I arrived at dinner time after trying out the Cracker Barrel parking lot nearby, but found it way too noisy. There was one campsite open and I tucked myself in. I stayed connected as I just needed an overnight. Beautiful, quiet, campground, except for the fact that there are lots of hikers going on the trails, and the campground is right next to them. I love this campground. It was such a gift to find a quiet, peaceful place for an overnight. If there was no site available, I would’ve tucked myself into the horse trailer parking lot as I was just needing an overnight. Never saw a ranger. There were no envelopes to pay. There was no one at the gate.

The campground is less than 10 minutes away from an ALDI market, restaurants and gas, but when you get there, it feels very remote, dark at night and quiet. Site E has a large Saguaro cactus behind it, and although the other sites are kinda nearby, it was still pretty quiet there. Quiet hours end at sunrise, but someone decided to rev some kind of engine 30 minutes before sunrise when we were there.
There's a neat bridge that goes to a bunch of different hikes including a short .6 mile one with educational placards throughout about the flora and fauna. I ended up going right after sunrise with my 11 year old son on the short hike, and while we were there, we saw 6 hot air balloons fly overhead! Lots of Saguaro cactus throughout and other types of cacti.
The bathrooms were pretty clean and included soap and paper towels. We had gone out at night and didn't have a problem a few minutes before 10pm getting back into the park. It was December 28th, so I'm not sure they close the gates or not.

There's only seven spots, A-G, unfortunately I took the only one available which was G, and the worst of the lot. It's the last on the loop and beside of the trail head path. At times there's 50 to 60 cars in the nearby parking lot with people hiking the trails with their dogs, strolling within 20 feet my campsite which was below the path to the foot bridge. While eating breakfast at 8 o'clock I probably had 10 or 15 people stop to look down in my camper windows as if I was on display at the park. I would recommend you stay on sites C, D, or E. Site E seems to be the premium site in the loop, at the highest point and with more separation. The bathrooms are lacking, they are for the park and the campsite, the mens bathroom had one urinal and one indestructible jail house toilet. This is also one of the very few paid campgrounds I've been to that did not have a dumpster or any place to deposit your trash other than small trashcans by the bathrooms. The park and campground is in a beautiful location, it's just a shame the campground seems to have been an afterthought during the development process. The park hours are supposed to be from sunrise to sunset, so one would expect peace and quiet after sunset, but I heard voices and footsteps long after dark on the Loop Road and around the bathrooms and parking lot; I don't think they were campers.

We stayed here 3 days and 2 nights while attending a friends’ ultramarathon race at Estrella Mountain Park (which currently does not have camping). There’s not a ton of camping options in this west Phoenix metro area. The campsite was next to a very busy trailhead. The campsite was large and level and easy to back into. The mountains were lovely. There was nice desert hiking and I got a 7 mile trail run in with the dogs. There is also a shopping center not far from the park if you need anything. This would be an ideal camping area to stage a long trail run because the camping is right next to the trail head and the trails were very well maintained. We didn’t have the issues other reviewers mentioned with the reservation system and our campsite was well marked when we got there. We have a weboost and was able to do basic internet when it was turned on from that campsite. Recommend choosing a site on the right hand side of the loop, we were right by the trailhead and there was a constant stream of hikers walking by.

Wife and I stayed here visiting our daughter in Arizona. I agree with other posts there is a need to improve the reservation process. When we arrived there was another camper setting up a tent on our site. We reserved online in November and they had called and were able to reserve the same site a few days prior. Luckily, there was an open site and they agreed to take it since we had reserved several months ago. That issue aside it was a great dry camping experience. Busy trailhead in the park during the day but very quiet and peaceful at night. We are both fulltime remote employees so with a WiBoost we were able to work (zoom calls, emails, etc) and stream Sling TV and YouTube through a FireStick. With TMobile we had 22MB down and 1.5 up and 17MB down and 8MB up with Verizon. Both more than adequate for our work and entertainment needs. After work we had access to a lot of good trails right from the campground to soak up some Arizona sun and enjoy the views. As a bonus Buckeye is small town only a few miles away with all the essentials including a Planet Fitness we used for a shower and workout.

It seems there are issues using the reservation system so I did my best to list out each step of the process under the NOTES tab. The system is not user-friendly, so I hope the steps will prove helpful. I've stayed here on 3 different occasions over the past 2 years and have really enjoyed Skyline each time. I don't recall the reservation process being that big if of an issue. BUT that said, this last visit on the weekend of February 21st was the first time my site was not labeled with my reservation. I saw the review noting the issue with the reservation system - when I called Buckeye Rec Dept to extend my stay by one day (to see if the site was available) I mentioned that no one was updating sites with reservation tags. The attendant said they were having an issue with the system not forwarding the information to the "3rd party" who was responsible for posting reservations. Therefore, reserved sites were not being tagged in a timely manner. This is the first time this has occurred during my stays and yes, it can certainly mess up one's plans. She said they were going to address it but in the meantime, it might be a good idea to call the office to confirm your site or if you find someone occupying it. Now as far as camping itself, it is dry camping but there are lots of services nearby. And yes, this is a very popular recreational park for the community but the trailhead and parking area, while close, are completely separate from the camping area. And the trails are great, for dog walking, hiking, and some biking. I was able to work using my ATT hotspot though I didn't save my connection speeds.

To make a reservation, start with the link provided in the listing. That takes you to the Skyline Park page.
NOTE: Please be aware that in order to make a reservation online you will be asked to register an account (if you don't have one) at checkout. That account is not with Buckeye but with Vermont Systems who runs the reservation portal.
Scroll down and select "RENT A CAMPSITE" - this will redirect you to the Vermont Systems page.
Select "CAMPSITE RENTALS" - This will take you to the Campsite and Ramada Rentals page.
NOTE: Reservations must be made at least 72 hours in advance; Walk-ups may be available; Max stay is 7 days in a 28 day period;
Under "Rental Search Criteria" select your "BEGIN DATE". Don't worry about the time or END DATE (it defaults to one day). Under Rental Class select "SKYLINE PARK CAMPSITE".
Then under "Additional Search Criteria", expand (click on) that section and select the number of NIGHTS you desire (1-7) and select the DISPLAY OPTION (listing, graphical, etc.).
Now, with all the information filled out, click on the "SEARCH" button. Depending on the display option you selected (you can select another option and search again if you want), you will see a list, or calendar, or the campground map (graphical). Availability should also be displayed, or if you are looking at the map, hover over the site and it will display the site details and availability. IF your selection is not available it will say "WAITLIST" which you probably don't want to select.
Click on an available site and it will be added to your "cart" at the bottom of the page. If you are done, select "ADD TO CART". At this point, you either need to LOGIN or REGISTER FOR A NEW ACCOUNT. Once you do either of those, it will request the purpose of reservation - enter "camping" if you like. This takes you to your shopping cart.
From the shopping cart, click on "PROCEED TO CHECKOUT" where you will be able to provide a payment method (VISA/MC/DISC), confirm your billing address, etc. Continue to the PAYMENT PAGE to enter your CC information. Once completed, you will receive a confirmation email from the City of Buckeye Recreation Department witth attachments containing your reservation.
