Cool Pines, Excellent Camp Hosts!
Reviewed By Owen50We stayed from Wednesday to the following Monday in our Camper Van. The camp hosts cleaned the restrooms daily (twice during the weekend!). These were the cleanest pit toilets I have EVER experienced in my many years of experience. Somewhat primitive camping (no electric, roads are unpaved and can be a bit rough; especially after heavy rains). Every spot was taken Friday to Sunday afternoon. During the week-days, it was nearly empty (we were the only ones in our loop until Thursday night). The area is beautiful and peaceful.

Delicious food in a rustic atmosphere
Reviewed By JenG305Between the 6 of us we had both calzones and chili dogs. Both were tasty and filling plus by accident an extra meat calzone was brought which the waitress graciously gave to us as she said she couldn't sell it. Of course we also had to try the cookies and I can highly recommend the pumpkin nut, chocolate chip and the one that looks like a flower and has small cookies made from all the different kinds offered. Two in our group had the hot cider and it was excellent also. Great place to eat in the tiny town of Summerhaven.
3. Rose Canyon Lake Campground

Rose Canyon Campground is just 17 miles northeast of Tucson, AZ, off the Catalina Highway Scenic Drive near the summit of Mt. Lemmon. This area is popular for day use, as well as overnight camping. With a high elevation, forested setting, two group picnic areas, and opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, and fishing, Rose Canyon offers a great summer respite from the city.
Camp Host Ruined it
Reviewed By sahuaritaMomWe had rented 3 camp sites for our family. We used the middle campsite as our home base. The camp host drove up to our site after we had been there about 2 hours We were told 2 cars per site, which was fine. We were told multiple times that we weren’t parked right. There are no parking lines. The third time we were told all dogs on a leash. Now we did have two of our 6 dogs total, off leash, though they stayed within our camp even as people approached. The other dogs were teathered as we knew they would go out of the campsite. So we teather our other 2 dogs. Then the we saw the host’s dog without a leash. We were loading 3 vehicles to take down to the lake, it is obvious we are loading. Kids are putting ice chest, fishing gear in the card. Here comes camp host again that we can’t “park”. We weren’t parking! Then as we leave, we pull vehicles from the other campsite to load them. Here comes camp host again. Honestly felt as though we were being harassed by the multiple stops to correct our parking, in the dirt. With no markers
4. Whitetail Campground

Whitetail Campground offers group campsites in the foothills of the Catalina Mountains of Southeastern Arizona, 5 miles south of the town of Summerhaven and the top of Mt. Lemmon. Groups can enjoy picnicking, hiking, camping, and wildlife watching while enjoying a cool respite from the hot summer. The facility can accommodate groups for day or overnight use.
A Glorious 3 days at Whitetail Campground.
Reviewed By Peter CWe had our third extended-family camping trip at the Whitetail Campground this weekend, Space 2. The campground hosts were nice and patient. Everything is clean and orderly. There's plenty of electrical outlets. The tent sites are rock-hard sand so make sure your air mattress has its holes all patched up! Parking can be a bit tight.
5. Showers Point Group Campground
Catalina Highway, also known as General Hitchcock Highway and Sky Island Scenic Byway, is the only paved road that leads to the upper reaches of Mt. Lemmon and the Santa Catalina Range. It is one of the most scenic highways in the southwest and provides a popular day trip. Other notable attractions include Saguaro National Park, Sabino Canyon, and Colossal Cave.
