We had a group of 6-8 30 somethings across from us. They were up until 1:00am partying. We mentioned the situation to the campground host the next day and he took care of it. Lovel6 campground. Lots of space between sights

I've camped at Rose Canyon for years. The last time I took some friends up there to see the place I was denied using my Senior Pass to enter the park. I had to pay $10, the person in the booth said they no longer accept the card for day use, only for camping. The last time I camped I towed my vehicle up there with my motorhome and I was able to use my Senior Pass for half off the camping fee. Then when I got there they wanted to charge me $9 a night because I towed my car with me. That has never happened before at that park before or anywhere else for that matter. I don't think this is right that a motorhome is charged a fee for towing a vehicle. Most motorhomes tow a dingy so they will have a primary vehicle to use while they are camping. What's going happen next? Are they going to get rid of the Senior Pass all together??? I was very disappointed in the management up there. One of the camp hosts also had 7 dogs in the camp site. They would bark whenever the host was not at his site. Very annoying to campers.

The best camp hosts we've had over many years at Rose Canyon. All facilities are maintained perfectly. Damage from the fires last year is evident, but still this is a great getaway from Tucson. Sad to hear that many of the common sense courtesies and rules are being broken by local day-trippers who probably don't know how to respect the public-use space. But, the hosts are working their butts off to make things right there and my hat's off to them.

Other then the fire restrictions it was clean and well kept. There was a nice rope swing that was close by as well. Definitely will go again

Rose Canyon Lake is a beautiful and quiet spot. However, we quickly found out some camp sites are better than others. Site 35 is directly across from a restroom which blew the smell into our tent all night.

Prepare for long walk to lake, and lots of crowds at the lake area.
