Hands down the best state park campground I've ever been to! The grounds are immaculate, the staff is incredibly friendly and it's so peaceful. We stayed in site 25 and it's just perfect. The views are amazing and we loved seeing all the wildlife. We are sad to be leaving but have already decided if we come back to the area we are definitely staying here again. read more

Great hike. Fantastic views. Wonderful photo opportunities. I recommend that you go to this hike in the morning due to the weather here in Arizona. It's pretty hot even in the spring. read more

Such a cool spot. Easy to navigate. Bathrooms available. Beautiful view. The last time we went camping here, the weather was crazy and windy. I'd love to try again. read more

Weeks before reserving a site at Lost Dutchman State Park, I watched a Hulu show segment that covered the disappearance of a hiker who supposedly was searching for gold. That was creepy enough to avoid. Next thing you know it, we reserved a site. I was like oh snap. LMAO. We stayed at site 99 and had the perfect view of Superstition Mountains. I'd say it would be the perfect place for Hallows Eve. Our site had electric and water hookups. No sewer, but a dump station available at no additional cost. I highly recommend. Don't let the haunting stories discourage you. If you aren't an advanced hiker just don't push it. It's peaceful and felt I was far away from my reality. I have enjoyed the get away tremendously. read more

Great place to stay! Arizona State Parks are so nice, cleaned and raked after every stay and have beautiful views. Lots of campground hosts if you need help, or have questions. They also sell fire wood for $7 a bunch. The dump station is clean and well maintained. This particular campground is hard to get in so you'll need to book way in advance. Like 6 months ahead or more. A value at $25 per night (dry camping)! FYI for RV'ers, we are in space #2 which is super tight to back into. Google map before you book. We love this place!! read more

Lost Dutchman State Park is so beautiful with the Superstition Mountains for a backdrop. It looks like nothing more than a postcard! My sister wanted to do some hiking while visiting Arizona this weekend so what better place to take her then to Superstition Mountains famous for the lost Dutchman's treasure. There were a good amount of hiking trails available and we easily found a good trail to hike. We opted for the treasure loop trail because it only makes sense since we were looking for treasure. Also, since it was a pretty easy 2.4 mi hike. We brought my dog Bailey along and the trail was dog friendly. She had no problems going uphill but we did run into a huge tarantula. I carried her more of the way up from that point. There is a nice bench up top perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view you deserve Bailey had no problems going back down hill. I struggled more than she did read more

Great campground. Electric and water hookups; dump station on site. Nice spacious sites; amazing views. Great hikes right from the campground. We attended a ranger-led full moon hike that was spectacular. And speaking of spectacular--amazing sunsets, sunrises and moonrises. Right next to Goldfield Ghost Town, and not too far from Apache Junction. read more

It's beautiful. If you are close and need an escape, This is it! I wasn't expecting much so I thought the bathrooms and grounds were exceptionally cared for. Get your firewood from camp host early, we had to go to 4 different camp host before someone actually opened up their door to help us. This was at 6pm, the camp host are open (supposedly) from 8am-8pm read more

So worth the drive from Northern Calif. The campsites are clean and most are paved. Showers are clean, private and with have great water pressure. The camp hosts and volunteers keep immaculate care of the park. No trash. Can not beat the incredible views of the Superstition Mountains and the the sunsets. At $33 a night for hook up - totally a steal. Lots of trails for those who love to hike and/or walk. read more

Great park for a quick getaway from Phoenix. There are some well maintained sites and restrooms nearby with showers. Plan for passerby's if you have pets or ask for a more private site. It was perfect for us and our schnauzer. read more

Lost Dutchman Campground - Campsite #39 - Campgrounds Near Me - Apache Junction, Arizona

We have been coming down to camp for several years and this last visit we had concerns about the restrooms. The park has gotten busier and the restroom and shower facilities need an upgrade and most likely an additional facility for the upper loop. We camped there for a week and a toilet was out of order the entire time. They only fixed it once there was a leak. That meant the whole building was shut down which left one restroom open on the other side of camp. Instead of putting in a new section of tiny houses they should have build or upgraded the restroom. Of course I give the superstition 5 stars! It is a spectacular spot. read more

Wow!! All sites have a beautiful view, clean, quiet, connected to all trails right outside your site. Water and electric hookups at most sites. Bathrooms/showers not in convenient area though very clean. Two dump stations. Five minutes away from Goldfield, an original western town, a must to visit. We will make this an annual destination. read more

Lost Dutchman Campground - Superstition Mountains from our site. - Campgrounds Near Me - Apache Junction, Arizona

