Patagonia Lake State Park

A very nice Arizona State Park with a clean, sandy swimming beach, two boat ramps, marina, a nice sand horshoe pit, picnic table and fire ring, water and electricity at each site and two dump stations up at the campground store. Most spaces are shaded but yet able to get travel trailers and motorhomes in without causing any damage.

Let me start by saying that we’re regulars at Patagonia Lake State Park - having camped here at least a half of a dozen times - and we will continue to be regulars here. The sites are spacious, the sunsets are gorgeous, they have boats you can rent (motorized and non-motorized), lots of hiking, fishing, a tall bridge you climb over with more views of the lake, lots of birds to watch, a swimming area and a beach - what more could you need?! The park is large enough that its a decent walk to get around the whole place, and it even has boat-up only tent camping spots that are secluded and awesome. The hikes are great for bird-watching fanatics, and the cows walk right up to you when hiking around the lake (a little creepy for me, ha - but they’re friendly!). Most sites have a fire pit, picnic table, 20, 30 or 50 amps, and water hookups. We’ve seen deer and coyotes right at our site, which is also fun! The East campground is a lot more secluded than the West, we’ve stayed in site #12 on the end which looks great on the map, however, it’s at the entrance to a popular bird watching side and next to a small parking lot, so you have people coming and going 24/7 (including very early in the morning), so we were woken up pretty early each day - so I don't recommend that spot. Spot #14 has a nice little entrance to the water behind it, so if you’re a fisherman you’d be in heaven here! Overall, this campground is a great little oasis in the desert! Easy access to boating rentals, swimming, fishing, hiking or just relaxing and watching the animals. You won’t regret stopping here!
