My significant other and I pulled up to the Picacho/Tucson NW KOA about 3 weeks ago. We had JUST purchased our new travel trailer and were very excited about TRAVELING in it. However, we have not been able to leave this campground. We are KOA members, and are used to staying in the cabins, or camping; and we have had experienced wonderful KOA locations all around the country. Obviously, some better then others. But, Picacho is truly one of the best finds in the KOA world! The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, there are lots of fun activities for all ages, they even throw a weekly Bingo game for the residents, there's a restaurant on site, the bathrooms are very clean and it's comfortable to take a shower in there no matter when ( there's always hot water), the laundry facilities are open until nine p.m., the pool is very warm and nice to sit down by, there are humming bird feeders that hang around the property and you can find the birds flitting around all day! The BEST THING ABOUT PICACHO is the people who you're going to meet here! They are great! The owners and staff are AWESOME!!!! So are the residents. They are super friendly and helpful! Maybe you will get stuck here, too! read more

We chose this campground due to its close proximity to our home and our past experiences with KOA campgrounds. Unfortunately not all KOA's are created equal. Honestly I don't know where to start with the complaints...You are being watched at ALL times, there are cameras EVERYWHERE (creepy)! Our children were scolded by the staff on multiple different occasions, not allowed to play on the playground unsupervised and we were also informed towards the end of our trip that they were also not allowed to ride bikes unsupervised. Also there are cactus surrounding the playground and basketball courts, not safe for children (supervised or not.) The powered make it known who they are and constantly mention their "power." Ryan was especially rude to my children and husband on our last day of the trip. Out of the campgrounds control, but I feel the need to mention. The road noise is loud and the train runs at all hours of the day. Also there is a rooster that presently wakes everyone up around 4:30am. KOA's are generally extremely family friendly and the staff are always so helpful and pleasant. Sadly this place is not created like the others. If zero stars was an option I would have chosen that. read more

We've been here multiple times as a family. Staff is friendly and helpful. There is a playground, pool, laundry area, and clubhouse (puzzles, games, movies). There are areas for pets too. Everything is painted nicely and very clean. It's very welcoming and comfortable. read more

Shakedown cruise for our recently acquired used RV. An overnight to campground not to far out of town. Nicely laid out and well maintained campground right off the I-10. Family run business. Staff very accommodating and friendly. We got a 30Amp full hookup site. All equipment at the site in good shape. The common areas were closed due to Covid, and the layout made social distancing easy. A good bit of road noise from the I-10 and the railroad; but hey it's a campground close to the interstate, not a wilderness experience. A Good Sam affiliated campground. You won't go wrong staying here. read more

Under new ownership, owner very nice, and accommodating. Spaces are of decent size, we have 30ft 5th wheel and a Ram 2500longbed and it fit no problem. There is a steakhouse , although it closed due to the COVID. Vey clean and quiet. So clean they rake the sand. (Only ever seen that in the Corps). Only recommendation would be to have more than one dog run with grass. read more

Nice level spot long enough to stay connected since we were just passing through. Dog park was large and very clean. There are lots of activities for the kids. Did observe kids play corn hole swimming there is even a sand box with toy trucks to play with. Nice quiet place. Staff very friendly and we were escorted to our spot. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area. read more

So we knew that the location is by the freeway but we didn't know a train is going by also, every hour and the smell of horse manure from next door property . There's old cars and rv's abandoned in the back of the property and gives you a feel of a junkyard with all the dust included ( a little gravel here n there- but not enough to make a difference) I would not recommend this property, we expect the standard to be higher for koa but we're disappointed read more

Friendly & easy checkin. Clean, off of I 10 just far enough so very little to no road noise. Cute little gem!

Clean and well-kept grounds! Check-in was easy and we really appreciated the escort to our spot. We enjoyed having full hookups for our trailer and using our cute little patio, complete with patio furniture (booking the deluxe patio is totally worth it!). My son loved the playground and the sandbox with toys. The bathrooms were spotless. The location was very convenient to Picacho Peak State Park. Thanks for a great stay! read more

