Tucson Dry Camping?

[HB2Havasu]

We’re kicking around the idea of going down to Tucson the week between Christmas & New Years and doing some Cave Exploring, Hiking, and maybe some SxS riding if there is any trails. I know jack squat about the area so any help would be awesome. Anyone have any places they would recommend for dry camping with a Truck / Toy Hauler in the Tucson area?

I like and stay in Catalina state park. No help on dry camping. @Flying_Lavey

I was thinking about it and I'm not too sure. There are a couple campgrounds on the way up to Mt. Lemon that don't have hook-up, but there is only 1 towards the bottom of the hill. Otherwise its quite a climb to get up to the upper campgrounds.

Sounds cool! We are planning on camping with the rooftop tent in southern AZ this winter also. I will keep this in mind.

I was thinking this or empire ranch just down the road. If you like people watching just camp at the Wally World on speedway and Kolb and watch the shit show.

I'm not sure man.... the clientele in the one off Park seems like it would be a better show. Lol!
