This park is not as well managed as the other 7 state and county parks in AZ that we stayed at on this trip. Most of the sites are just average-to-not very good. Neighboring sites are frequently too close, either behind or beside. When campers fire up the campfire, the smoke fills everyone’s rigs. The best electric sites by far are 26, 24 and 22 which are really spacious, private and back up to the lake with a partial view. Only 34 of the 106 sites have elec and water, and people are aggressively seeking these sites every morning. Not sure if there are any workcampers or hosts because we never saw anyone ride through to check out the sites. Two vehicles maximum per site but a few people jammed 3-4 vehicles in their sites and nobody in authority questioned it. Some camper’s music blared during the day, which really needed a ranger to get them to lower the noise. The trees needed trimming as backing in to some sites resulted in branches scraping the RV. This is a world class area for birding and there seems to be a lot of fishermen enjoying this small lake as well as families enjoying the outdoors. Better management, more hookup sites and better site design are needed. We may not return until improvements are made. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park with sites on small lake, loads of birds. Really large sites with tables and fire ring. Birding trail is about 200 yards away. They do boat tours and rentals. Would rate it a 10 if there were sewer hookups. Area is center of world class birding. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Sites were paved but not very level. Washrooms and showers were barely adequate, not heated, showing a lot of signs of age. Fire rings at sites were poorly placed and in many cases unusable because they were too close to RV's. Hiking trails in the park and in the adjacent state trust land were excellent. Hunting is allowed in the large tract of state trust land. Wildlife viewing and birding and quail hunting are big attractions. Nogales is only 18 miles from park entrance. Access points to the Coronado Forest are nearby. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We were leery of this park because of another review here on RV Park Reviews. The park was spotless with no trash or dirty diapers around anywhere. The sites with power and water are small, meant for smaller rigs, but the undeveloped sites are big enough for any size rig with easy access. No services at these sites, though. Generators can be run until 9:00 p.m. There are 4 Park Rangers living at the park and someone is on duty 24 hours a day, so safety is not an issue here. Birds are everywhere with plenty of guided bird walks. 21 miles of hiking trails; you have to have a permit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very dirty place. Dirty diapers laying around and lots of junk. Didn't have electric the first night moved the next day to electric spot. Very loud, not very clean, crowded and spots were hard to get into. I would not stay here again. Most units had two or three families staying. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice state park but some things need to be updated, especially the restrooms and the showers. No heat in the restrooms either, no shower curtains. Nice small lake with ranger guided pontoon boat tours for $3. Quiet at night. Only 34 sites have power and water. Dump Station, small store. Small village of Patagonia 7 miles away. All sites are dirt and small gravel and most sites are not level. This is a birdwatchers paradise and caters to the birdwatching crowd. More species of birds than you can count. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Simple park, in a simple little town. The owner was great, and the area is absolutely beatiful. I loved my stay here, and can't wait to return to better explore the areas surrounding this gem of a town in Southern Arizona. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Small campground but we found nothing to complain about. Restrooms and showers were just immaculate. They are key coded for entry and this could be a problem as the office is not continuously staffed and those arriving while it is unmanned will not have immediate access. We stayed two nights and were perfectly happy. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great Place to spend a few nights. Park management/owner very helpful. Facilities in good clean condition. Restroom and showers very clean and neat. We camped here in a Motorhome.
