Because of its warm climate, Arizona is an ideal destination for outdoor camping. Southern cities like Tucson and Phoenix even have desert campgrounds that are warm enough for camping in the winter. Here are three of the best campgrounds in the state:
Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument
Located near the Mexico border, this campground can best be described as a "green" desert, as it is rich with organ pipe and saguaro cacti. It has more than 200 designated camping sites and rarely ever fills up due to its remote location.
The Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon attracts visitors from all over the world and has several campgrounds where people can stay to watch the sunset and sunrise over the impressive natural landscape. The largest camping area in the park is South Rim, which has more than 320 sites, as well as working toilets and potable water.
Hawley Lake
Those looking to camp in an area near the water should consider Hawley Lake in McNary. The campsites there feature grills, fire rings, tables, and restrooms, while the lake itself is great for fishing.