My husband has been taking our boys to this KOA as it is conveniently near our home. This weekend my husband needed me to drop off some keys he left behind. I did so but didn't get a chance to leave before an employee drove their golf cart up to my car and let me know to keep the speed to 5 mph. Honestly, I could have been going over that as I was looking for where my husband parked and wasn't looking as closely to the dash as I should have been. Regardless, I wasn't going an unsafe speed, but I accepted the admonition as I could have been going over. The next day, I needed to drop off my son to join his dad. I was super careful to watch my speed and being careful to look for and follow any rules. As I was leaving, another employee huffed her way to my vehicle to make sure that I knew that I needed to stop off at the office to get permission to enter the park despite that this isn't posted anywhere. She was clearly annoyed and wanted me to "put me in my place". She even rolled her eyes at my husband who is the nicest person on the planet. My husband's co-worker (who is camping next to us) asked the woman if his wife needed to check in or needed to get a pass for his wife who had been coming and going several times that weekend. She replied, "No, she was simply making an example out of the 'nice man's wife.'" And that his wife was fine to come and go as she pleased. My husband also let me know that he sees people regularly run around above the speed limit without issue, and this is the first time he has seen them have an issue with it or with people coming and going. I'm completely baffled by the employees' behavior and why one earth they decided to single me out for their little show of power. I was never disrespectful or attempting to do anything wrong. Clearly, they apply double standards and get off on making people feel like garbage for fun. I have worked in customer service for 25 years. I am a polite and respectful person. But I am not willing to be treated as a doormat for no good reason. No one should be mistreated like this. We will not be back and will recommend to our many colleagues who camp often to avoid this KOA. read more

We stayed at this KOA for a week. We LOVED every moment of our time spent here. We will be back!!

SuPeR clean! And Ryan was awesome and very accommodating! Highly recommend! Close to interstate so there is some road noise but was perfect for what we needed at the time. It was super hot so the open-during-Covid pool was great!! read more

Ryan in the office was great. He help us with getting checked in, advice on where to eat and what was around to see. Facilities and grounds were clean. Very quiet. Definitely would stay here again read more

Spent overnight here on 12/19/20 while we were on our way from CA to FL. We made the reservation online at around 4 pm for a 7pm same day arrival. We were met with Ryan who was very helpful and nice. This is the first time we've RV camped on our new to us RV. The place is so clean and my kids loved that they have a playground and a dog park. We will definitely be staying here again whenever we're on the I-10 & Tucson area. read more

We stayed at Picacho Peak RV Resort for one week. The park was nicely laid out, clean & well maintained. They have a beautiful pool & hot tub that we used during our stay. Our RV was on an end site with plenty of room. There was a privacy wall between us and the next RV. The property is at the base of Picacho Peak and adjacent to the State Park, so hiking was plentiful! The best part of our stay were the people! Everyone was so helpful and friendly. The downside, the park is RIGHT off I-10 & the noise from the interstate never stopped. Additionally, two train tracks also were heavily used and at night there was a lot of train traffic. Because of the friendly people we would consider staying there again. read more

This is our first time here at this little gem! New owners but don't let that scare you! They are doing an amazing job fixing this beautiful place up! Great RV sites as well as tents. Kid playground with heated pool. The staff and owners are super sweet and very helpful. Can't wait until next time! read more

Picacho / Tucson NW KOA - RV Parks Near Me - Picacho, Arizona

Don't fret about the highway noise! This location is SO Friendly. We had all questions answered over the phone and warmly welcomed on arrival. The owner advised us about spotty WiFi. Not a problem for us Becca use we had realistic expectations. They have small but beautifully maintained store and facilities. I always look for a little ice cream freezer- bingo! There is more space between sites than many KOA's we've stayed in. We wanted this location because we were passing through. It did not disappoint- we saw happy children riding bikes, folks our dog walking and generally being friendly. There are some negative reviews citing freeway noise. Personally I think it's fine- and if you can't tolerate it, well, ya should have looked at a map instead of complaining! Verizon service was great. We wanted to add a night because we felt safe and relaxed. At the time of this writing wood fired are allowed. Nice picnic tables, play area and a really great dog exercise area. read more

Second stay at Picacho KOA. The new owners are so warm and welcoming. Campgrounds were clean and we'll keep. Bathrooms super clean with showers. Enjoyed the pool all three days of our stay. Saturday night had a great bbq with owners and friends. What a great weekend. We will be back next year. read more

Beautiful place to stay! The sunset was amazing! Ryan, the owner, was so helpful and accommodating even though we came in later in the day. Helped me pump some air in a flat tire in the morning too! Highly recommend stopping here if you're traveling! Clean bathrooms and the onsite steakhouse should be open soon too! October at the latest I think he said! Beautiful clean pool too. read more

I checked in and immediately noticed that the person at the front desk was not wearing a mask. The person who showed us our spot was not wearing a mask either. I asked him if he would wear a mask and he responded "not on my property." I am very concerned about my health and cannot recommend a business that disregards customer health concerns. read more

Stayed in Kamping Kabin. Felicity had it fixed up with nightstand, lamps, heater, dresser and a TV. Super helpful with maps to nearby activities (Picacho Peak Park, Titan museum, Biosphere 2, all great!) Restrooms and pool are kept well maintained and very clean. The clubhouse is really nice with tables chairs, microwave, big screen TV, puzzles, movies, recliners. Great people, recommended. read more

