RV Rental Oracle, AZ

Don’t miss Oracle State Park when you book a travel trailer rental in Oracle. Stretching across 3,948 acres on the northeastern foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains, the park has over 15 miles of hiking trails, and what’s interesting about the trails here is that several have different climates, wildlife, and plant life thanks to the varying elevations. Additionally, four miles of the Arizona National Scenic Trail pass through Oracle State Park. Besides being loved by hikers, the park is a great place for mountain bikers and those with horses. And although the park is a day-use only park, the fun doesn’t end when the sun goes down. Designated as an International Dark Sky Park by the International Dark-Sky Association, the American Avenue trailhead parking lot remains open throughout the night to accommodate stargazers.

Coronado National Forest is as stunning as it is diverse. Spreading across 1.78 million acres in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico, visitors can hike, camp, bird watch, go horseback riding, do some off-roading, check out historical areas, or just see the sites. Winter sports are possible at higher elevations. Mount Lemmon Ski Valley, at 9,157 feet, in the Santa Catalina Mountains is the southernmost ski area in the United States. You can even enjoy fishing and boating in this arid landscape at places such as Rose Canyon Lake.

The Arizona National Scenic Trail is a picturesque and diverse 800-mile trail that runs from Mexico to Utah and across Arizona. The trail links canyons, forests, mountains, deserts, and communities, and is sectioned off into 43 passages. Enjoy a short day hike, saddle up for a long-distance backpacking trip, or just ditch your Oracle RV rental and do the whole 800 miles in one fell swoop.

Although there are several natural areas and state parks in and around Oracle, it doesn’t take a scientist to tell you that you won’t be encountering any rain forests or oceans in southern Arizona. Unless you’re visiting Biosphere 2, that is! Biosphere 2 is a science research facility owned and operated by the University of Arizona. The goal of the center is to research and inform the masses about Earth, its living systems, and our place in the universe. Visitors can choose from a variety of tours in which they can wander through the facility’s rainforest, stand on the ocean overlook, or travel underground into one of the facility’s “lungs.” Check it out when you search for an RV in Pinal County.
