Spencer Canyon Campground

Friendly Park Ranger came by with firewood bundles for sale and to collect campsite fees. He warned us of the bears and encouraged us to use the bear boxes. Campsites are close enough to hear each other but not too close to be bothersome.

What a beautiful, incredibly special place. It feels like another world up there! We chose Spencer campground because it is first come first serve, and Rose Canyon Campground was booked out. Well now we're happy that we ended up at Spencer! The campsites are incredibly well-maintained, with the cleanest bathroom I've possibly ever seen at a campsite, and the park rangers were very kind and helpful. Not only that but there are such a variety of campsites, you can choose to be close to the road, close to the bathroom, close to other sites, or tucked away by yourself. We chose the tucked away by yourself option near Windy Peak, which is at the very end and has incredible views of Tucson. On our second day we also did the Box Canyon Trail, three leisurely hours in, and one and a half cardio h

Spent the night after a motorcycle ride up the old control road to Mt Lemon. Beautiful Campground, well maintained, clean facilities. Very big thank you to Angie who helped me out of a pickle. Absolutely recommend!

Beautiful camp ground with pretty big sites. They are in clusters of several sites together but still plenty of room. We went during the week and barely anyone was there. We did find a flatish place to put our pop up. But definitely more tent sites. We paid for 2 nights but ended up leaving after the first but only because it started raining for so long that everything was getting to be a muddy mess. I wish we could’ve stayed both nights. There was a fire ban so no fire but that was ok.

My partner and I went camping and stayed here, the paying station it’s pretty easy to use. For every station you get a bear box, “booth”, parking area and a woodfire area. There is also a couple of restrooms located all over the place so that’s nice. We had a really good little getaway at nature over here. It brought us closer to each other while we where able to appreciate all the beauty of nature.
