Catalina State Park

Hey, overall we had a great weekend. Only 10 miles from our home, we went to take in the music from a local band during an occasional offering at Catalina State Park. But yes, it was as hot here as anywhere else within 50 miles. Due to the heat at 1800hrs, we chose to stay home and play Scrabble, however I heard it was a good concert ... more

RV Park Review – Catalina State Park Campground, Tucson AZ May 9, 2018 by Trout66 Arrival = 5/5. We stayed seven nights and paid $30 per night for partial hookups for our 33-foot motorhome. We also paid a $5 registration fee when making the reservation on Arizona’s State Park website. There were no separate park entrance fee whe... more

This is a gorgeous park with fabulous access to Tucson. The weather was rainy, cold & windy when we were there in mid February 2018, so we did not do any hiking. There is tons of other things to do nearby, so we were busy nonetheless. I was disappointed with our site, A8. The power pole is on the wrong side of the site, so our Trav... more

This was a wonderful state park and was close to Tucson. The park feels much more remote than it actually is. Directly across the street from the exit gate was a very upscale shopping area with many big box stores and In-n-out burger. The A loop was well cared for and the camp host checked on us a few times. All of the sites are spacio... more

This park was excellent! It’s perfectly located for everyone’s wants and needs. Nestled against the mountains, the park has a very naturistic feel. It’s very clean, well kept, and layed out nicely. They have lots of hiking trails, paved roads for biking, and tons activities within the park at different times. If you drive 5 minutes... more

The location is the main positive point. You are surrounded by the amazing mountains, cactuses, hiking and biking trails. You can road bike easily (we did the Rancho Vistoso drive loop). We camped in a 19ft Motorhome RV in the Ringtail campground, which is open until March 31st for overflow. No hookups, on dirt, very close to your n... more

Overall, this is an excellent campground. It is surrounded by dramatic mountains, offers fantastic hiking trails, is convenient to everything Tucson has to offer, and provides very nice sites. The only downside is the lack of full hook ups, but that's not really a big deal to us. What did suck was that our first site (23A) was not ... more

This park has a great location for any town-type things you might need to do. And it is tidy and clean and well laid out. The Romero Canyon trail is great. And there is now a link to the bike path right at the entrance to the park, so you don't have to cross the road to get to it. The sites are very open with little shade. Site 75... more

Bathrooms clean and in good condition. Very positive experience. Only thing, people might complain is that there are no fire rings and you are not allowed to use wood on the bbq stands. We just switched to propane when we were told to put out the wood fire. You can here some traffic from the road, not annoying but definitely n... more

The hills and mountains are beautiful. We were able to get in a couple of nice hikes. The campground is located near all the stores and convinces. Our site was a back-in with water and electricity. Both worked great. Parking pad was asphalt and very level. Our site included some trees, sandy dirt and thousands of ants! We had to p... more
