Lost Dutchman State Park Campground

Easy access via paved roads and paved pads. Raked decomposed granite around picnic table and fire pit. Free showers. Clean restrooms. Scenic views of mountains. Nice sunset. Marked hiking trails.

We stopped here on a short trip just to experience the Arizona high country.

Amazing views!  

A little warmer than we're used to, but that was not unexpected.

Stayed Feb 2026. Second time camping here. This section sites 75-104 is newer, electric & water. No bathrooms or showers must drive or walk 1/4 mile away. Sites are okay but closer than the rest of the campgrounds.

Showers & bathrooms clean. Dump station working. Very friendly helpful staff.

This campground sells out quickly. I try to make reservations a year in advance.

Lost Dutchman State Park is a wonderful campground with electric and water at each site and a modern new dump station nearby.  Plenty of trails to explore and stars to gaze at night.  Walking distance to Lost Dutchman mine that has tours and a quaint ghost town like feel food and snacks as well as a pub. Stayed only for 2 days while passing through the area but would definitely return.

Campsite has beautiful views of the mountains. Site was well maintained. Worked perfect for us and the kids.

From the time you pull into the park the staff are helpful. I arrived without a reservation early December so I wasn’t worried. I took 2 nights and in the morning I will be asking if I can extend another night. Gorgeous scenery. Sites are clean and organized. Bathrooms are maintained 10/10. I am very happy that I headed to this place.

This is a state campground not too far from Phoenix.  It is well maintained and almost every site has a nice view of the iconic monolith.  The sites are graveled, which I like as it helps manage dust and mud.  There are a lot of quail-my favorite desert bird-and the rangers actually have a quail feeding area near the entrance.  It has the standard amenities however no camp store.  The bathrooms were a little far from my site which was somewhat inconvenient.  The other thing I don't care for is that the fire ring was located right next to the table.  This can be a problem not only for cooking and it also for "sitting around the campfire".  There are trails you can take right of the campground, including Siphon Draw to Flatiron.  Before dawn, I could sit facing east toward the monolith and actually see the lights of headlamps heading up Siphon Draw before the heat of the day.

We love the Superstition mountains. Lost Dutchman campground is great. Has everything and is close to hwy and Phoenix. Lots to do in the area, lots of hikes straight from the campground. Homes were close to our campsite, but the view of the mountains was great!

Highly recommend this park with spacious sites and great views of the Superstition Mountains and night lights of Phoenix. Carefully review the site you select to be sure it will accommodate your rig. Roads are narrow and there are unforgiving drop offs on the sides. We had site 118 which was closer to mountain so view was very good.

Camped here with my family. The scenery was beautiful, but didn’t love the fact that people were blaring their music here until 2AM in the morning.

Perfect for just getting away for the weekend. Only a 45 minute drive from the house, yet far enough that you still feel like you got away.

Lots of good hiking, Ghost Town, good views. Worth every second. Easily our favorite quick camping trip.

We only got to stay here one night, but it is very beautiful. At the base of the Superstition mountains, which are awesome. Out of the city, so nice and quiet. All the sites are paved and fairly level. There are many sites that have pull through, electric, and water. The showers were good. Many hiking trails in the area. Would love to stay here a little longer.

This State Park campground located in the Superstition Mountains is a frequent quick camp spot for me if I don feel like trying to beat the crowds to some favorite local dispersed sites.

They offer sites with electric and water, and sites for dry camping, along with some cabins and group sites you can reserve. The sites offer as much privacy as one can expect in the desert and are not super close together, except for the site numbers 70+ which are only available in winter typically. There are plenty of hiking trails and activities in the park and nearby. The bathrooms and showers are clean and well maintained, and they even have a small dog “park” for your best pal to run off some energy.

Favorite things about the park: The views and the wild life. We have seen so many beautiful birds, from quail and owls to roadrunners and vultures, along with several different types of squirrels, lizards, hare, and coyotes.

If traveling near Phoenix you should make this state campground a number one option.

The towering superstition mountain range is a beautiful site and while we were there we were able to watch a hiker who was rescued. This hiker was not injured, just afraid to come back down the trail. Guess going up is easier than coming down.

The site we had had power and water. The showers in the restrooms were not great but something is better than nothing.

