Picacho - Tucson NW KOA Journey

Stayed only one night and the campground met our needs. Friendly staff, clean park, decent amenities; however, we did not use them. I paid for a site with a puppy pen which was an error on my part. My dog wanted nothing to do with it, so it just took up space. If I was going to pay extra, I should have gotten a spot with the upgraded patio/ deck. Those spots had cute furniture and fire pits. The location of the park is very close to I-10 and the freeway noise, mixed in with an occasional train, was noisy, but did not bother us. I would suggest some landscaping within the campground. The citrus trees were overgrown and bushy, which could make a nice home for rodents. Also our puppy pen site was overgrown with lantana, which was actually inside the enclosed dog area. Lantana is toxic to dogs.

NW of Tucson - full hookup, 50A, gravel spots, mostly level, each sight seemed to have a tree. Check in after-hours was easy - paperwork and map were waiting for us. Office/hosts are friendly and helpful. Offer a late checkout (from 11am to 12pm for a $10 fee - call before 10am). Good Verizon service - was able to conduct virtual work meetings and stream programming. Bathrooms were clean and showers were hot - bathroom could use an update, but were fine. Comfy stay. We camped at Picacho / Tucson NW KOA Journey in a Motorhome.

As with a lot of KOAs this park has seen better days. Ladies at check in were very nice, the old guy not so much. Right next to interstate and train tracks, so there is traffic noise 24/7. Park sits right behind a cow pasture and horse arena, corrals. Pretty much smells like you're parked in a stock yard. Dog park is a big dirt area, not kept up. Dog bag bin was over flowing with bagged and untagged poo. After a rain it's just a big mud pit. Can't see picacho peak, not much to look at except cows and horses. Sites are gravel, level.

Wonderful campground, kept in very good condition. The biggest downside is the endless noise from the proximity to the Interstate.

The kids weren't bothered by it. They loved the pool and the playground (which is really for younger kids).

I loved the cleanliness of the park and the customer service.

The sites can be small, but they were nice and level. The entire campground is crushed rock, which they grade every day from a golf cart.

We’ve stayed at this KOA over the last 4 years a handful of times, and always had a great experience. Small, but clean, well kept level sites. Roomy for our 42’ 5th wheel. FHU and 50 amp. Easy in and out pull through a. Great little store on site. Eloy is close by for groceries and necessities. Pool is nice, and the sunsets are perfect!

I’ve stayed here several times and always enjoy it. Most recent trip there was no water available so I had to fill before entering. Dump station worked though. Sites are nicely spaced and the views are great. Only downside is there isn’t anything close for shopping or restaurants. Not the end of the world though, it’s a very peaceful campground.

Very nice campground. Friendly staff escorted us to our site. Spacious sites are crushed stone with picnic table and fire ring. Some sites have concrete patios and even individual dog pens. We had no trouble getting level. All utilities worked as expected. Good WiFi signal. Good T-mobile signal. Wide roads are crushed stone and easy to navigate in any size rig. The park is nicely landscaped with trees, shrubs and cactus. Everything is very well maintained. Good signage from the highway. We were only here for one night, but would have been happy to stay longer.
