This was my first time here and it was such a cool experience! I loved every second of walking in the foothills of mountain! You can walk up close to the saguaros and take really neat and cool photos! We walked around a 3-4 mile ring that was amazing every step! I love seeing all the plants and nature around you! There was people all around but everyone keeps there distance so you feel like you’re alone there! It was a fun and neat experience !!! I will for sure be back! Very unique experience!!!

We have traveled the country over in our RV, and this is one of our all-time favorite places to be. Spectacular views, one of the best possible state park set ups with spacious gravel pads and wonderful views. It’s uncommon for a state park to have electric and water hook ups, but you will find them here. No dump hookups at the sites, but dump station is easily accessible. A bit far from town, which is the only drawback. We love that hiking trails are within feet of where we are camped. When the weather is delightful, be sure to get reservations well in advance. Will come back again!

We wanted to ensure we got in a couple of state parks around Tucson before we headed further west. After asking around and checking reviews we decided to check out Catalina State Park. One of the Important factors for us was dogs being allowed on the trails. The first trail we did What is the Romero Ruin Interpretive trail. This trail was only .4 miles/.9 km and a very easy walk. There are some stairs that you need to climb to get to the top however they are not difficult and nice and wide. The interpretive guide signs explaining The history were very clear to read and in good shape; not like some other places we have been to. We met a couple up there that explained about the pottery that was scattered about and if they didn’t show us what a piece looked like we would never of known; now we know what to look for. But once again please do not remove anything from the park and keep it there for others to enjoy! We spoke to one of the Rangers on our way in and he said his favourite spot to watch the sunset was on the ridge of Natures Trail. We parked and started this particular hike around 4:40 pm and got to a perfect spot where there was a rock to sit on to watch the sunset; which was scheduled for 5:20pm. It was a beautiful sunset like every Arizona night we have seen; it’s so nice to see it from different perspectives. We didn’t see too many animals while we were in the park however we did see a tiny gopher/marmot, coyote birds, horses and deer prints. The kids were looking for a snake although I don’t think they really wanted to find one as we have experienced rattlesnakes up close and they are kind of scary :-) Somebody on the trail told us to watch out for tarantulas- The only thing we really saw on the ground or lots and lots of ants. This was a great place to go and stretch your legs!

It’s a great park unless it rains or the snow melts. The bathhouse is clean. Lukewarm water but not bad. Nice hiking trails. Will we ever come back to this park well that’s a hard no for me. Will I stay away from parks where we have to cross a wash to enter said park oh hell yeah.

This is one of the best state parks I’ve been to in the United States. The scenery of the land is stellar. I hiked the canyon loop trail and there is so much to see along the way. The only issue with the park is that parking can sometimes be an issue. This is especially true on weekends. Overall, I would say it’s worth going.

Catalina State Park is always a good idea. As a local, I take my dogs regularly. Easy to find, trails are amazing. Some are shorter if you just want to lollygag and some are longer if you want to make a day out of it.

I added this stop at the last minute to break up the drive from Mesa AZ to Deming NM, and I’m so glad I did! The campground is well laid out, the folks in the visitors center are friendly and helpful. We loved that the RV spaces have plenty of room and the views from our campsite were spectacular. The showers were some of the best we’ve found in state parks. We chose to visit Saguaro NP rather than hike the trails within Catalina, but will do that the next time we’re passing through, which we definitely will do!!

Have lots of great memories hiking here, by myself and with family (we took a stroller once). Several, different trails right off the main parking. Would love to encounter more water. Very beautiful scenery, seems to be maintained well.

Many wonderful trail options located here. Wonderful hikes leading into Coronado National Forest. Arrive early and pack lots of water and snacks.

I've spent many wonderful times in that park and can't think of a more beautiful place in America when the sun comes over it. The forest Rangers are phenomenal, and the park is so well-cared-for.
