I prefer Tonto NF campgrounds. $10 to 12.50 a night with a Geezer pass. The 12.50 ones have showers. You can also find some free spots around Roosevelt Lake. There is also a NF campground at Tortilla Flat on highway 88 West of Apache Junction. But these are a considerable distance from Scottsdale 30 miles plus. Probably my favorite in Cholla NF campground on Roosevelt lake. The only thing you hear there at night in Coyotes.
If you're really brave you can do the Apache Trail with a truck camper :) Google Fish Creek Hill on Youtube. There's Burnt Corral campground on Apache Lake on the Apache trail with Spectacular scenery. But it's Gravel road (One lane in some places with Turnouts) to get there.
I stayed at Burro Creek on 93 for one night last winter. OK place but the only thing that works there is T Mobile.
