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.

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

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.

A pleasant stay.

We stayed here for a week. $150 for a week, or $30 a night. 24 hour security is provided. Staff was very friendly and they are very strict on campground policies. The only little hassle was they have a lot of weekend shows going on and they change the line of travel for getting in and out of the facility. Other than that it was a very good stay and we would stay here again.
