We just completed our third stay at the Picacho/Tucson NW KOA Journey. Located less than an hour from our home, it is a wonderful getaway. We have enjoyed seeing what the owners have done to the property over the years! You can see the pride of ownership and love for what they do with the cleanliness of the camp, customer service and amenities they provide. Our kids love hanging out at the clubhouse - playing games and working on communal puzzles with other guests. The store is well stocked with excellent prices. We had to purchase mayonnaise and it wasn’t any more expensive than what I would spend at Walmart. We treated our family to ice cream treats from the store and commented on how reasonably priced they are! This is a wonderful place to get away for a few days or stop at while traveling. We hope to start camping here regularly and hope others will do the same! Let’s support this wonderful family and their business!

My family and I took a small trip to the Picacho Koa to try out or new trailer. The staff and owner were so kind and friendly! The campground was quiet and clean. The park and rec room were wonderful. Our 4 year old loved the games and the train table. My husband and I loved playing their large game of checkers. The small shop they have is affordable and not marked up like other places we have been to. Our only complaint, which isnt a huge deal, were the ants around the pool. My daughter(4) and I walked down the road to see the horses. The campground has a few hummingbird feeders and the hummingbirds were out enjoying the treat. And the second night we got to see some toads that came out during a light rain. Overall, I can say, we had a great experience. We will definitely be back! Thank you for making our trip so memorable.

This is owned by a very nice couple. Everything was very clean and they were very helpful from the moment we arrived. Would use this location again and would highly recommend it. One of the best parts, no longer term rentals with junk all around their site and their rigs looking like they could not be moved.

Right off I10 easily found. Very clean, well taken care of. Management was very customer friendly. Sadly we didn't need to spend the night there and left early. We will however return for a weekend stay. The full hook up pull through lots are spacious and very well kept. It was very peaceful and quite while we were there for our short time.

Stayed here again on our trip east to Florida. Beautiful mountain views and a horse stable next door is fun to see. This park is small but expertly laid out, spacious sites with Adirondack chairs, dining table with umbrella, grill and firepit. Luxury sites offer a concrete patio and several have fenced dog pens with shade cover. Camp store has a few snacks and souvenirs, and staff are attentive and sweet! Both times were too cold for swimming but the pool would be wonderful in summer!

Maintained to perfection. Not a destination campground but certainly the cleanest. Ladies, the laundry room is spotless with 6 new washers and dryers. Laundry prices are reasonable. The campground itself is very pricey so check in advance . The more costly sites have a paved patio with nice outdoor chairs, an umbrella, and a fire ring. Other sites have a picnic table and small metal fire ring and are gravel. Raked daily and level. Management cares about the campground.

Super sweet and friendly check in person that was very personable. Clean, easy pull in, level spots that didn't require leveling for our 34 ft travel trailer. Easy in and out from I-10. We have stayed at dozens of KOAs across the country and those are all things we don't take for granted because all i mentioned above is very rare! We will definitely be back!

We LOVED our stay at the Picacho KOA!! This campground is neat as a pin, and has a great desert aesthetic. You’re outside of town here, so the stargazing after dark is phenomenal (as is the bird and wildlife watching!) - but there’s plenty of nearby activities within 10-15 minutes like Picacho Peak State Park and a fun local farm where you can feed ostriches, of all the things! Felicia, the campground owner, and her family do an amazing job at making campers feel welcome and helping everyone have a great stay - right down to a Thanksgiving potluck for those of us who were away from home during the holidays! We really appreciated the well stocked store, where we could get firewood and even pick up some equipment we needed for our camper. The heated pool is also a wonderful amenity. We travel with dogs, so having a safe and enjoyable dog yard is really important for us, and Picacho KOA delivered!!! The spacious dog run has two entrance points for convenience and safety, is well lit for evening potty and play breaks, and our dogs had a blast on the agility equipment in the yard. This is a campground we would be thrilled to stay at again in the future!

Did not plan on stopping but I-10 closed due to a major wreck. The staff here was extremely friendly and helpful. Just stayed the one night, enjoyed the pool, and would definitely stay there again. On the downside, there did seem to be a lot of flies, probably due to the horses next door.

Very nice campground. Friendly staff escorted us to our site. Spacious sites are crushed stone with picnic table. Some sites have concrete patios and even individual dog pens. We had no trouble getting level. All utilities worked as expected. Good WiFi signal. Good T-mobile signal. Wide roads are crushed stone and easy to navigate in any size rig. The park is nicely landscaped with trees, shrubs and cactus. Everything is very well maintained. Good signage from the highway. We were only here for one night, but would have been happy to stay longer.

Always skeptical about staying at a journey. This one was the best journey we have stayed at. Friendly staff. Park was so neat and tidy. Lots of updated sites. Lovely to see some eucalyptus trees! We loved our stay and will definitely be back

November 2021 we had the pleasure of being stranded here an entire month due to a truck "accident" while we were waiting for parts. Management (owners) are a lovely couple with a family that take customer service to a whole new level! This by far was the best KOA we've stayed at during a time of duress as site, location, availability and obviously customer service were impeccable during our unexpected detour. Horse stables adjacent make for ranch like environment with pecan tree farms leading up to the park. Would recommend for all ages at any given time!

This is a very nice campground. The sites are spacious and the little patio we had with our site was very cool. Everything was well maintained and the park is kept very clean. Last but most important, the staff is incredibly friendly here - everyone did their job with a smile. A very well run campground, we will definitely be back.
