I was in Site 50 for 3 nights. Beautiful large site with little traffic, close to restroom and water faucet, and a short walk to the lake. Camp hosts are super friendly and nice, and campground and restrooms are well maintained. I have camped in Rose Canyon campground several times and I'm never disappointed. Great escape from Tucson heat!

A very beautiful campsite! I stayed in one of the RV loops, spot #45. A bit of a tight squeeze to get the trailer into the elevated pad with railings on three sides, but once it it was magnificent. Views overlook the ravine with a small stream at the bottom. The site is positioned so that you only have view of one adjacent RV spot from the trailer, but once you go down the steps to the table, BBQ and fire pit, there is screening brush and it feels very private. Absolutely loved it and will go back!
