Arizona State Park camping fees

Depending on amenities the price would not be bad.
Some states including Washington has what is called a discovery pass that jacks up costs even more. Some charge for non-residents more then residents.

ok. Get your boondocking equipment ready.

Yes and no. You don't need a Discover Pass if you've paid for a campsite. You have full access to whatever park you are camping in with your campsite receipt. Now, if you're not camping, then yes, you'd need a Discover Pass.

oops

Lots of states are $45 +.

Yes, you need a discover pass if you have a toad. Once you unhook, you have to have one.

What is included - what type of site for that per night charge?
Bare bones or full hook-up???

State park near Williams AZ is $20 per site, no hookups and they charge an extra $15 to dump. The KOA down the road is only $5 more with all hookups.

Most of the Arizona State Parks offer water and electric and some even have full hook ups. We were at Buckskin Mountain SP last week and it was $30 for W&E, $33 for FHU's. This for a gorgeous park right on the Colorado River, lots of huge shade trees, grass and nice white sand beaches along the river.

Patagonia Lake, Roper Lake and Lost Dutchman are three more of our favorites and you usually have the option of non electric sites for around $17 with all of them having free dump stations.

Compared to much of the rest of the country Arizona is a bargain and the best part is we can use the parks year round... we just select the altitude that coincides with the weather.
