Best Time to Camp at Sites 105-134 Campground

The desert keeps two completely different personalities depending on when you visit. October through April is your sweet spot—comfortable days, cool nights, and that crystalline desert air that makes the stars look close enough to touch. Spring steals the show when the wildflowers explode across the landscape and temperatures sit in that Goldilocks zone perfect for tackling the trails. Summer? That's when the Sonoran flexes its muscles with the kind of heat that sends most campers packing, though some desert devotees wouldn't have it any other way.

About Sites 105-134 Campground

Sites 105-134 claim the best real estate at Lost Dutchman: the upper rustic loop where the legendary Superstition Mountains erupt from the desert floor in a display that never gets old. This is where campers come for the kind of quiet that lets you hear the desert breathe, paired with panoramic views that turn every sunrise and sunset into a reason to drop everything and just watch.

Lost Dutchman State Park has 135 campsites, including 68 sites with electric and water hookups and the remainder non-hookup sites on paved roads for tents or RVs. The park also offers three group camping areas and five cabins for rent.

Historical Significance

Lost Dutchman State Park is associated with the legend of the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine and sits near Goldfield Ghost Town, reflecting the area's late-19th-century gold-mining history and regional mining heritage.

Weather and SeasonsThe desert keeps two completely different personalities depending on when you visit. October through April is your sweet spot—comfortable days, cool nights, and that crystalline desert air that makes the stars look close enough to touch. Spring steals the show when the wildflowers explode across the landscape and temperatures sit in that Goldilocks zone perfect for tackling the trails. Summer? That's when the Sonoran flexes its muscles with the kind of heat that sends most campers packing, though some desert devotees wouldn't have it any other way.

Natural Features and SceneryStep out of your tent or RV into a living postcard of the Sonoran Desert. Giant saguaros stand like ancient guardians between campsites, while jumping cholla and feathery palo verde trees create that authentic desert tapestry you've been dreaming about. The Superstition Mountains dominate the skyline with their mysterious, craggy profiles—the same peaks that launched a thousand gold rush legends. Keep your eyes open during the golden hours: desert cottontails bounce between the brush, roadrunners sprint past on their morning commutes, and if you're lucky, a coyote might trot through at twilight, completely unbothered by your presence.
