The mountains in Tucson are absolutely stunning. The drive up was super easy, and once we got to the top, it felt like a completely different world so peaceful and refreshing. It was the perfect escape from the Tucson heat. The only downside was that most of the shops were closed due to the Fourth of July, but other than that, it was a really nice little getaway spot.

Great park ! Even when its 112 degrees outside, just jump in the water . Make sure you come at the right season or make sure your A/C its working 100% its HOT AF in the summer

Great riverside camping. We stayed during memorial day weekend. So we got to see this place swing in full force. There are a large amount of "rustic camping" spots l, where you pull in and pay at any time, day or night. Many reserved sights that fill up fast, book a year in advance. We were able to stop here last minute and grab an open spot right at the river. And there were at least 7 other open spots. So plenty of room. Also you can back your trailer or rig up to the tent sight and set up the trailer in the parking space. What ever vehicle fits in your space you can use there. $35 a night for these spots, plus an extra $15 for additional vehicles at your spot. Reserved sights are around $50 a night? Pirates den is right around the river bend, and there are plenty of restaurants around that area if you don't want to cook Last but not least, they have full public bathrooms with showers. Multiple buildings along the riverfront. Cleaned daily. It's a little weird not having a full door but it's camping showers y'all know how it is. All in all, this is our new favorite spot. I highly recommend sitting at the riverside in the early hours of the morning, and watch the rooster tails come off the powerboats, the way the sun shines in to them is magic. A rainbow appears if the light hits them right. Especially with the cliff as the backdrop. Beautiful place.

Great week of camping. Close to Wamart if you forgot something, go to the Blue Water Casino (check out the $5 burger and fries deal at the deli!) or plenty of restaurants close by if you want to treat yourself to a dinner out!

We loved this place! In fact, we tried to get a third night, but it was booked. There is so much to do here, several hiking trails and the park offers horse shoes, corn hole, and other games that can be checked out. There's a lending library filled with books in case you want to immerse yourself in a good book while relaxing next to the Colorado River. The dog park is big and well maintained. The campsites are raked and kept clean.