Fairly close to our home (30 miles) but we love to do 1-2 nighters here when we have the time.  There is plenty to see around the area.  Park is well maintained.  Spots are close but not too close to each other.  Its a little elevated so the valley views are great.  Gets a little warm during the summer - after all it is AZ.  Theres an old Gold Mine nearby to visit.

Loved staying at lost Dutchman. We are full time in our Rv, stayed for a full week and had access to the bathrooms, showers, dump & fill stations. We dry camped with no hookups but were able to use our generator at certain hours of the day. Great AT&T service through our Insty to get internet for work. Mostly loved the copious amounts of trails to walk, hike and run on. Even did a bike ride up the Apache trail to Boulder lake. Such a beautiful location.

Lost Dutchman has amazing views, super clean facilities and spaced out sites. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed this park. Sites were nicely spaced. Beautiful view of mountain and amazing sunsets. Great hikes right from the campground.

Wish we could have stayed longer. Great views and nice people.

Quiet (most of the time) and a beautiful view. Loved that the campsites were spread out. Only complaints are the weekend warriors being noisy at night and no sites have FHU. Only water and electric but still was nice to have those amenities

After years of reading rave reviews we finally got the chance to experience Lost Dutchman State Park, and we were fortunate to show up on a delightful Friday spring evening at 7p without a reservation and secure a last minute cancellation of Site 41 with 50 amp electric and water and a stunning view of the sunset on the Superstition Mtns. This is a very nice park, but also very crowded as it is basically within the Phoenix metro area, so it feels a bit congested and overrun compared to many state park campgrounds.

While it's on the bottom of our "Fave AZ State Parks" it's only there because, it's busy. It's right outside of Phoenix and folks from the valley frequent it. Being at the entrance to beautiful Tonto NF doesn't help with the traffic either. But, it's still 5 stars. The sites tend to be backwards for hookups vs how you pull in. So, if you have a long hose and power cord, park accordingly. Did not use any bath houses. Thankful we had electricity as we almost hit 100 in April after a chilly AZ winter.

Friendly rangers. Clean restrooms and hot showers. Hiking trails. Start early in the day. It can get hot in April. We hiked the Treasure loop trail to the green rock. Then the PV trail down. 500 feet elevation gain over 2 miles. Loose gavel in some spots. Moderate difficulty.

Ranger Sara ROCKS!!! Her upbeat personality and kindness was greatly appreciated after a long day behind the wheel. The entire staff was welcoming and all the bath houses and showers were cleaned multiple times daily. Our site was spacious and well kept. Not a piece of trash to be found. Very convenient to Goldfield ghost town for a day of fun and a flowy 4 mile mtb loop as well. Our daughter did the jr ranger program and loved it!!! Thanks again, great park!

Spectacular views, quiet and clean. Trails are well maintained.

While the sites at Lost Dutchman State Park are quite close together, the views and hiking trails are awesome! We camped in a campervan here (site 106) and it was perfect. We were in the 'rustic' loop, which consisted of sites without water or electric, and we could see Flatiron Mountain from our campsite.

My only complaint with the site is that it was quite a long walk to the restroom! Tent campers may not be able to find a suitable spot to pitch as the sites are small, but if you can get a site between 33 and 40, you should have room to pitch a tent. There are also hiker/biker campsites that require a short walk. These have amazing views, as do the cabins. 

We would definitely stay here again - maybe in early March so we can see the wildflowers blooming!

Boondoocked here 4 2 weeks. Nice hiking trails, mountain bike & road trails, neat activities, including songs & history around sunset campfire, clean, quiet & comfortable, lovely spot. Apache Trail is spectacular; reminiscent of CA Hwy 1, without the ocean but same magnificence & grandeur. All within a home run of Phoenix.

Our site was at the top of the loop closest to Mts but furthest from restrooms. It was a 1/3 mile hike to restrooms. Keep that in mind with kids! Our site itself (120) was perfect for one tent and our car. It kind of poked off the main loop away from other neighbors which is why we picked it, very close to the mtb trail and easy access to the trail leading to siphon draw. Very little shade. Actually close to park edge we could see peoples houses to the SE. would camp at this campground again, but for this site would do RV with own restroom. Even in late April early May need EZ up for shade or almost too hot. Fun family stuff at ghost town across the highway.
