Welcome to another campground review episode! Today we checked out the campground at Lost Dutchman State Park. We took a tour of the campground, explore some of the different campsites, visit the Visitor Center and see what some of the amenities are. Afterwards, we took a stroll along one of the many hiking trails that dot the area and viewed some of the local flora.
Lost Dutchman State Park is located in the Sonora Desert just east of the city of Phoenix. Nestled against the base of the Superstition Mountains, the views are stunning and iconic. No matter what camp site you choose, you're likely to have an amazing view of the Superstitions. Popular activities here are cycling around a 4 mile mountain bike loop trail and hiking the many trails, such as the Native Plant Trail or the Siphon Draw Trail to the top of the Flatiron. Bird and wildlife viewing are also popular activities at Lost Dutchman State Park. Mule deer, coyotes, javelinas, bobcats, and jackrabbits are some of the species that can be seen.
The campground at Lost Dutchman State Park has 138 campsites, each with a fire pit with adjustable grill and a picnic table. Half of the campsites have water with electric (50/30/20 amp) hookups for RVs and campers. There are no restrictions on RV size. Paved drives vary in size as do the graveled area for tent camping. It is advised to pay attention to the specified size details on the reservation site when booking a campsite.
In addition to water and electrical hookups, there is a dump station in the front of the park for RVs. Also located in the area is a Visitor Center where guests can purchase snacks, beverages and other necessities such as wood or ice.
The campground has several bathrooms with running water on the premises. Showers are available to registered campers free of charge.
Tent campers should make sure to bring some sort of tent pad to protect their tent and for comfort as the designated tent area is loose rocks and gravel. Some sites will likely only fit a two person or smaller tent so pay attention to tent pad sizes when booking your reservation.
