Catalina State Park - Tucson taken in November 2011.
This is a nice state park.
Most sites have water and electric. A few are without hookups.
It's very close to civilization but was quiet.
Sites and loops are paved.
The camping areas are on a very flat area of savannah grasslands with a scattering of mostly mesquite trees.
The Santa Catalina Mountains provide the background.
Loop A, which we prefer, has a more natural look.
Loop B has the feel of an RV park because the vegetation is kept cut down, and the sites are more in a straight row.
Our site, #A40:
GPS Coordinates: 32.42493, -110.92459