Awesome place with very friendly new owners. Super clean bathrooms, lovely pool and there is always someone trimming, raking or otherwise sprucing up the place. The owner got up at 1am to let us into the dry cabin after a long and exhausting trip. For folks complaining about the dust... this is in Arizona. read more

Our second stop over at this RV park. Last time was about 4 years ago. This time arrived an hour late after dark because of a wreck on interstate 10 east. The owner Ryan came out to greet us (after hours) at 7:40pm. We were in a 45' Thor Tuscany pulling a car trailer so it was Bert appreciated when Ryan jumped on his golf cart to escort us to our space. This park is great for those RVers with longer than average pull through spaces needed. Although we left early next morning I saw many campers near the swimming pool area with kids already in the pool. The young owners have just purchased this RV park and I wish them the best of luck. Please give them a try. read more

We stayed here two nights in our truck and camper on a long trip home to Seattle from Georgia. This was a special find and by far the nicest KOA we found on our travels. The management was excellent and the facilities were so clean (a fresh bath mat in the showers!) and a heated pool! Had 2 great nights. Thanks for your hospitality! read more

We stayed one night in a tent site. The management was amazing. Took the kids for a ride in the golf cart and played with them at park. Pool was clean and the kids had a blast swimming and playing at the park. Tent site was spacious with a nice liktte swing. Would love to stay here again read more

This KOA has the friendliest staff and nice, clean facilities. One of the best KOAs we have been to.

First time here and everything was perfect. Nice people and a nice place! I will certainly visit here again!

This RV park in right next to I-10 and a train track. The truck and train noise is extremely loud. The park is clean and the staff are nice. It's only 'saving grace' is the chuck wagon restaurant, which is open for dinner. The closest restaurant is many miles away. If the noise doesn't bother you then you will like staying here. Prices are reasonable. read more

On Jan. 11th, after submitting a review, I received a nasty email from the owner. She would not leave me alone so I found it necessary to "block" her from my emails. It has been very unprofessional on her part. After a month, we decided to leave, so four sets of our friends cancelled their reservations and she charged two of them exorbitant fees ($85.00) to cancel, even though they cancelled days before the 48 hour deadline. They found it necessary to file complaints and have received partial refunds. This KOA owner needs to find a different profession! read more

Picacho / Tucson NW KOA - Poor drainage,as you can see after a night of sprinkles. 3 to 5 inches of standing water to slog through. Yuck - RV Parks Near Me - Picacho, Arizona

The owners seemed really nice but the old lady at the front desk was incredibly rude from the moment we walked thru the door. The dude on the golf cart wasn't very pleasant either. Those two probably shouldn't interact with the public. The store doesn't sell beer or wine. Come on, seriously? In the middle of the desert and people have put in a long day behind the wheel and you don't sell beer, that's just lame. The freeway noise was bad as were the trains, no biggie though. It also looks like they have some "extended stay" residents. They probably should make an effort to place overnighters out of the long term area. We were smack dab in the middle of it. I won't come back to this KOA. read more

Ryan was very friendly and helpful. We normally don't stop at KOA parks because we don't get the same discounts as other spots but I'm truly glad we did. Everything was very clean and I love their showers. Strong water pressure and plenty of hot water. Bathrooms were very clean and shower stalls roomy. Best we have seen anywhere. read more

I know what to expect when I step into a KOA cabin, but this KOA and cabin was a pleasant surprise. Frankie, the owner, was helpful from the phone call to our arrival. It was a last minute reservation, but we fully prepared with our own supplies and bedding. Walked in and found the bed was made and towels were provided. Frankie also made sure the air conditioner was on and cooling the room before we arrived. After our departure I called their office and left a message. They were quick to return my call. We will stay here again. read more

This KOA was very accommodating!! They were able to get our group of three large campers in on very short notice. Shirley was super sweet- she kept laundry open an extra hour so I could wash my daughters blanket before bed. The staff was very helpful at finding good trails near by. We will be back for sure!!! Thank you for an awesome trip!!! read more

We only stayed one night and this was a pleasant experience. Nice open fields around the campground with pastures with available access to walk around with your pets if you want to . Dog park has a cute agility course :) . Great cactus gardens all around the campground and a nice rustic resturaunt that even the locals go to for a good meal. You need a reservations the resturaunt and might need to wait a bit for your meal though . Staff was very pleasant and accommodating. Nice to experience. read more

As with all KOA's, this was up to the KOA standard, having flat, maintained, accessible site pads that allow you to level you RV easily. The staff, as in all KOA's, was friendly and helpful. Basic amenities available, although we did not use them. Yes, as another camper mentioned, the I-10 and a train tracks are nearby. This is similar to many KOA's and other RV parks, as the land is cheap which allows for the affordable price. My husband and I simply carry foam ear plugs in case we ever encounter a noisy park. Plugs in, happy sleepers. read more
