What Guests Are Saying
Calabasas is an excellent site for large groups, featuring spacious, flat areas for tents, ample tree coverage, and well-maintained fire pits and tables. Reviewers appreciated the cleanliness of facilities and the overall experience, often returning for future outings. However, it's important to note that there is no water available on-site, so visitors need to bring their own.

Site was big and spacious. Restrooms were clean. Make sure and call for gate code ahead of time.

The campground is very nice situated in a small valley with some large oaks. It’s gated for security. Close to Peña Blanca Lake. About an hour from Ruby ghost town. 30 minutes to Nogales.
Three down sides:
1. Pit toilets were gross. Someone peed all over the outside of the door and the inside hadn’t been cleaned for awhile.
2. The neighbor’s livestock get through the fence and leave their calling cards everywhere, so bring a shovel.
3. The trash receptacle is a little trailer filled to the brim and it’s very difficult to get your trash in it.
Otherwise a good group site.

We annually come to this group area for an RV outing and enjoy our stay. Plenty of room to park RVs.
