Great campground, very spread out so lots of space between campsites. Clean restrooms. Quiet and nice views. This is dry camping - bring your own water; there are vault toilets, garbage bins. Only a few sites are suitable for RVs and they recommend maximum 22ft for trailers.

Perfect spot for our end of March camping trip. We arrived on a Friday afternoon expecting it to be packed but there were plenty of spots (some remained empty). We had a lot of fun going on the easy hike with the kids (didn't do the whole thing) and had some deer get pretty close. I recommend this to everyone including first time campers. No running water but there are pit toilets (thus the 4 stars).

This is a great campground and it’s only a short drive up Mount Lemmon. Actually pretty near the bottom just north of mile marker 4. Lots of camping spots a d fairly well spread out. They provide a table and grill area and most spots I saw. Fees for the night are very reasonable. I went for a hike and I thought the trails were pretty poorly marked. You have to really look for the vertical rectangle “trail” signs and they are often pretty faded. The views were ok but nay as odd as many other hikes in Tucson.

We had a fabulous time here! Well maintained and most sites are situated to allow for maximum privacy. It's really beautiful tucked between mountains with a creek, and hiking trail right off the campground.

This campsite is pretty awesome! It also has a hiking trail right next to it. It’s spooky at night up in the mountains. Take flashlights!!
