They were full so we spent the night in overflow. Toured the campground and it's lovely. Ended up leaving after one night because they were full for the weekend, but we would definitely come back. First class operation. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Possibly the best of the Maricopa County Regional Parks, for camping. Much like Usery Mountain but smaller. Close to Carefree Highway and shopping, but in a very rural, scenic desert setting. Great for bird and critter (javelina, coyote) watching. Several wonderful trails in the park plus remnants of past mining and ranching activity. Much to see and do in nearby Cave Creek and Carefree. Campsites are mostly large, level, and private. Good TV reception with an antennae. This park is on a first come-first served basis and is very popular. The overflow portion was quite full nearly every night we stayed. You must pay for your site by 8 AM the next morning or run the risk of losing it. Most of the staff was friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Park owned by county. Lovely setting in desert surroundings. Hiking trails. Very spacious sites. Quiet. Dry Camp Group area set aside. Horses may be brought for overnight, small pen at campsite, call first. Isolated but easy drive into northern Phoenix. Big new Grocery store nearby. Electric registered low 110v-113v most of the time. We camped here in a camper.
Very clean well maintained park with large well separated campsites. Quiet desert setting among the saguro cactus. First come first serve but during October there was a lot of availability. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is our favorite park. The sites are very, very large. They all have cement slabs and are well landscaped. There is no noise and no lights to bother you seeing all those stars. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
