Rinshin -

Although many people don't realize it, Phoenix is the fifth largest city in the country (or is it fourth?) Saying "please recommend a campgournd in Phoenix" is like saying "please recommend a campground in Los Angeles". We need lots more info.

Like Scottsdale, there are no real campgrounds in metro Phoenix, as you would expect. But it doesn't sound like you need to be in metro Phoenix. You don't have to get far outside metro Phoenix to find a lot of interesting places. There are several of us in the Valley of the Sun who can offer advice, but we need some information from you in order to narrow it down.

1. Are you looking for boondocking locations with no hookups? Campgrounds out in the desert, with maybe full hookups but 20 miles from the city? Suburban sites with hoookups but no park amenities? Suburban site with full hookups and easy access to highways? A resort? On a lake? In the mountains? In other words, narrow it down for us - what is your preference for campground type? No matter what you are looking for, there are wonderful campgrounds here.

2. What activities would you like to find nearby? Hiking? Mountain climbing? Rafting/tubing? Museums? Sports? Restaurants?

3. Do you need to be near I-10, to make access to California easy?

4. The Valley is a big place, so location matters. Do you have a preference for east side, west side, far south side? The difference can easily be 30 miles. Where will you spend your week? How far are you willing to drive from your campground to your daily activities?

Help us out. We can help you in return, once we know your needs and preferences.

Bill
