Great camping in the area, away from all bugs you will encounter in the Saguaro park. Convenient parking spots, water is available. Night temperature was ideal to sleep in tent, middl of May.

Site#48 our first time at this site after many years coming here. This site is our new favorite! The only negative thing was when we arrived we drove through around the top past the other sites the trailer at #50 was parked partially on the road and I had to maneuver past the trailer and the tree on the other side of the road with inches to spare.
The sites were all clean and the restroom was spotless. Overall a wonderful experience. One question, if we needed to contact someone for a problem at night what can we do? I saw no camp hosts or Deputies as in the past.
We appreciate this campground very much.
Thank you

- Reserved sites are held until the day after your arrival, but must be occupied by checkout time to avoid forfeiture. Reservations cannot be modified after the start date.
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
