Favorite RV Park in the AZ mountains?

I like peace and quiet and pine trees, with some open spaces (not too dark) -- earthy vs a parking lot. I'd like to find a place with biking trails, fairly near a post office as I need to send orders out every day (5 miles away or so).

Thanks!

  • Dead Horse Ranch State Park in Cottonwood. Hiking, biking, fishing, horseback riding, great views. On the Verde river. Lots of stuff to do. A little hot right now (95-100). You can view the sites on their website. PO about 3 miles.
  • If you are wanting to be in the mountains, the cooler part of AZ in the summer with the parameters that you have I would suggest Fools Hollow Lake State Park.
  • Any of the Maricopa County Parks would suit you, along with most County Parks in the State! About the only thing they are lacking is sewer hook-up, but they have dumps.
  • Mt Lemmon outside Tucson. Mt Bigelow is dispersed camping in the woods with a few sites to fit an RV. No water, restrooms, or hookups, but it is free. Other campgrounds are fee. Rose Canyon Lake has been a favorite since I was a kid. Has a couple of a RV loops. All close for winter end of Oct. Town of Summerhaven is at the top (close by), as is Tucson. It is Coronado a National Forest so there are consecutive day stay limits (14 days).
