Large paved well separated sites with 50A service. Very nice and clean bathrooms with showers. Traffic noise from I-10 is constant, however, and trains are frequent. The noise and lack of water, even at the dump station, makes this a three star park.

Terrific place. Hot mid September, and little annoying bugs, but beautiful desert setting. No water at sites, but every site gas electric, so we were able to run the A/C. Showers free and clean as a whistle. Will definitely return in spring to enjoy the hiking trails.

Don芒鈧劉t let the proximity to I 10 affect your decision to stay here. Traffic and railroad (as referenced by (Alaskan & 2 labr) 2018 review, are many miles away, partially blocked by some hills. And although the interstate is in view, the desert landscape sprinkled with saguaros (similar to the size & # of the Saguaro Nat芒鈧劉l Park), did not disturb a very restful night. There was no water, but the campsites were generous in size, gravel trails along the park roads, leading to Picacho Peak trailhead were nice to run/walk on. RV dump available. Didn芒鈧劉t use porta-potties or 芒鈧搒hower芒鈧 building. Staff extremely welcoming and nice. FYI FYI Our GPS tried to directed us to the frontage road & to other TV park instead of straight to the State Park. Would have been 5 stars if water was available.

So wonderful to wake up (in travel trailer) with cactus and open areas with mountain views! Clean restrooms with hot water available for the showers that are a nice size. No water for individual sites available due to it being a DESERT. Husband enjoyed the challenging footpaths to head up mountain. Pleasant and knowledgeable rangers and help. Yes, you cab hear hwy 10 traffic but we just didn't mind. Again, spacious sites with such a wonderful view!

Picacho Peak State Park is named for a pinnacle that reaches an extra 1,500 feet above the campground. It is just off I-10 northwest of Tucson and southeast of Phoenix. You can芒鈧劉t miss it because the famous peak and similar mountains are right there. All campsites have views of the mountains, and the park offers generous space between individual sites. There are numerous hiking trails. Because it is so close there is a faint hum of traffic from the freeway. And, other sounds carry well as another camper proved to many of us who heard his music. The park offered electricity and a dump station when we were there. Because there was a drought we had to fill up the water tank before we arrived. Due to its prime location near the freeway, the park works well as an overnight stop on the way to other destinations.

This is one of my favorites of any where. Great views and you are camping in the midst the saguaros. I don芒鈧劉t think the national park is any better. At the end of February the weather was incredible and the area was green. Electric only but well maintained dump stations. I would drive just to stay here.

This part is a great hidden spot .. very well maintained, spacious sites, reliable power ( 110, 30 amp, 50 amp connections ) .. we stopped around 7PM ..after a long drive from Flagstaff via Sedona ..got early enough to catch sun set. Highly recommended .. at this time of the year (Aug) .. completely empty .. yes, it can be hot when sun is up ...on cool down very quick as soon as sun is down.

This state park is beautiful. We stopped by after a long days drive for overnight, but would stay longer at another time. It芒鈧劉s the desert so it芒鈧劉s hot but the scenery is awesome. I-10 is fairly close, it can be heard. Some cool hikes, didn芒鈧劉t have chance for much, but scurried up a small peak behind campsites. Sir was level, I was in a back in spot and didn芒鈧劉t have to unhook (50ft overall) Electric only site, but water available. Bath/shower house was clean with hot water and good pressure. There was only 2 other campers here while we were here, I assume no one comes here because it芒鈧劉s hot, but it芒鈧劉s a beautiful place for the desert. Casa Grande is a town 20 miles away with Walmart and gas stations. Tucson is only 45 miles

Nice little State Park is a gem. Plenty of available spaces. Beautiful desert scenery. Clean bath houses. I - 10 and railroad tracks were far enough away that noise was not a problem for me. Ranger at the gate house/visitor center was very kind. I would definitely stay here again.

If you like the sound of trains every 15 minutes and I-10 traffic constant, this is the park for you. We prefer a more tranquil state park. Showers available; women's shower lukewarm/cold with wet hair in drain and on shower stall; men's shower was apparently hot/warm. Bathrooms were cleaned with bleach, but cleaning was deep. Trails up Picacho Peak, not dog friendly or for those with that don't like heights. Okay for one night stay, but wouldn't encourage any longer.
