    Didn't stay. The entire ground, all of it, was covered in glass shards. All the roads were bumpy and it smelled like a$$ :(

    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!

    A nice getaway! We reserved camping spot #11, and the site is on a slope. The pros about the site…read moreare you are away from people. The background is gorgeous with the pine trees and the mountain. The cons are going up and down to get camping gear from the parking area. The campsite is not recommended for the elderly or people with ambulatory challenges. Here are things to consider before camping at Rose Canyon Campground: 1. Bring a source of light (I.e., flashlight, headlight, and LED lantern light.) It's very dark at night, and there is no light source. 2. A gas camping grill. There is a fire ban during my stay. So that's mean can't BBQ and make a campfire. 3. Make a portable bathroom with a privacy tent. The campground has a vault toilet. It's a walk, and it's very dark at night. 4. Pack up on the hand sanitizer and baby wipes because there are no handwashing stations. Or you can make your own handwashing area. 5. Most important of all is to bring plenty of water. The campsite can be reserve and get info at -https://camprrm.com/parks/arizona/tucson/rose-canyon-campground/ Happy Camping!

    This WAS one of my favorite campgrounds…read more While checking in at Rose Canyon Campground 9/23/22 with my reservation, I was asked to show my Senior Annual Pass. I ALWAYS have my hangtag with my Senior Annual Pass to show. Shane, at kiosk, said Recreation.gov ONLY honors Senior Lifetime Pass. Shane charged me extra $52.00 because I didn't have a Senior Lifetime Pass. My friends behind me in their car were witnessing this transaction. After my camping trip up at Rose Canyon Campground, I went to Sabino Canyon Visitor Center to inquire about why Recreation.gov changed their Senior Passes and how I had to pay an additional fee of $52.00. The employees showed me their brochure which clearly states that my Senior Annual Pass was VALID and I should have NOT BEEN CHARGED the extra fees !. I promptly notified Recreation.gov and through lengthy emails, screen shots of charges, Rose Canyon Campground Facility Manager said that I DID NOT SHOW my Senior Annual Pass to Shane and that's why I was charged!!! WOW !!! MY FRIENDS WERE EYE WITNESSES THAT I SHOWED MY HANGTAG TO SHANE !!! I know the PROTOCOL because I camp a lot and KNOW TO SHOW MY HANGTAG WITH MY SENIOR ANNUAL PASS !!! Rose Canyon Campground Facility Manager has accused me of something I did not do in order for them NOT to reimburse me for the extra fees of $52.00. *** How many SENIOR CITIZENS have they done this to ??? SHAME ON YOU ROSE CANYON CAMPGROUND FACILITY MANAGER AND SHANE FOR EXTRA CHARGES AND TREATING A SENIOR CITIZEN FREQUENT CAMPER AT ROSE CANYON CAMPGROUND IN THIS MANNER !!!
