Camped here. Lovely campground, beautiful views and hikes. Showers should be cleaned daily, but they are not. Arizona State parks have increased the price of campsites ..... services should reflect that.

Camping prices went up to $50/spot, which, without sewer, is steep in my opinion. We stayed in the 75-104 loop and I don't recommend it for big rigs - it is tight. There are also no restrooms on this loop. We appreciated the trails, restrooms were clean but a bit run down. Note that there is very little shade in the campground or on the trails so be prepared with water, sunscreen, and hats.

Ten bucks to park and worth every penny. You get clean trails, friendly staff, and some of the best hiking views in Arizona. I hit Flatiron while I was there, and it was absolutely phenomenal. The climb hits hard but rewards you with views that make you forget how much your legs are complaining. The park is spotless, the trails are clearly marked, and even the bathrooms were clean which is rare enough to deserve a shout-out. Bring water, snacks, and a camera because every turn looks like it should be a postcard. If you live in Arizona or you’re just passing through, go here. Hike, explore, get dusty, and enjoy one of the best slices of the desert you’ll ever see.

Picturesque Arizonan Desert and oh so HOT! Bring plenty of drinking water. Incredible sunsets with park proximity to an old ghost town. RV spots not terribly close with water and electric with dump station on the way out. Dog friendly, but lots of prickly things off the pavement.

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.
