*Military base* Saguaro Skies FamCamp (Luke AFB—Phoenix, AZ) $40/night Lovely & big Air Force base. Nice overnighter; wish we could stay longer, but we are pushing to get to CA for an event. This is a great place to walk, jog, or ride bikes. Nice commissary, & went to the PX, but it was closing in 3 minutes (it closes at 6 pm). Looks like a typical PX. Gas on base is at least 35 cents higher than Sam’s off base. I was impressed by the cacti and other vegetation. The guy at check-in told hubby NOT to feed the birds (except hummingbirds), but I don’t know why. Saw sooooooo many birds just chilling in a field and all I could think of was Alfred Hitchcock. Enter through the Litchfield gate (off Lightning Ave/Rd). You’ll take a right .5 miles at a flashing light, then a wide right at the stop sign. About a quarter of a mile on the left is the famcamp. Take the second left (the first is an exit only from the famcamp). You’ll see the RVs. The gate my GPS wanted me to take was closed. Once through the gate, follow the little brown sign to the famcamp. — at Luke AFB Famcamp.

Good place to stay . 40.00 per night. A lot of noise but it is a very active air force base. The bx and food court closes at 1800 (6:00 pm) every night. Commissary is one of the better ones in the system and closes at 8:00 PM. Internet at the sites is hit or miss. Mostly miss. If you need to go over to the East side of town plan on a 60 mile trip each way. Big city.. The mini mart and burger king also shut down at 6:00. They do have gas and diesel fuel at the pumps. Bx, commissary and mini mart are all located very close to the fam camp. The staff are first rate and keep the camp very clean and orderly.

If you own a dog don't even stop here in the early fall. At 107 today 9/25/24 and nothing but blacktop road it will burn your dogs feet. You can't even walk across the road to the base dog park (because they don't have one here at the Rv park)....its way too hot to walk across the blacktop road. We were here 5 yrs ago when everything was lush & green....now all the landscaping is dead. And to top it all off...this is one of the higher rate famcamps at 40 bucks a night. Definitely not worth the price!

What a great experience. We saw the planes up close and watched multiple takeoffs and landing. The sights, sounds and speed was unbelievable.

Very clean with level concrete pads. Outstanding park that looks like new. Friendly staff. All pull through sites with full hookups. Laundry available too. It's on Luke AFB so it requires military base access.
