We love Usery
if we could actually get a spot to camp here again it would be nice. we love camping at Usey Park. It has some of the best hiking spots, campsites are well maintained and its close to home. They offer tons of programs for everyone like night hikes and scorpion hunts. Do consider reserving a spot with ample time they tend to get booked really quick especially during the winter time.
Bulldog Canyon
Probably one of the closest places to camp on the east valley of the Phoenix area. This place is most used by OHVs so it can get noisy on the weekends. I’ve also seen spots that people use for shooting. This area is just for dispersed camping, no services, cell phone coverage is good with Verizon.
