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.

Beautiful park with great trails. Loved the Alamo Loop…read more They need to train their campground hosts better. They drove passed a family with a live wood fire several times, which are prohibited. They didn't say anything to the grandparents constantly driving the UTV in circles around the campground for 3 days (wrong direction sometimes) and letting the grandkids steer. Then, at the dump station, there were 3 of us in line and the last guy who pulled out of the site closest to the dump blocked road exiting our loop and rather than making him go around and come back parked on the side, he made me move (middle vehicles) so the guy blocking the road could pull forward. If it's a flat area, we usually multi-task (hook up the tow car at the dump while rooting and rinsing the black tank) and we're done hooking up well before we're done emptying and rinsing the black tank. Not today. The Barney Fife campground host played the I'm in charge roll. Then after I moved he told me to move to a different spot that would have had me park off the asphalt in the dirt, which isn't allowed. What a putz.

I have been to Catalina State Park to hike Romero Pools twice now. There is a $20 parking fee for a…read morecar of 2-4 people, which is a bit pricey, but the hike is worth it! There are bathrooms that are kept relatively clean and stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer at the trailhead. The hike to Romero Pools is about 6 miles out and back, and it is hard to get lost on the trail. After the first mile, there are not any more trails intersecting with the Romero Pools trail. The trail is rocky but very rewarding, as you are able to see your progress of climbing the mountain almost the whole time. Last fall there was not any water in the pools, but this year with all the rain, we saw plenty of waterfalls, streams, and pools. It is very peaceful to sit by the water at the end, and some people I was with even went in the water. While I cannot speak much on the other trails in this park, I do recommend giving Romero Pools a try if you are up for morning adventure!

The hosts, Doc & Christine, were wonderful and very knowledgeable of the area. We loved the large, clean and spacious sites specially where we were with our back to the desert and the many hiking trails available directly from our campsite. We also enjoyed the many activities available such as trekking and sight seeing. Because of the spaciousness of the park, every morning and night we can see the sun rising and setting down. It is absolutely beautiful. We will come back and we strongly recommend this rv park. We camped here in a motorhome.

This trail will take you up to the Picacho Peak, which is pretty cool! There hasn't been a peak that I've hiked to in my life that wasn't awesome! Do know that this hike is not recommended for beginners. $10 fee for day use and the visitor center out front has lots of items for purchase like books, T shirts, postcards, etc. Bathrooms also available. Sunset trailhead is the last stop on the map the ranger gives you. Ample parking and bathrooms available. We met our hike leader Charles at 10am and started on this hike. And while this hike isnt that long, about 3 miles one way, do know that the last mile of the hike is a lot of climbing up with many railings to help you up. If you're afraid of heights or not comfortable with climbing, I don't recommend this hike. Bring gloves, super helpful! Also, once you get to the top, it is more windy and cold (bring a jacket)! We took a lot longer hiking as a group vs me doing this solo but that was ok. I learned a lot about the history of this park and that there was a Civil War battle out here and all the different kinds of plants out here. Overall, a lovely day to be outdoors and I really enjoyed this hike, it was like a mini baby Angel's Landing in Zion! Definitely come and hike a few of their trails, its so pretty with all the saguaros and chollas! I loved it!

The park was active: people walking the trails, fishing, several people walking their dogs and there was a group of people with their dogs getting dog training classes. The park still offers plenty of space to enjoy your time outdoors.

Our favorite is going around the scenic loop around water, spotting the ducks, geese and the birds. There are so many exotic Birds specially during the spring, it's a sight. The wildflowers are beautiful and the large trees create a perfect canopy during the summer. We love biking and hiking too, this park has a cute little waterfall and is a favorite among photographers for shoots. There are programs offered in the community center for the kids for summer break and also activities with nature which is nice specially since it's involved with nature. There is also a nice display and tribute to the veterans with some installation arts. This place is worth a visit and wish there were some kids play structure to add to the beauty.

Honestly, in our 20 years of camping and staying at koa campgrounds I can say that this is the…read moreworst one yet. We requested to be next to the other person in our party months ago when we booked and was told no problem. Instead we were rows apart. Check in host (short blond hair lady) was extremely rude when we brought an issue with our site to her attention. Spots are not level. Be prepared to spend an hour leveling your rig. Other reviews mention this but camp host says they've never had a complaint. Sure buddy. The bathrooms are very outdated and smell like mildew. Playground is very empty and outdated. It had one single bench for parents to sit on. One swing set with 3 swings and a small merry go round. Some major improvements can be done here since this is a family campground. I have never seen a koa without a play structure for the kids. Long term guest leave their dogs in their campers all day barking and management doesn't care. Also stay clear of the middle dryer if you plan on doing laundry. I had to run it three times at $2.25 for a 25 min cycle to dry the small load of laundry I did. Don't try to follow the map posted outside the office as it's wrong. There are basketball hoops and a horseshoe setup but they are in a very poor location- they would be much better up by the playground vs in the back by the dumpster. When we brought our concerns regarding the extremely un level sites and rude workers to koa corporate they brushed it off with the excuse "each koa is individually owned and operated" but yet they carry the koa name and drag it thru the mud. I will not be renewing our KOA membership after this experience and will make it a priority to try to not stay at KOAs after this.

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.
