We were here for 3 nights of camping in 105+ degree weather in June. We decided at the last minute to add a day to our stay and come in a day early. Our site was available and the process of adding the day was efficient. We stayed in Campground B site 70. It was a large back on site with a hill full of saguaro behind our site. It included water and 30/50 amp service which was totally necessary is the heat. The bathrooms in this loop are fairly new and were very clean. The showers were spacious. Been on the road a month and these bathrooms are the best we encountered. The hot water was a little slow to warm up, but got hot enough to mix in the cold and the pressure was good. We show quite a bit of wildlife. Prairie dogs are all around. I saw a jack rabbit, lizards, and even a coyote. The loop provided a great place to walk your dog although with these hot temps, we had to purchase dog boots to protect the paws in the middle of the day. My only disappointment was that the evening hike advertised the literature provided when checking in was closed to registrations despite being able to count the number of people camping on one hand in our loop. I was told you have to register for the things months in advance. I guess these are not for campers coming through.

This is a beautiful state park! The trails are nice and you can climb up for great scenic views! it is definitely more comfortable to hike in the winter. Hiking at 6 AM in the summer works too! As with any Arizona hike, bring plenty of water. If you don’t have a park pass, then you can get a day pass for parking for seven dollars. If you come before it is open there is a self-serve kiosk to pay and pick up your parking pass. There was plenty of parking on the days that I have been there for hiking.

Wonderful place to go. We enjoyed the area and the park itself. This place was so relaxing and comfortable. I am making reservations to come down here again. The park itself was clean and quiet.

Absolutely loved this park! Tucson is just an amazing city with so much to experience! This park takes you into rugged and beautiful landscape that you would just not expect in such a large city… The solitude you experience in these parks is worth every minute.

Very nice state park. Mountains are so beautiful with the Saguaros and other desert plants making an ecosystem throughout them. Campsites are very well spaced out with trees for shade and privacy.
