Comment

The RV park at the Pima County Fairgrounds.  The campground is seasonal being open from October through March with over 200 RV and tent camp spots.  Sites have electric and water only, no septic.  A dump station is available.  Campbase visited the Fairground after the campground had closed for the season however, we think it would be great fun to camp here during the fair.  Cell phone service is good in this area.  Camp spots are all level and big rigs of just about any size can be accommodated.  The fairgrounds has a bar and cantina but, a market is not available so bring everything you will need with you.  Fire rings and picnic tables are not provided.  Some trees are starting to grow but they are not yet large enough to provide any shade.  There are a few camping areas but, most camp spots do not have paved roads so it can get a bit dusty.  Pets are allowed.

Saguaro National Park is great for hiking and wildlife viewing.  They don't have any campgrounds so its best if you stay at the fairgrounds and drive to the national park.  Here is a link to the national parks web site:  https://www.nps.gov/sagu/index.htm
