45mi from Lakeview Campground · 29 sites · Tents, RVsWe have a cool shaded retreat for your picnic in the Park. It’s a wooded area in a narrow, steep-walled riparian canyon that was originally developed in 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps as part of their larger Park building initiative. Located below Colossal Cave, there are spots to accommodate large or small groups alike. The El Bosquecito and La Selvilla areas can entertain up to 72 and 96 people, respectively. The Cowboy Campground and Cowboy Ramada can also entertain up to 80 and 100 people. All have picnic tables, firepits and grills. Restrooms and water are also available at the group sites.
Didn’t bring your lunch? No problem. The Terrace Café has delicious grab-n-go Tucson specialties and other favorites, so pick your spot, relax, and listen for the birds to serenade your lunch.
If you’d like to spend more than just the day, why not camp here under the magnificent Sonoran skies? Campsites are tucked among the magnificent saguaro cacti and mesquite trees in Posta Quemada canyon, an area developed in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. These grounds consist of 4 large areas, El Bosquecito, La Selvilla, Cowboy Campground and Cowboy Ramada plus a number of smaller areas totaling 15 individual sites.
