Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Wittmann, AZ

535 Reviews

White Tank Mountain Regional Park accommodates pets at all campsites with both RV and tent camping options. The campground features clean facilities, level sites, and dedicated hiking trails where leashed dogs are welcome. Several sites offer electric hookups and water, with a central restroom facility that includes free showers. Trails throughout the park allow dogs on leash, though owners should watch for loose cholla cactus balls that can attach to pets' paws as mentioned by campers who have experienced this issue firsthand.

North Castle Hot Springs Road Camp and Maddock Road Dispersed camping areas provide free-form camping options for travelers with pets. These Arizona State Trust Land sites require permits ($16 online) but offer spacious, flat areas ideal for RVs and tents. The dispersed camping areas have minimal amenities with no water, toilets, or hookups, requiring campers to pack in all supplies for themselves and their pets. Wildlife encounters and varying terrain make these locations suitable for pets that handle off-grid camping well. The White Tank Mountain area offers excellent off-roading opportunities nearby, making it popular for visitors with dogs who enjoy outdoor adventures.

    Leaf Verde RV Resort

    Awkward and crammed Face to face sites

    If you’re a social butterfly and don’t have dogs, this place could work. The sites are really crammed in and on top of that, your door is face to face with your neighbor which makes it so awkward to do anything outside when you don’t want to talk to an overly chatty neighbor. Or if you or your neighbors have unfriendly dogs they can’t be out at the same time. Facilities are decent, same with pool. Adequate dog parks but nowhere for dogs to pee near sites other than gravel.

    Leaf Verde RV Resort

    Nice campground close to Phoenix

    Leaf Verde is in Buckeye, AZ which is only 30 minutes from Phoenix. The pool is refreshing and if you aren’t into swimming there is a pool table, dog park and shuffle board to keep you busy. The sites are gravel and close together but nice.

    Leaf Verde RV Resort

    Clean RV park

    Easy to get to from the 10 freeway, good sized RV park w decent sized sites, park is kept clean, pool, Pickleball courts, cornhole area, dog park, huge laundry room, and the people are nice. Regular pull through spots are kind of like buddy spots as your doors face each other. Back in and deluxe sites are decent sized. Roadways are asphalt and large enough to maneuver bigger rigs through. All sites are full hook up w 30 & 50 amp electrical.

    North Ranch

    Good for One Night

    North Ranch is an Escapees RV park with large gravel lot and closely spaced sites. Full hook up with only 30 amp available. There is also another area for dry camping. This is a good place if just passing through and need to do some laundry and dump and fill and take a nice long shower. The sites are fairly close as most RV parks are, clean flat gravel sites. Nothing special but nothing much to complain about either.

    Road noise was constant as was ATV use as many of the campers had them. Covid restrictions in place and a mask is required.

    Amenities: 

    2 laundry areas with washer dryers for$1.25/each open 24/7 

    Dog walk and fenced in dog park near the main road 

    Showers Cactus garden walking area- very beautiful and well care for 

    Propane on site 

    Recycling bin- mixed recycling accepted 

    Garbage dumpster 

    Dump station(was closed when we were there) 

    Exercise room 

    Back in sites are$23 for escapee members and$28 for non members. Pull through sites are a few dollars more. 

    Weak Verizon and AT&T with occasional streaming if you don’t mind waiting for buffering.

    Old Airstrip Camping & Staging Area

    Cactus Forest!

    Free. Wide open space, an abandoned air strip. Really cool cactus variations all around, you can hear coyotes. And there are wild burros in the area you can def hear them and during the week it's likely you will see them! It is popular for ATVs and such, so it can get a bit noisy, and it apparently gets pretty packed over the weekend. But empty during the week. About 30 minutes away from town. Though there are a few paid campsites in the area. Not sure what the stay limit is, probably 14 days. All the cacti so close is a bit hazardous for pets and small children, my dog already got spines in her paws.

    White Tank Mountain Regional Park

    Couple nights while visiting area

    We stayed at the Willow Campground for two nights while visiting family and friends in the Surprise area. Hiked the Waterfall and Black Loop Trail for a little exercise as well. Didn’t do any others as our dog had an encounter with a stray cholla ball. This would be the only concern for those traveling with pets. There are quite a few lose even along trails. Other than that the facilities are clean and well kept. Fresh water and showers are available.

    Mesa Gardens RV Park

    May 2025

    Great campground centerally located to Phoenix and Scottsdale. Was only planning to stay 2 nights but ended up extending my stay. Full hookups and laundry/showers in house. Also have a cute patio area to hangout as well as a clubhouse with WIFI. RV park backs up to a park with a coded gate so easy access to playground/big grass area for dogs. Park is fully fenced with gate. Very clean and well kept.

    I booked online at like 4:30ish (their office closes at 5). The gate codes for entry and club house were in the confirmation email as well as the manager called me at like 5 til to confirm I had codes and everything I needed to get it - so appreciated! Manager was also very friendly also when I asked for recs and about extending my stay. Have weekly and monthly rates on top of nightly ones. Would come back.

    Destiny Phoenix RV Resorts

    Very neat with orange trees

    Staff very helpful when we came to help us park, but office & store were closed at 3pm on a Saturday. Couldnt get supplies or change for laundry.

    Nice & quiet. All paved. 3 dog pens side by side to unleash pet for pottying and a long dog run I another area with toys & balls.

    1/2 the Laundry machines did not work with card. Had choice of 8 quarters per load or card. I had plenty of cash if they’d had a change machine, but they didn’t & it was frustrating that 1/2 the machines didn’t work with card. Everything else was nice. Expensive but we expected that. $92-95 for pull thru full hook-up.

    Store closed at 3 on Sat & closed Sun.
