Setting: Large some with a covered patio, pads surrounded by desert plants and Pipe Organ Cactus , water is available throughout the park at about every other site, good cell service on AT&T, separate sites for tent  and generator sections, a good dump station. There’s is several  trail heads for hiking, a one-mile trail around the perimeter of the campground for dog walkers and runners, and a nice 1.3 mile trail down to the visitor center. Gas and a visit to Mexico are available in Lukeville, 5 miles away, and grocery and other provisions are available in Ajo, about 30 miles. Sites: 34 Tent sites, 46 RV no generator sites, 128 RV generator sites (25 x 36-45’) Our issue with the campground is the generator hours. 8-10am, and 4-6pm. Both times we’d rather be out exploring, but occasionally had to sit home and make sure we could run the generator.  Be sure to leave hood of your car up, it posted in the park, we didn’t and got a Pack Rat in the engine compartment.
