Rolling through the northern foothills of Mt

Spencer Canyon Campground

The view of Tucson just passed the trees.

They have the best fudge at the gift shop down the road!

We found this near the camp while hiking though the woods.

A lower dispersed spot. All camps are large, some more private than others. The lower spots are protected, higher spots exposed. the elevation here makes for cool relief from the hot desert summer, but cold winter camping (by Tucson standards) think snow.

Mt. Bigelow Campground

The Santa Catalina Mountains is home to Mount Bigelow, a southwestern haven for sunny exploration and mountaineering

Sunset from a higher spot.. so many wild flowers at the end of summer. Monsoon storms hit this part of the mountain hard, so put you tent on high ground and be prepared to wait it out. The clouds also envelope the whole mountain, leaving you in thick fog.

Each spot has a large stone fire pit. These are built and maintained by campers. There is no use fee, so as always, super important to pack out everything you bring in, and keep it beautiful for all of us.

Palisades Ranger Residence Cabin

At nearly 6,000 feet, Palisades Ranger Residence Cabin is one of the highest-elevation campgrounds in all of Arizona

Showers Point Group Campground

A tent-only group campsite, Showers Point Campground is able to accommodate up to twenty five people at each of the site

Camping on the edge of an old foundation. Pretty steep drop at this spot, there is another large spot close to here that's a little less 'on the edge' 
Larger spot has two fire rings, more tree cover

Incinerator Ridge Campground

Incinerator Ridge is where you need to go for neverending views, a high camp on Mt

Pretty killer view from here, this photo was taken just before a thick fog overtook the mountain. Monsoon season is pretty stormy and magical, but usually it's a clear view and blue skies 'round these parts.

Rose Canyon Campground

Wake up to the morning dew tickling the evergreens at Rose Canyon Campground

General Hitchcock Campground

Lined by towering pines and canyon walls, General Hitchcock Campground is a small, yet efficient sheltered campground, secluded in confines of Bear Canyon

Gordon Hirabayashi Campground

Sewage Hookup

Horrible photo, but I forgot to take more. This was the supermoon rising over the campground. The sunrises were just ad stunning. 

Molino Campground

Considered to be a breathtaking getaway regardless of the season, Molino Basin Campground is situated alongside the banks of the like-named creek, overlooking a pastoral, savannah-like meadow of parched grass

Cactus Ramada Campground (No. 2)

Sabino Canyon Recreation Area offers a little bit of everything: towering mountains, dropping canyons, and plants you won't find elsewhere

Whitetail Campground

Who's ready to camp with 40 of your fave homies? How about 60? What about 90? There are sites to accomodate a crew as big as you wish at Whitetail Group Site

Showers

Coronado National Forest

If you think southern Arizona is nothing but parched desert, think again.

On the road from Portal, a half mile from the campground.

Tonto National Forest

Hike, bike, and camp in Arizona’s largest and most diverse national forest. 

This campground is great for small single-tent families, or big groups like ours. Even though most sites were full, we were far enough from other groups to have our own space and not be in the way. Photo taken with iPhone 6.

Cooling off after a day of biking on the Arizona Trail
