Black Canyon Campground

If you're looking for a family and pet-friendly RV campground in central Arizona, one that is close to both urban comfort and the untamed wilderness, then Black Canyon Campground is exactly what you need. After more than four decades of providing camping opportunities to the general public, Black Canyon Campground knows exactly what you're seeking and how to provide it. This RV park has a solar-heated outdoor swimming pool and a hot tub to match, plus books, games and movies you can borrow, and a playground and doggie park for everyone in your travel crew. You can use the laundry facilities as soon as you arrive and freshen up using the restrooms and showers.

Individual sites have cable TV for your enjoyment and Wi-Fi so you can web surf or catch up on email (or both). You can choose between 30 amp and 50 amp electricity when you book your site, and you can also stock up on propane or anything else you require at the camp convenience store. Sites can be rented by the day, week, or month, or for longer terms if you require a seasonal stay; the camp offers a number of discount programs, and you can contact them to find out more information about their rates and discounts. There are cabins for rent as well, and some of the sites are designed for tent camping.

As you move outwards from Black Canyon Campground, you'll find a number of attractions worth taking a closer look at. Wranglers Roost, located just a short distance south near New River, was a stagecoach stop in the late 1800s but was converted to a dude ranch in the 1930s and ran successfully during the Great Depression. Today it serves as a resort and horse rescue operation. Sunset Point, north and just shy of Bumble Bee, is a highway rest stop where you can picnic or take in the sunrises and sunsets. From the point, you'll have an unrestricted view of the Hoodoos, the most famous of them being Thor's Hammer, plus there are trails where you can hike. You'll also have a chance to watch the resident bird species such as swallows, ravens, and hawks soar beside the vibrant orange, yellow, and red limestone cliffs.
