Customer Reviews
Absolutely love this State Park. It has it all for the adventures. So many hikes to pick from, for all fitness levels. Mountain biking trails. It's in a lush beautiful area oasis, but only short drive to all the aminaties Tuscon offers. A trip to the Biosphere 2 was great!! A drive up Mount Lemmon Hwy is incredible. So much to see and do.... Loved it, we will be back.
Clean facilities, easy parking, and help staff and volunteers at this park. I also appreciate the dog-friendliness. I love the variety of well-maintained trails that offer different levels of difficulty, length, and elevation gain. I spent about three hours in the park hiking with my dog.
February 2026 - People get pretty excited about this State Park. Hiking and scenery is excellent! Spacious campsites and quiet? Go “anywhere” else. This State Park calls the Ringtail Camping Loop “Rustic” - I call it BS!!! Ringtail is a dirt overflow lot period. Campers packed in like sardines in a can. Shame on Catalina. You should remove half the sites in Ringtail and manage it. Another example of the money hungry State Park System. Generators allowed 8am-8pm!!! People start the generators early and the hosts do nothing. The exhaust stinks and the noise is obnoxious. The retirees love this campground because restaurants, Walmart and Petco are across the street (Oracle) LOL. We have traveled a LOT. This is not our idea of camping. Again, hiking is beautiful, just know what you are booking
This is a really nice park . It’s close to lots of hiking and biking trails there are lots of trees. The spots are large with plenty of privacy. Relax and cut loose for a while. The bathrooms are nice and clean. There is a shopping center with Walmart, movie theater and restaurants right across the street. And Tucson only a few minutes down the road. There is wildlife wondering through your campsite and plenty of room if you have pets.
Hiking trails for all skill levels. Campgrounds and other public facilities are very nice. Well maintained park with very pleasant staff throughout.
