Camping

Imagine the true darkness that only pure, deep desert can provide. The star-filled skies above hold almost no glow from nearby cities, allowing amazing star and moon gazing. The stillness is broken only by the songs of the coyotes. 

The Twin Peaks Campground invites you to stay as your home away from home. We can take RVs up to 40 feet in length, but tenters are welcome too. Hookups for electricity,water, or sewer not available. Water is dispersed throughout the campground, with a dump-and-fill station and running water in the bathrooms.

Alamo Canyon Campground is set aside for tent campers and requires registration at the Kris Eggle Visitor Center

Tenters should ask about our Alamo Campground. It is a four (4) site car campground with no water, but wonderful scenic quality and serenity. It is first-come, first-serve only, and registrations must be made in person at the Kris Eggle Visitor Center before occupying a campsite.

We also have a group campground, contact the Kris Eggle Visitor Center to reserve a spot for your next get together with friends. (520) 387-6849. The cost is $5.00 per person, per night. There is no electricity in the sites, but the bathroom does have both running water and electricity.

Backcountry areas are closed indefinitely to overnight camping due to an increase in illegal border activity.

Did You Know?
Coyotes are highly intelligent animals that are well adapted to survive in almost any environment. They are among the most common animals spotted in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and you might hear them "singing" on any given night.
