Gilbert Ray Campground

Quiet, clean, a winner! I've stayed at this campground three times now. It's always such a pleasure to stay here. The bathrooms are clean, the people are nice, and the sites are well-spaced. Even managed to get a 23 mile bike ride through the desert today. Will definitely stay here again.

Gilbert Ray is a quiet, clean and well located campground for exploring Saguaro National Park and Tucson in general. We were in space #38 and it was perfect for our 25’ View and MINI road. The camp staff and hosts are very friendly. Cell reception was very good too.

Beautiful quiet campsite! Clean, spacious, and private sites, with clean bathrooms. I came in early July so it was self registration but the site was nearly empty at 5 when I arrived. Many campers arrived later in the evening. Gorgeous landscaping and desert views.

We’re loving this campground! It’s clean and the grounds are kept up beautifully. The sites are gravel. We found our site to be fairly level for our class B campervan... just a little adjustment needed. All sites seemed to be similar. Picnic table provided. No campfires allowed.

While we were there (6 nights) we had some very windy weather. Because the roads throughout are paved we were spared the dust-bowl effect when other campers passed by in their vehicles!

We love to hike and had no problem finding a decent, moderate hike to do each day right from the campground. The only negative to the campground is no showers. We’re self contained so we had no problem, but we would have used them if available. Nice quiet, beautiful setting away from any city noise and lights. Highly recommend!

This campground is quiet and clean. If you are camping around Tucson then this is the best place. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises. You are nestled in with the cacti. Fun to bike around the campground.
