Burro Creek Campground

Burro Creek Campground offers a unique escape where the rugged beauty of the Sonoran Desert meets the Mojave. Situated at an elevation of 1,913 feet along the flowing waters of Burro Creek, the area is defined by dramatic, saguaro-studded cliffs and steep canyon walls that contrast beautifully with the lush, dense vegetation found along the creek banks. It is a striking landscape perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in the raw, natural character of the Southwest.

Managed by the BLM, this primitive site provides essential amenities for a comfortable stay, including flush toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and a dump station. While the experience is rustic, the campground features access to water hookups and inviting pools formed by the creek, making it a refreshing oasis in the desert heat. Visitors can also enjoy on-site hiking trails that explore the surrounding canyon terrain.

This year-round destination is ideal for tent campers, RV travelers, and those interested in cabin rentals who prefer a primitive, off-the-beaten-path atmosphere. With a low fee of $10, it is a perfect spot for nature lovers and adventurers seeking a quiet, scenic retreat in the heart of Arizona’s desert wilderness.
