What others are saying
The sites are well spaced, and the campground is quiet and peaceful. The desert setting is beautiful and the views of Picacho Peak are stunning. The only downside is that there is no potable water available, so you must bring your own. Picacho Peak State Park is a picturesque campground nestled in the foothills of Picacho Peak, located between Tuscon and Phoenix. It offers spacious campsites with fire rings, picnic tables, and private ramadas with picnic tables and fire rings. The campground roads are narrow, but no real problem getting in and situated. The sites are well spaced, providing a sense of privacy, and the desert setting is beautiful with a variety of plant life and a backdrop of impressive mountain peaks. The nearest camper is 150 feet away, and the campground is quiet and peaceful. There are several hiking trails in the park, including the very challenging Picacho Peak summit, and the views of the stars at night are stunning. Unfortunately, there is no potable water available, so campers must bring their own. The campground also offers electric hookups, a dump station, and restrooms and showers with plenty of hot water.

Photos

From The Campground

Visitors traveling along I-10 in southern Arizona can’t miss the prominent 1,500-foot peak of Picacho Peak State Park. Enjoy the view as you hike the trails that wind up the peak and, often in the spring, overlook a sea of wildflowers. The park and surrounding area are known for its unique geological significance, outstanding and varied desert growth, and historical importance. The unique shape has been used as a landmark by travelers since prehistoric times. One of the first recordings was in the 1700s by the Anza Expedition as it passed through the area. The park offers a visitor center with exhibits and a park store, a playground, historical markers, a campground and picnic areas. Many hiking trails traverse the desert landscape and offer hikers both scenic and challenging hikes. Hike prepared and know your limits. Bring plenty of food and water and wear proper footwear. Enjoy the beauty of the desert and the amazing views.
