Comment

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument has tent and RV camp spots.  Most spots are large pull through camp spots.  Big rigs up to approximately 45 feet can be accommodated.  This is dry camping, hookups are not available.  The largest campground in the park is Twin Peaks Campground.  The park is open all year however, summer tempratures(around 105 degrees) tend to drive most RVers out of the area.  Winter tempratures are just fantastic(50 to 70 degrees) so make your visit between October and April.  The campground is located just a mile from the Kris Eggle Information Center.
