We weren’t sure how this was going to shake out. It was 108 in Tucson and I read that it would get cool in the mountains, but wow! The second we got to 5000 ft the temp started to drop and overnight I’d guess it was close to 65. Lovely sites! Definitely recommend camping here especially if you’re trying to escape the heat.

This campground was built long ago for tent camping. Most spots you park and walk to your site. Camp sites are nice and well maintained. There are a few sites that fit a small trailer. This campground is built on the side on the mountain and leveling a trailer is a task. Campground hosts do a great job keeping the place clean. Mount Lemon as a whole is not great for travel trailers. $26 a night is to steep for what you get.

This is a big place over 1 1/2 miles dirt road with very fine while dust. All tent sites only. We drove our 18ft class B and parked off a common parking and slept there. No shade for the vehicles but sites are somehow shaded, even though a fire last year damaged lots of the trees. Every time a vehicle drives by, dust flies everywhere. ... more
This is a big place over 1 1/2 miles dirt road with very fine while dust. All tent sites only. We drove our 18ft class B and parked off a common parking and slept there. No shade for the vehicles but sites are somehow shaded, even though a fire last year damaged lots of the trees. Every time a vehicle drives by, dust flies everywhere. It is about 15 degrees cooler than Tucson. From where we parked, we had the back doors open and could see the city lights at night. Very cool. One tiny spot had phone reception and data. Otherwise, nothing. AT&T was better than Verizon. One water faucet for 15 sites or about. Clean bathrooms but the high cost of $24.00 makes this campground a very poor value. That said, great location for hiking from.

This is the 2nd time staying at this campground. I loved both spots stay, but this spot was one the the best. The site was super clean and welcoming. The facilities there were clean and taken care of. The camp hosts are always friendly! We enjoyed both nights and all 3 days.
