The park staff are probably some of the nicest people you will meet. They really set the tone do your journey ahead The park is beautiful and amazing. The trails are well manicured. This visit was my first visit to the summit of Picacho Peak. Getting to the saddle is awesome. Beyond the saddle be ready for cables and roc climbing. Serious uphill climbing Which means serious down hill climbing back down. I’m over 60. I took my time. Rested along the way and it took me about 6 hours round trip. Some can do it in 3 hours. But meander take your time and enjoy the views.

Hunter trail was difficult as labeled! Amazing views and trail! Bring gloves and lots of water and snacks. Hiking shoes are a must! I had both knees replaced in the last calendar year and this really pushed the limits. Well labeled but serious challenges.

We had ramada's and they were well worth the money because at the end of our group hike we had sandwiches delivered to that location and when we were done with our group hike we all ate like kings. The hike was very hard but I was out of shape. It was worth the work to get up to at least the saddle. If I had had more time I think I could have kept going to the top but I would need probably half a day considering I don't hike much.

Really cool spot! We stopped on our way to Tucson from Phoenix. We were able to squeeze in a short hike to the childrens cave it wasnt too challenging as it was only .2 miles, but the inclines could be challenging for some! Very quiet on a Friday afternoon, cute visitor center with affordable items. The ranger on duty was very friendly and chatty. Overall a very nice place!

Another nice find right off Route I10. Not many people here tonight. Shower was excellent. All the hot water you want with nice pressure. Also, it is very clean. We had a pull through spot. Easy peasy. Love all the large cacti!

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.

The best campground for night skies !!!! Wow. Its very day and we could see the Milky Way Campsites were spacious and had electricity. Great hiking trails

A beautiful park. The trail up to the top of the mountain is nice. The hike is a bit difficult. There are ropes, and cables, and planks, and things to help pass some areas. Some people decide to not pass one point that is about 2/3 up. The view from the top is incredible. The Cogburn Ostrich Farm is another nice place to visit, and is right near there. and. DQ across the freeway.

Fee for Daily Use is 7.00 and from there you choose what trail to do. We hiked Sunset Vista Trail to the peak. Total time was 6 hours and 2 minutes but we did take several breaks on the way. Total miles 6 round trip. The first miles and a half is all flat terrain once you get to the base of the mountain and see your first set of cables to hike up its a challenge from here. Gloves definitely recommended. There are a few areas where you will us the cables to climb up. The views from the summit however are well worth it. Now I can drive past this peak amd say I hiked that. It's an amazing experience. Take plenty of water some snacks to keep you hydrated and sun block.

Loved this campground and didn't want to leave!! Just the right size, clean facilities and amazing views! Sites are a little close together for a state park but not to the point where it takes away from the experience. Felt very safe and cozy. Close enough to Tucson area to get anything you could need. 100% would stay again!
