Twin Peaks Campground — Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument

There is limited generator use…8-10am and 4-6pm. There are solar collector showers in the bathrooms. I’m a disabled veteran, so with Access Pass this place is 10/night.

The area is amazing and the campground is also. Well laid out.

Concrete camp pad with gravel site. Above ground grill. Bathroom and solar heated showers.

Quiet, peaceful and majestic. The sky at night is so full of stars. The cacti are taller than my rig. There are many hiking trails. The rangers have lots of educational opportunities. There is no electric but you can use your generator during specific hours. There are water spigots throughout the park however there's only a fresh water threaded water hookup at the RV dump station. My cell signal was minimal, I was roaming off Mexican cell towers however I did have calling via satellite. I was able to use solar and generator power. Definitely a place I'd return to, I'd love to explore here more.

Large CG but many sites are just jammed together. I had claustrophobia just driving thur a lane or two. Never seen such a nested tight cg like this. Went back out to free BLM dispersed where my nearest neighbor was 500 ft away.

Organ Pipe Cactus NM is a treasure, and for a couple of working full-timers, this campground was perfect. 

We spent a long weekend here in site 24, which had a beautiful, unobstructed view of the sunset each night. Solar was ripping, even in February, and would be in any of the campsites. Nice picnic table and paved, level driveway made this feel a notch or two above most NPS sites. The dump station we only used once, but was looking brand new and worked perfectly. 

Quirk: packrats are pretty rampant here, so folks keep their hoods open and anyone who spends more than a night or two lights their undercarriage to scare the little guys away.

The campground is ringed by trailheads. A couple of roads give plenty of space for cyclers. It's a beautiful, beautiful spot. You're pretty far from groceries, so you'll wanna stock up before you come in.

Fun campground with great desert flora and fauna! It’s a pretty big campground and the spaces are kind of close together so definitely not the most private of places. There are lots of restrooms with running and and some solar showers as well. Lots of trails to hike right of the campground as well! Overall a nice campground.

Clean, quiet and very easy to pull your camper in/out. excellent hiking nearby and surrounded by pristine desert.

Semi private sites with cactus and other desert plants between sites. Quiet except for the guy next to me listening to audio books. Pull through concrete drives. Some of the restrooms have showers. Was very nice. Not hot but warm enough. Dogs allowed on some of the trails.

What you would expect of a national park campground. Clean, well maintained easy access, and quite. Good hiking great for kids.

Cons sites are close together. Little privacy and limited shad.

Get a full tank of gas before leaving Gila Bend !!!!

We had a good site looking south to the Sonoran Mountains and to the border area.

The facility is fine but the threat of packrats proved to be too much pressure; and, the lack of interpretive signage is a barrier to understanding this area.

Let's start with the rats--- the threat cannot be ignored-- or ignored at the peril of damage to your vehicle.

This area attracts hummingbirds.

We stayed 2 nights here and it was very beautiful. Sites are close together. Lots of trails off the campground. Wish there were more that allowed pets. Had a nice visitors center and a amphitheater with evening shows. Generator hours limited but it wasn’t too hot in beginning of April. Highly recommend.

Convenient location in the middle of the National Monument. Late Check-in was easy, camp hosts very nice and the restrooms clean and well kept.

We spent six days here in early March.  It was $10/night with our National Parks Pass.  All sites have a picnic table and grill.  No hook ups, but there is a dump station and water fill.  There are trash receptacles throughout the campground and several restrooms, some with solar showers.  The campground hosts do a great job keeping the campground spotless.

Several hiking trailheads are at the campground and get you up close with the desert landscape.  Great place for stargazing.  Seeing the border wall was interesting.

Very busy but nice campground. Had some great hiking on the edge of the campground which was a plus.

We van camp so we got an RV spot. We put up a screen room and that was okay with rangers since it did not have a floor. You may need to clarify with park ranger. Our site did not have a tent pad. Very pretty with good bathroom locations.

Very quiet. Dark sky. Nice bathrooms. Huge picnic table with large covering.

Great hikes, beautiful sunsets and spacious sites.

Wish there were more dog friendly trails, but that’s a park issue. Nice, level, paved , large sites. Generator area and hours. Neat visitor center within 1.5 walkable miles. Quiet, beautiful place. Be sure to take a drive😊

Everything here is just the way you want it good space between sites generators have to shut down at 6:00 p.m. and beautiful stars

We love it here and will be back. It’s very clean and there are lots of opportunities for recreation including stargazing and trails. Will be back.

We've really enjoyed our two nights of tent camping at the Twin Peaks Campground. Cost is $20/night regardless if you're tent camping or RV'ing. Campground has designated tent area (some with ramadas) that adds to peaceful desert experience. Hiking trails available from campground. Flush toilets and showers available. All around a great experience.

Great place to stay. No hookups so go when the weather isn't hot and you need a/c. Great 4x4 roads to explore the rugged but beautiful scenery!

Upon arriving during Covid we weren’t sure if we were going to get a spot with a covered table, but we were able to snag one. It was so cute and well kept. Plenty of space and distance between campsites. The bathrooms were nice and clean too.

After a winter storm prevented me from using my reservation at The Big Bend the past February I was faced with a dilemma. Where could I get a a site for 2 weeks with clean toilets, a place to wash the dishes and warm weather?

The answer was Twin Peaks!

Surrounded by the beautiful Sonora Desert, with hiking trails, the nearby towns of Why and Ajo it was an oasis from the IL winter.

The campground has been recent rebuilt, so everything was almost brand new. The staff kept it clean and it was not crowded.

I was able to get a site on a First Come basis without difficulty.

Unfortunately, due the pandemic, the showers were closed. Washroom facilities were closed on a rotating basis, but with 25% of the sites also closed, there was never a crowd or a wait. Fresh waster was 25 ft from my site.

After spending a day in Saguaro National Park we weren’t sure if this wouldn’t just be more of the same. Wrong! Loved all the trails within this National Monument and the whole vibe of the place. Sort of like Big Bend National Park in that it’s definitely your destination due to its remote location. But well worth the trip. Dry camping at Twin Peaks Campground within the facility was no issue with water still available even under COVID rules. We had 2 bars of LTE with Verizon most of the stay. Just time your stay in either early spring or late fall, otherwise the heat will be pretty overbearing.

 Although it is in the desert, the sites are well spaced. No utilities at the campsites, but plenty of water faucets and the restrooms were very well maintained. We hiked the trail out of the group campground and also the Victoria Mine trail. Beautiful desert sun set and sun rise.

This is the most sterile and organized campground I've ever encountered, overall, it isn't my style of camping. There are plenty of RV sites with full hookups, spots are organized so it is simple to get the right size spot. If you arrive after hours, there is a list of assigned and available sites for the night. Bathrooms are full amenity and very clean. The area is remarkable however. Good for road and gravel cycling and very photogenic.

This was a wonderfully refreshing stay in Early December. Reservations not required at this time, but are starting season on January 1st at recreation.gov. All sites were pull through and paved. This is a dry camp site, but there is access to get fresh water and there is a dump station that also has access to fill your fresh water tank. 

For those interested in cellular access, I had T-Mobile LTE coming off Mexico tower. My plan includes Free Unlimited data in Mexico
