The Campground was very clean. Everyone who worked at the party were nice. The sites are level and the views are beautiful. The trails are fun for hiking and biking.

This is a hidden gem for those who want to feel seclusion but still close enough to civilization. McDowell Mountain Regional Park offers beautiful views from just about every site. The sites are spacious and there’s plenty of room between your neighbors. The restrooms and showers are clean and well maintained. It’s definitely off the beaten path but well worth the visit.

Awesome park with great facilities and trails. $7 for a day pass to get in. I did see a few rattlesnakes so watch out for those! Saw lots of walkers, runners, and bikers on the trails.

The Two Crazy Vegans have stayed at the EJ Rowland Campground here so many times we have stats on campspots. There is trails galore and the bathrooms are always clean. Views can be breathtaking and its close to us so we come when we can.

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.

Nice park with plenty of trails to explore and some campgrounds and picnic areas. If you have a state park ticket you can get in for free.

Desert. Park facilities very clean, rv spots are tight. You get your own gate and gatecode and the park closes at night. Reasonable rates and friendly and helpful staff. Definitely recommend. Can't get a more safe place to leave your rv.

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!

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.
