About

Please call the gift shop to reserve your campsite! We have a cool, shaded retreat for your picnic in the park. This wooded area, nestled in a narrow, steep-walled riparian canyon, was originally developed in 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps as part of its larger park-building initiative. Located below Colossal Cave, there are picnic areas to accommodate both large and small groups. The El Bosquecito and La Selvilla areas can host up to 72 and 96 people, respectively. The Cowboy Campground and Cowboy Ramada can accommodate up to 80 and 100 people. All sites feature picnic tables, fire pits, and grills, with restrooms and water available nearby. Didn't bring your lunch? No problem! The Terrace Café offers delicious grab-and-go Tucson specialties and other favorites, so pick your spot, relax, and listen to the birds serenade your meal. If you'd like to stay longer than a day, why not camp under the magnificent Sonoran skies? Campsites are tucked among towering saguaro cacti and mesquite trees in Posta Quemada Canyon, an area developed in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The campground includes four large areas—El Bosquecito, La Selvilla, Cowboy Campground, and Cowboy Ramada—plus 15 additional individual campsites. Camping Rates: • Tent Camping: $15 per tent, per night • Group Site Reservations: $150 per night (groups of more than 10 guests save money compared to individual rates!) • RV, Car, and Horse Trailer Camping: $15 per vehicle, per night Please note: • Park entrance and exit gates lock at 4 p.m. and reopen at 8 a.m. Special accommodations for opening and closing times may be available for large groups. • Group sites may also accommodate individual campers at the base rate of $15 per night, provided there are no existing reservations. Please check with the cave staff first. • At this time, we do not accept payments through Hipcamp.
