Carizzo Boat-In Campground — Picacho State Recreation Area

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Fishing and OHV riding are the main draws at Carizzo Boat-In Campground, which sits along the Colorado River within Picacho State Recreation Area and includes a boat launch ramp for water access. The road in is long and rough, and the drive-in option does not make the approach easy. Amenities are basic: toilets, picnic tables, and trash service. Campers wanting a more developed alternative can consider the Picacho State Recreation Area Campground, located 3.3 miles east.

Not worth the trek.

The road into this campsite is long and rugged. Not worth the hassle in my honest opinion. While it does have river access with a launch ramp, the on site facility workers are less than friendly. Everyone had a terrible attitude which really was a bummer. Will never come back.
