RV rental Phoenix Mountain Preserve, AZ: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Keen hikers are drawn to camping at Phoenix Mountain Preserve for one reason, and one reason only, and that is the sheer amount of fantastic and varied hikes available in such a small space. Rising 1,420 feet above sea level, Camelback Mountain is the tallest peak in the area, and perfect for visitors hoping to challenge themselves. Hikers can choose from two trails, either Echo Canyon or Cholla Trail, that will eventually lead to stunning panoramic views from the top of the mountain. Rated as difficult, hikers should be prepared for sections of rock-climbing, bouldering, and even scrabbling their way through the, sometimes, unclearly marked paths. Those looking for a slightly easier time while RV camping at Phoenix Mountain Preserve should make their way to Piestewa Peak, where the four-mile Freedom Trail provides an easy stroll around the base of the mountain and a glimpse at the area's fascinating desert flora and fauna. From the elusive desert tortoise and cottontail rabbits to the prickly pear cacti and palo verde trees, you're bound to see something you've never seen before on your adventures! Papago Park is where all of the mountain biking adventures take place. With a mixture of easy and intermediate trails, this is an excellent spot for any novice riders motorhome camping in the area. No matter which of the trails you decide to go for, whether it be the longer Ramada Loop or shorter Ranger Office Loop, you can enjoy views over the Desert Botanical Garden and can even catch a glimpse into Phoenix Zoo! Most of these trails are also open to horseriders. However, some of the most highly recommended trails reside in South Mountain Park, where the Desert Classic Trail, Javalina Trail, and the Ranger Trail are suitable for a mixture of ability levels.
