4 Epic Winter RV Camping Destinations in Arizona

When Canada and the northern states head into the winter season, with its freezing temps and damp conditions, follow the birds (and the snowbirds) south for the winter. Our home state of Arizona is known for comfortably cool weather, vibrant deserts and clear hiking trails in the winter, perfect for outdoor adventures. Here are four of the best winter RV camping destinations to explore in your RV rental

Chiricahua National Monument

Known as “a wonderland of rocks,” Chiricahua features nearly 12,000 acres of scenic trails, bird watching and historic tours. The park’s rhyolite rock formations tower hundreds of feet in the air. Campers can take in the sites by car or explore the 17 miles of trails on foot. If you’re interested in learning the history behind the national monument, take a park ranger-led tour of the Faraway Ranch House. Onsite campsites are available for RVs up to 29 feet long.

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument

This thriving desert is located on the border of Mexico, roughly two hours south of Phoenix. While famous for its abundance of organ pipe cacti, the park is actually home to more than 30 species of cactus, as well as a flourishing wildlife population. Designated as an International Biosphere Reserve, conservationists and scientists are working to protect its precious ecosystem. RV camping is available at the Twin Peaks Campground — just a heads up that this a hookups-free site. As a popular winter camping destination, you’ll want to book your campsite in advance to ensure a space is available.
