Pistol Hill near Colossal Cave

Just over a mile from Colossal Cave Mountain Park, Pistol Hill provides dispersed camping on open desert terrain east of Tucson. This undeveloped site requires campers to bring all water, waste disposal, and amenities.

The area features established hiking and biking trails that connect to the broader Rincon Mountain foothills network. Campers typically access the site via dirt roads that may require high-clearance vehicles depending on recent weather conditions. El Bosquecito sits nearby for those preferring developed facilities.
