Just be aware that there are snakes here. We had one living in a bush by our spot , but it gave us no problems. Snakes are vital to the system. This is a very beautiful park and we are very glad we stayed there.

Stayed here in a 38ft Renegade plus Jeep. Room for both in loop A-13. Site was secluded. Beautiful setting. 50A, no water, dump. 100 degrees first of April. Lots of trails (well groomed) & hiking. At 100 degreeswe enjoyed neither! But beautiful surroundings. Very clean and neat. We camped at Picacho Peak State Park in a Motorhome.
