Twin Peaks Campground

This park is fantastic. The spaces are a little closer together than we usually like, but they’re offset so it feels more open. We chose space 59 so we could run our generator at 8-10AM and 4-6PM. The diversity of cactus here is simply stunning and other-worldly. It was a bit windy to sit out at night but we enjoyed the Palo Verde Trail (dog friendly) hike to the visitor’s center. The 21 mile loop drive was also very informative and enjoyable. The Pipe Organ Cactus National Monument is worth the visit. We’d definitely come back.

Twin Peaks campground is the main campground in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Mysteries of Sonoran Desert life are slowly revealed and abundantly displayed at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. This International Biosphere Reserve is an ecorich collection of plants and animals that have adapted to living throughout this surprisingly diverse geological landscape. Scenic drives, wilderness hikes and camping can lead to unraveling the mysteries that await your discovery.

An excellent National Park/Monument campground. The sites and campground roads are paved and very well maintained. The Rangers and Camp Hosts are very friendly and helpful. The various programs and Ranger-led hikes are worthwhile. The Monumnet offers many wonderful hikes for all levels and many roads for sightseeing. We appreciate the "no reservations" policy as this frees us up from the tyranny of campground reservations. The sites are un-serviced but there are water spigots throughout the campground. Generator hours are 8 to 10 and 4 to 6 which means things don't get too obnoxious. There is a "no generator" section. The dump station is convenient to use. All the sites are pull through, most will accommodate any size of rig. There were signs cautioning you to be careful about migrants and smugglers but those people want to avoid detection and you will not see them. We felt perfectly safe (if anything, due to the presence of 400 Border Patrol Agents in the area, this is probably one of the safest campgrounds in the U.S.!) Verizon signal is excellent in the campground, we had no problem streaming video in HD!

This national park is being rediscovered after years of partial closure, and the park staff are trying to catch up by providing a really excellent experience. Sites are concrete and mostly level, surrounded by natural desert plants. All the sites face south, which puts your entry door facing west, so it can get hot in the afternoon as the sun sets. A sun shade and awning are helpful.

Bathrooms were very clean, the campground water was good, and the campground was generally very well maintained. No hookups but there are showers, fresh water spigots, and gray water dump points, as well as two regular dump stations. Lots of snowbird stay for the 14 day max in the peak winter season.

There is a generator-free section and a tents-only section too. Lots of birds visit the campground and perch or nest in the cactus.

The only negative we experienced was a few visitors with barking dogs. Our neighbors alerted the campground host after a few days of listening to the dogs barking. Since there's a large law enforcement presence here (due to proximity with the border), the dog owners got visited by two armed officers wearing bulletproof vests (although they were very polite).

A National Parks "Senior" or "Access" pass reduces the campsite rate by 50% -- a real bargain.

I don't have much to add to what others have said about this womderful campground. We love that there is a non generator section. The sites are all large pull through concrete driveways with a 3 foot wide "patio" so you don't have to step into gravel. The sites are spacious with lots of desert plants. This park offers many great programs throughout the day, including a nighttime star program. One of the best things is that they offer a hiker shuttle to a couple of trailhead do you can leave your vehicle at camp then hike back to camp from the trail head. Looking forward to staying here much longer next year when we have a Senior Pass. 😉

I stayed in Organ Pipe in late March and it was a great time of year to visit the Sonoran Desert. The campground was only about 20% full so it was very peaceful. Access was easy. Sites are pull-thru. I stayed in the generator section but solar ended up being all that I needed. Apparently, others found the same thing because I didn't hear anyone else using their generators either. The plant life in this campground is abundant, providing a beautiful and peaceful setting.

Note: We camped here in a tent. Not a surprise given all the other reviews, but we've always been really hesitant about giving 5 stars to a campground -- but this one is really fabulous! The sites are well designed, level, spacious and some have canopies for shade. We stayed in the Tent Only loop and got a beautiful, level site with picnic table and grill with a stunning view facing south, complete with natural cacti dividers between us and the next site. The bathrooms are the nicest Ive seen in a long time -- super clean and well maintained and fabulously hot showers powered by solar. The visitor center has a really impressive staff willing to help out with info on hikes, drives and lectures on this part of the Sonoran desert. We did the Ajo Mountain Drive and they gave us a great book outlining the drive and what we'd see, tips on what to bring, and advice for us taking the Prius on the 21 mile unpaved road trail.

Overall, I have no cons for this campground, and wish we could've stayed longer.

Set in the heart of Organ Pipe. This campground offers 21 day consecutive camping, level camping pads with sitting area, picnic table and BBQ.

Steps from the campsite is good hiking and a short drive takes you to some really nice hikes.

The campground is very clean and well maintained. The bathrooms are fresh and clean. Several offer solar showers.

There are no hookups but a nice dump and water fill station within the campground. Water spigots are also located throughout the park.

Be aware that this is very close to the border and you should be cautious while hiking.

Great park and glad we came.

Spectacular camping in the heart of the beautiful Sonoran Desert.

Campground is large and sort of awkwardly set up, but it's easy to get the hang of. All sites are pull through and are marked by the length of RV it can hold. There are three sections: generator, non-generator, and tent.

All the loops are close together so you can still hear the generators in the non-generator section. However, generator hours are short - two hours in the morning and two in the evening - so it was a non-issue.

There are two dump stations with potable water in the campground. There are also plentiful water spigots and bathrooms with solar showers. Everyone popped their hoods at night to keep out packrats, and many put out undercarriage lighting as well.

The Visitor Center is a short hike across the desert. Plentiful programs each day, from night sky watching to bat talks to an interview with border patrol. Free van tours and hiker shuttles also available. Park staff are always readily available.

Be sure to get up for sunrise - the Campground Trail is a nice hike to see it - and climb the Desert View Trail to catch the gorgeous sunsets over Mexico.

Though others talked of blazing fast Verizon 4G that wasn't my experience. I had two bars of moderately fast 4G - enough to work but not enough to video conference.

Top notch camping at Organ Pipe.

Organ Pipe Cactus Monument was our main destination on our month long trip. A definite must see. We were so surprise to see the desert so green. The campground was well thought out and very clean. Rv sites have paved pads, picnic tables and a stand up BBQ grill. Bathrooms are clean and solar showers are on site but we didn't use them.
We stayed in the non generator section which we loved. We didn't like getting yelled at for starting the truck at 7 pm though. Not a ranger, but someone informing us "nongenerators". Overall, everyone was friendly and just happy to be in such an amazing place.
If you're traveling with a dog be sure to carry tweezers. There is a bit of cholla around the campground and it was a bit of a challenge making sure our big dog was safe.
All in all, we can't wait to go back!
Oh, as others have mentioned be sure to have an international plan for your phone. Being so close to ththe border, our phones (att and Verizon) kept trying to connect to a tower in Mexico.
