Avoid the high-numbered camping sites! The scenery is amazing, and there's enough space for large RVs, but if you reserve a site in the high-number loop, you will be far away from the bathrooms (about half a mile - on a dirt trail!) And won't have WiFi reception... So it's 5 stars if you are near the bathroom and the WiFi, 3 if you are not. Oh, yeah - make sure you take a site with power connection, especially in the hot season - an AC is a must during the day, but generator hours are really limited.

Beautiful natural area. We parked at a spot with a perfect view of the Superstition Mountains and sunset was gorgeous 😍 There were only a few others camping so it was very quiet.

Lost Dutchman State Park blends stunning desert scenery, striking views of the Superstition Mountains, outdoor adventure, and rich legend in a compact, visitor-friendly setting ideal for both day trips and overnight stays under the desert sky. During summer, temperatures can become extremely warm even by 9 a.m., so hikers should plan accordingly and take precautions if venturing out during the day. The park is also a good spot for birdwatching, with opportunities to spot small mammals such as cottontail rabbits.

Great park! Iconic mountains and beautiful place to hike because every view is worth it. There are camping grounds and picnic areas. The trails are marked and there are good places to take pictures or overlook to enjoy the view. Definitely worth the visit for a $10 entrance fee.

This is a nice area (the State Park) however, BUYER BEWARE. It cost $20 for two of us in our car to get in. When I looked this up it looked like I would be paying for access to the trails. The website and maps allude to this. BUT the main portion of the trails are on federal land and are free to access from a different point. The state park has short trails that tie into all of the other trails. That being said, the park itself was well kept with nice bathrooms and pavillions with picnic tables. The hikes are awesome and the scenery and vistas really cool. We weren't here for camping, just day use.
