Gilbert Ray Campground

Enjoyed a nice one night stay here. It was beautiful, a little loopy on the road and the site was just a tad smaller than we're used to. The park is beautiful, it was very clean and quiet, the scenery was beautiful, the sunset was spectacular...and we would stay here again. It reminds us of Usery Park in Phoenix. We did pull in with a bigger fifth wheel that we just purchased, so maybe that's why the site seemed a tad smaller. We had electricity at the site and got water just across the street, so we felt like it was a full hookup. Well worth the stay. Next time we'll have to stay long enough to enjoy all that the Campground has to offer.

This is the most beautiful campground. The park is clean, well maintained, and the location is very close to Saguaro National Park-west side. And most importantly, the scenery is breathtaking! We had a little trouble with our confirmation email after having made reservations, which must be done through Pima County, online. When I called the campground phone number at the county, Vera was delightful; very kind and helpful. Before I had a chance to talk to Vera though, we went into the campground looking for help with our reservation and Tom was able to look it up and point us to the right campsite. He was also very kind and helpful. What lovely staff you all all have connected to this campground! Be aware, there isn’t water or sewer at each site but there is power and there are two dump s

Overall an amazing resource if you are visiting Tucson. Tons of hiking options right from your campsite. Walkable to the Tucson desert museum and several other trails. Sites vary, but are mostly good. The tent only sites have no electricity and require you to pitch a tent - but that seems to be loosely enforced. If you are in a vehicle and just need a spot for the night, just show up later and you should be fine. Bathrooms vary in terms of amenities - some are well maintained and have outdoor sinks with warm water for doing dishes, some do not. This campground used to have showers, but they are no longer there. Campground is surrounded by stunning Sonoran desert habitat and you are adjacent to the mountain park. 30 mins to downtown Tucson over Gates pass - unless you are in a large RV in w

Wonderful campground with outstanding staff and beautiful scenery, highly recommended! I especially want to give a big thank-you to Jodie (CTA). I accidentally left a steel wind shield from my camp stove at the campsite. I emailed the campground the same day, and Jodie replied promptly and kindly. I was able to come back the next day and retrieve my item with no issues at all. Would absolutely stay here again.

Great campground. The dump, the flush water is ridiculously low as non existent. If you want to flush your tank minimally it won't even do that. Pressure from not flushing a minute or two will build up on your next stop from feces in the pipe, and that's not fun. Terrible reservation policies, the feeling of being scammed of money from this county is apparent.
