We hiked the north trail loop today and it was so peaceful and beautiful! We stopped at the visitor center first and the nice ranger lady gave us a color pamphlet with a numbered tour of all the desert plants. This park is a gem. Thank you Arizona!

Perfect of you are a cyclist either mountain, gravel or road. If you have a small camper or tent or car camping then camp at ironwood campground for just $22 a night and save as it’s more basic here than the main campground. There’s water, toilets and a new shower block that was closed in March 25 but opens soon.

We absolutely loved this campground! It is amazingly gorgeous! There are hiking trails glore! McDowell is a mountain biker's paradise. There are miles and miles of trails in the beautiful desert landscape. We saw so many birds, desert wren, a cardinal, and harrison hawks sitting on the giant Sagauro cactus! Absolutely spectular! The facilities are great too! The bathrooms and showers were very clean. There is water and power at your campsite with a dump station at the entrance/exit. We highly recommend McDowell Mountain Regional Park!

We have stayed at this park many times over the last 20 years. It is one of the most beautiful best maintained parks in which we have stayed. The sites are large and nice with electricity and water. The views are outstanding. One thing I have always liked about this park is the privacy in some of the sites particularly the outer Westerly ring. Unfortunately, they have crammed in a bunch more sites so now there is no really private site. Every site that I saw has someone directly across. Still nice but unfortunate.

Fantastic desert camping area!! Amazing kid friendly area to play. The views are outstanding. Staff is friendly and helpful. Only thing to note is their fire restrictions as they can change from one night to the next.
