About This Region

Arizona offers exceptional RV camping opportunities across diverse landscapes from Sonoran Desert cactus forests to cool high-country pine forests. Whether you're seeking winter warmth in the low desert or summer relief in the mountains, RV camping in Arizona provides year-round adventures with modern amenities and stunning natural settings. Top campgrounds like Pinegrove near Flagstaff and Twin Peaks at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument showcase the state's variety. Pinegrove delivers cool elevation camping with lake access and clean facilities praised by hundreds of campers, while Twin Peaks offers iconic desert scenery with well-maintained sites perfect for winter exploration. Christopher Creek in the Rim Country adds creekside serenity with RV sites accommodating rigs up to 22 feet. Our curated selection includes 20 top-rated campgrounds spanning from the White Mountains to the Superstitions, each chosen for hookup availability, road access, and guest satisfaction. From full-hookup parks with 30-amp service to scenic dry camping spots near Grand Canyon, these campgrounds deliver the RV camping experiences Arizona is known for—spectacular desert sunsets, towering ponderosa pines, and star-filled night skies far from city lights.

RV campgrounds in Arizona range from full-service parks with hookups to rustic dry camping in national forests. Expect vault toilets or restroom facilities at most locations, with some offering flush toilets and showers. Higher-elevation campgrounds around Flagstaff, Payson, and the White Mountains provide electrical hookups and dump stations, while desert sites often emphasize spacious dry camping. The terrain varies dramatically from saguaro-studded desert at 2,000 feet to ponderosa pine forests above 7,000 feet elevation. Summer temperatures in Phoenix exceed 110°F, making high-country camping essential June through August. Winter transforms the desert into an RV paradise with mild 70°F days. Road access is generally excellent on paved routes, though some forest roads may challenge larger motorhomes. RV-specific infrastructure includes pull-through sites at popular campgrounds, dump stations, and some locations offering 30-amp electrical service. Site length limits vary from 16 feet at primitive spots to 45+ feet at developed campgrounds. Expect fees from $15-40 per night depending on amenities and season.

Best Time to Visit

The best time for RV camping in Arizona depends on elevation. Low desert campgrounds near Phoenix, Tucson, and Organ Pipe shine October through April with daytime temperatures in the 70s—perfect snowbird season. Summer desert camping is only viable with air conditioning and becomes dangerously hot. High-country campgrounds around Flagstaff, Payson, and the White Mountains offer the opposite pattern: May through September provides cool relief with temperatures in the 70s-80s, while many close entirely November through April due to snow. The shoulder months of April-May and September-October deliver the best combination of moderate weather statewide and lighter crowds. Popular winter destinations like Organ Pipe and lower elevation sites book 6 months ahead. Summer mountain campgrounds fill weekends but often have midweek availability. Monsoon season July-August brings afternoon thunderstorms across the state.
