Another great AZ state park. Water & electric hookups, flush toilets and showers. Very clean and well kept. The views of the Superstition Mountains are amazing (site 94 had THE BEST VIEWS). You can hike into the Superstition Wilderness from the campground, a moderate hike with some elevation change, but nothing extreme. The Phoenix metro are is close enough for day trips, as is the Tonto National Forest and lakes.

This is our second AZ state park and did not disappoint. Very nice long, level back in sites with ample living areas. Fabulous views of the Superstition Mountains, nice trails and lovely nature walk. Clean bathrooms and friendly staff. Recommend the hike up to Flatiron Peak but start early before sun gets too hot. Also worth a trip to Canyon Lake, beautiful drive and lake is great for SUP, kayaking and boating. Tortilla Flat Superstition Saloon has amazing breakfast. Good WIFI connection via Verizon and ATT. Road bikes on mountain bike trail and over to Goldfield Mine.

This park is beautiful. The office staff super nice and helpful. We had wonderful stay on our cross country RV trip. Food store 10 minutes from camp plus gas and lots of stores. Frys grocery store nice and big but their pharmacy,,,, well don’t have an ex sent there you won’t get it filled!
What you can’t control are who your neighbors will be. Most great but some loud, noisy have friends over , tonight new RV has none stop loud barking dogs. I love dogs we have 2 ours are trained and don’t bark.
People drive cars pretty fast through park so if you have a child be careful.
I would definitely come back here but we live 2700 miles away !!
Beautiful Superstition Mtn!! Also the sites are made so you have to throw your power and water under the RV in order to set up to create privacy or your “ fun” space faces the road. Not sure how this was planned out!
Lots wildlife. Coyotes howling at night, bats, chipmunks, bunnies ...

We stayed here April 3-April 9 and it was HOT! We were not in an electric site, so it was miserable during the day since we’re not heat people. The big downside is the generator hours are only from 8a-10a & 5p-7p. Everyone with a generator was running them the full two-hours twice a day.
Since it was so hot, we would get up at 6a to hike and then try to be back during the generator hours.
Our site was well separated from the adjacent sites. Since we were in a trailer we did not use the public restrooms.
There are several hiking trails from the campground or a short drive away. There is also a very short mountain bike look around the outskirts of the campground. There are always rattlesnakes in this area. I have been to this campground before and both this time and the last, when out hiking have come across rattlesnakes.
We drove out Apache Trail road as far as it was open. It has been closed indefinitely due to a major fire and then downpour a couple of years ago. The drive is beautiful, especially if you make it to the end, which becomes a dirt road passable by a passenger car.

I can’t say anything about the restrooms snd showers, didn’t need them. I would definitely come back.

As stated before, it’s very difficult to get a spot here. We had hoped to camp here but ended up booking a dry site on the other side of Phoenix. After some camper issues we were desperate to find a site with 30 amp hook ups. A quick call had us in the last 30 amp spot for the only night available. We’re so happy we ended up here. ... more

We’re so happy we ended up here. Amazing views and hikes. There were some fun activists for the kids at the Goldfield Mines lest than a mile down the road. Our site (and most) had easy pull through access with water and electric. For the $35/night, you really can’t beat this place. We wish we could’ve stayed longer!
