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 RV's up to 40 feet, but tenters are welcome too. Electricity is not available though water is dispersed throughout the campground, with a dump-and-fill station and running water in the bathrooms.

Tenters should ask about our Alamo Campground. It is a four site car camping ground with no water, but wonderful scenic quality and serenity. It is by reservation only, and reservations must be made in the Kris Eggle Visitor Center on the first day of the visit.
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 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?
Gila Monsters are one of only two species of poisonous lizards found in North America. You can find them in the late spring through early autumn at ORPI. They move really slow, and you have to try pretty hard to get bit. We don't recomend it. It hurts, and they don't let go.