Beautiful park. We stayed here in our RV for 3 days. Apparently from what we were told by the rangers we got very lucky to just show up and get a power and water site. They only have a few sites with power and water and apparently they book up fast during this time of the year. They said had we been there a week earlier we would never get a site with hookups without a reservation so keep that in mind if you are coming during winter high season. All the sites have a decent amount of space and have great views of the dessert and the superstition mountains. The park is very well maintained and although we did not use any of the bathroom facilities their sites were very nice and level. Even their dump station was nicely setup with 2 lanes so no matter if your coming or going you can dump easily. They have several trails all over the park from easy to high difficulty. We did one of the easy trails and it was beautiful. Wish we could of spent more time here, but it was already book for the whole weekend. read more

Great campground with RV hookups (water and electrical) and dry camping spots $30/night. Dump station, fresh water, ranger station with some books, gifts, and information, ranger led hike and other educational programs. Perfect for fall and spring camping. read more

I am not a camper. I ended up using some of the campground facilities when I was here for a day hike. The campground area was kept up very nice with clear pathways and clearly labeled facilities. Lots of wildlife visible while walking through the campground area. If I were going to camp in AZ, this would be the place. read more

Beautiful campgrounds, HOWEVER, my picnic table was falling apart and the showers (the one I had to use was disgusting (hot water would not turn off, bug infested (mostly mothes, probably because of the steam). The other 3, 1 was occupied, 1 the door was broken (wouldn't close) the other was out of order.... so for $35 a night (plus 5ax and fee's, you decide..... read more

This is the nicest, cleanest, most friendliest-staffed state park I've been to yet. While it mostly caters to and has RV spots with and without hookups, the "Overflow" camping spots without hookups are closest to the Superstition Mountains themselves! Potable water is available, and multiple trash/recycling cans, but no bathrooms close enough in the overflow section. There are two bathrooms in the reserved camping areas; both with showers and outside utility sinks. HOT RUNNING WATER for both! One bathroom has showers accessible inside, but it's pretty cold in there (it's Dec. in AZ, so warm enough during the day, but cold at night). My wet face and hair were ice cold as the rest of me was under the running water...had to keep turning in circles and re-wetting my hair to stop from shivering. The other bathroom (near the group campground) has shower rooms out back that are accessible from the outside...I.e., shower w bench only, no sink, no mirror, no toilet. It's small enough that water splashes just about everywhere on the floor, so it takes some talent to put your pants on while keeping them dry. But, it's also easy to warm up the space w the steam from the shower, so it's comfortable. Best part about these shower rooms is that they face south and the sun is gloriously warming. There are multiple, multiple camp hosts here, the majority whom are retired RV folks that are extremely friendly, helpful, and HAPPY to be here. Campsites are IMMACULATE! Tables are wiped down, fire pits cleaned out, lovely orange AZ pea gravel is raked and leveled. It's like having the beds made in a hotel. Trashes are emptied every day. The wood they sell here tends to be wet, as in not "seasoned" and dry. It's a struggle just to keep the logs burning. LOTS of smoke. BUT there are 3 or 4 well-lit-at-night-camp host sites that have it available and the Ranger office has ICE! The cities of Apache Junction and Mesa are not too far away and easily accessible for groceries, laundry facilities and camping supplies. Ice is $1 cheaper in town than at the Ranger station. I liked it so much here that my initial 5-day stay has turned into two weeks. At $15/day, it's not too bad at all. :$ read more

If you are still thinking, don't... Book it. Awesome place for RV or just tent. They are heavily booked but if you missed your preferred dates keep checking their website. An available campsite may just pop out when someone cancels. read more

Super clan campground, with spaces a great distance apart. Clean and very well maintained. Clean restrooms and showers. Dumpsters and recycling offered. read more

I love this State Park. They would normally get 5 stars. They lose a star as they no longer have garbage and recycling availae in each loop. If I have to haul it to their central locationd6i am carrying one bag. No recycling. For what we pay taking out the garbage should be more convenient as we have limited space in our RV for garbage. read more

Wonderful staff, beautiful campground. This is located right at the base of the Superstition Mountains. They offer trail maps, night talks on the constellation, showers, outdoor sinks for dishes and your choice of electrical hook ups or not. Wonderful spot. read more

One of the best things you can do around Mesa, awesome hike to the top of the platue! Highly recommend visiting this state park!

We love this campground and are currently camping here. But the guy across from us is running his generator all day long. We are booked for 12 days, the same 12 days he is. But his idea of camping is watching his satellite TV all day with a generator in the non-electric site. Campground rules allow this from 8 am to 9 pm. When we drive hundreds of miles for peace and quiet this is hard to take! read more
