Summary
It features 11 first-come, first-served established sites with picnic tables, fire rings, and pit toilets—no water, no hookups, and limited RV access due to tight roads. Dispersed camping is not allowed here. No reservations or permits needed; a small fee is required. Surrounded by pine and oak, it's a peaceful base for hiking nearby trails like Bug Spring and Green Mountain. Best visited May–October for milder temps and clear skies, this is a perfect retreat from Tucson's summer heat.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
