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. If you want to combat the summer heat, you'll definitely want to drop by the city's amusement park, where you'll also find a water park with fun pools, slides, and rides. If the weather conditions aren’t exactly pool-friendly, you can still drop by and treat the kids to a day at the arcade, go-karts, batting cages, mini-golf, and more. Another place you should visit during your Picacho State Recreation camping trip is the Yuma Conservation Gardens. This lush garden showcases a variety of colorful plants and is also a natural habitat for birds, amphibians, and reptiles. Also located on the grounds is a museum of antique farming tools and machinery. At the Yuma Historical Society Museum of Aviation and Tourism, you can explore the former home of the Peach family. The Peaches immigrated to Yuma from Czechoslovakia in the early 20th century and owned a hotel, ladies' dress shop, and cleaning company. Their descendants still own the Historic Coronado Motor Hotel, as well as a nearby bar. The museum features an array of displays detailing local history, from ladies’ fashion items and World War II artifacts to tourism pamphlets and photos of Yuma from the last century.
