Reviews

For Gilbert Ray Campground Tucson Mountain Park: Gilbert Ray is an impeccably maintained, natural, spacious and beautiful campground. If you orient your camper just so, you can take in the mountains and wild desert vegetation as you awake. Electricity is available at each RV campsite and potable water is nearby. Tanks may be emptied also in a spacious area that can accommodate two RVSs at a time. There are no showers, but restrooms are within each of four loops. Aside from at least one site with ants, the maximum one-week respite is worth much more than the $20 nightly charge. Tucson may be close by, but it is invisible to the senses.

For Gilbert Ray Campground Tucson Mountain Park: Campground has electric and water and is very convenient to west side of Sagauro NP. Bathrooms left much to be desired. While clean the stalls themselves were built for pre-schoolers. There is plenty of room to make the stalls bigger but these were a joke

For Gilbert Ray Campground Tucson Mountain Park: Great experience here! Easy self check-in system. We stayed in the H loop which is first come, first serve. The view from ir campsite was great as you can see. Definitely bring bug spray to this area.

For Gilbert Ray Campground Tucson Mountain Park: We stayed here for three nights to visit Saguaro National Park. Being in the campground is like being in the park with fabulous views on all directions and beautiful sunsets. Staff were excellent including answering questions when we were making reservations. I got call backs and then checks to make sure we were called. The campground is clean with recycling and the sites are sufficiently apart. While water would have been nice the electrical hookup was a necessity to easily run our AC during the day. It’s next directly to the Western side of the Saguaro NP and about 35 minutes from the Eastern section. We were here April 13,14,15, 2021.

For Gilbert Ray Campground Tucson Mountain Park: Beautiful setting. Good quality sites that are spacious. Sites back up to desert,beautiful sunsets. Hiking from the campground was very nice. Hiked Brown mountain from site. Spectacular views. We drove to Tucson and rode different river trails on our bikes. Would definitely stay again. One downside is that we made a reservation online and when we got there someone was in our site. Nobody was in front to check us in because of Covid, and there was a note saying take any place that is open. We were lucky to find a place that we liked, but it was annoying since we had chosen our site carefully online.

For Gilbert Ray Campground Tucson Mountain Park: Important: New reservation system is nightmare!!! Not user friendly. When you make res with fees you aren’t guaranteed the site during “summer season” till Dec 1. Website states if your res site is taken (fcfs have priority) then take an empty site — come on, this isn’t right — Pima Co doesn’t know what they’re doing!!! Also, site poachers roam in after dark, leave at sunrise — not safe & no gate to discourage bad behavior. This management style puts campers in jeopardy so I left. Beware!

For Gilbert Ray Campground Tucson Mountain Park: One of my favorite AZ parks. Note: the park now is a reservation park not a first come first serve. They do have a few of non reserveable site in loop H at this time. Beware, the webpage for reservations is not user friendly
