Getting Outdoors

Picacho State Park campers with California hunting licenses like to come here to hunt. However, if you plan on hunting a bigger game like deer or coyote, note that this is not permitted within the park’s boundaries. The only animals visitors are allowed to hunt are migratory bird species and quail. You're also not allowed to leave the bird’s carcass anywhere near the river or any other water source. Dogs are welcome to roam the park leash-free for hunting and training activities.

Camping at Picacho State Recreation Area

Picacho State Recreation Area's campgrounds are located on the eastern side of the park. There are over 50 campsites for tent and motorhome camping, but there are no hookups available here. Nearby, you'll find chemical toilets and solar-powered showers. Other amenities include drinking water, picnic tables, and fire rings.

Exploring the Area

Once your batteries are fully recharged and you've had enough of the rural environment, feel free to drive to Arizona and visit the town of Yuma. This is one of the closest places where you can find gas stations. If you're interested in dining options, Yuma features a number of Mexican and Chinese food restaurants, along with some of the most famous fast food brands, grills, and pizzerias.
