Ranch and RV Park

  RV locos in the boonies!

  Interesting RV park in some rugged desert foothills. Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly spots. Some are full hookups, some are dry camping. Community center, trash dumpsters, washroom showers, central fresh water spigots for the dry campers. Seems to be an interesting community of folks that return year after year. Staff was very friendly even to those that showed up without a reservation or prior notice. They found us a spot for a couple nites per our needs. Cell signal is poor for TMobile and Verizon, slightly better with ATT. RV area is rolling ridges and steep sections, this is not a flat RV park. The access road from paved hwy was 7.9 miles of washboard sandy dusty dirt so be warned. Additional thoughts are that the short-term options are limited, there is a very large ranch generator that runs 6am to 10 pm every day, and did I mention the 8 mi of dusty washboard sandy road makes quick trips to town uninviting. Hence the 4 stars.

  Cactus Country RV Park - 55+

  Not bad but…

  Convenient location just off I-10. Had some great sunsets. Park facilities are clean but a little run down. It’s more of a mobile home park and RV park combined. Some permanent stationary mobile homes and some RV spots with lots of yard stuff that makes it look somewhat junky. Pull through sites are very close together but level enough with gravel and a patio pad with table and fire pit. Dog park is all dirt but large with fresh water. Laundry is $1.75 for a large load both washing and drying. Propane fill available. Workout room was minimal but kept cool. Cactus garden was nice.

  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.
