About

Patagonia Lake Campground sits within Patagonia Lake State Park, established in 1975 in the rolling hills of southeastern Arizona. The campground overlooks a scenic 265-acre man-made lake that stretches 2.5 miles long, offering excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, water skiing, and wildlife viewing. Visitors commonly spot whitetail deer roaming the hills and great blue herons along the shoreline. The campground features 105 developed campsites equipped with electric hookups (20/30 amp and 50 amp options), water, picnic tables, and fire rings with grills. Most sites include ramadas for shade, and site lengths vary to accommodate RVs of various sizes. Two non-electric sites are also available, measuring 22 feet in length. For those seeking a more secluded experience, 12 boat-in campsites are accessible only by water and include picnic tables and fire rings. Park amenities include modern restrooms with showers, a dump station, a swimming beach, and a marina store offering boat rentals, fishing licenses, bait, and ice. The park is located about an hour south of Tucson along State Route 82 between Patagonia and Nogales. With its combination of water recreation, desert scenery, and convenient facilities, Patagonia Lake Campground serves as an ideal destination for both relaxation and adventure in southern Arizona.
