Loved it for our scout camping 101. Would go back. There is a first come first serve basis and a minimum fee $25 per night (single campsite). There are other multiple night options you can call and check. 200+ campsites for tents & RVs. Each site has a shaded ramada, fire ring with grill, picnic table, potable water, toilets, showers and playground. For water lovers, a paved boat launch with a courtesy dock RV dump station - check seasonal hours please.

I was…read moreexpecting it to be busy since it was a Sunday and a holiday weekend, but we went in the afternoon and tons of people were leaving when we were parking. The downside to that is that you are hiking in at the hottest part of the day. Which makes the water feel that much more refreshing. The hike isn't hard, you just follow the creek. Some people were in flip flops- which is doable, but the rocks can be quite slippery in places. Bring lots of water. There's some shade, but not tons. Oh- and watch out for the random cow. He's not friendly.

There is an awesome hiking spot here. You don't need a pass you can just park and hike. It's a bit…read moresteep in some areas but lots of people of all ages with dogs too.

So here's the cool thing: While most (all?) other campgrounds on Mt. Lemmon are closed during the…read morewinter and open in the summer, Molino Basin has a season that is just the opposite: open from November 1st through early May. During the closed season, the paved road system is only accessible to bikes and pedestrians, and no camping is allowed. Thanks to Google, here's some additional useful tidbits: This campground lies within the desert grassland and open oak woodland ecosystems, at an altitude of around 4,300 feet. There are 37 campsites which can accommodate trailers up to 22 feet in length. Camping (or day-use) costs $10.00 per vehicle, and all fees are payable at the time you occupy the site. There's a limit of two vehicles and ten persons per site, for up to 14 days. This accessible campground features rest rooms (the non-flushing kind), picnic areas, an Arizona Trail trailhead and a group-use site by reservation. So why do I dig this place? During the summer, I can haul my kids and their bikes to the campground and have miles of paved roads (and public restrooms) all to ourselves. I don't THINK we were even breaking any laws/rules by being there. Sure, we have to go early or we'll end up featured on the 5:00 news.

The camp host called me a few days before our reservation to confirm everything, go over the main details, and to ask me if I had any questions. I was greeted again by Bill when I arrived and had no problem finding the campsite. It's near the top of the mountain and the drive up is stunning. Our campsite had everything we needed including electricity. The huge fire ring is wonderful for a large group and the covered table area was wonderful. Bill and his wife serviced our outhouse multiple times while we were there and the trash was emptied regularly. Each site has it's own parking "lot" and there are sidewalks leading to the fire ring and ramada. I will definitely camp here again in the future and look forward to coming back! Hopefully Bill and his wife will still be there as they're the best camp hosts.
