Rose Canyon CG is beautiful, well-maintained, and staffed with friendly people. Kudos to all who make Rose Canyon a first-rate camping experience!

Loved this campground! Amazing secluded site, friendly staff and clean bathrooms. We had fun hiking around property and fishing on Rose Canyon Lake! We will definitely be back! :-)

Beautiful Campground.

Absolutely wonderful time, the park rangers were so incredibly nice and helpful. It made my wedding day so much more wonderful. Thank you!

Very quiet & relaxing weekend! The spot was great, the bathrooms were the cleanest I've ever seen on Mt Lemmon, the trash was emptied regularly and the area was very well kept. It was a great all-around experience!

We had great camp hosts!! They made sure we had everything we needed. Bathrooms were clean as well as the camping site. Not to mention the beautiful scenery. Very safe place.

I bring off a group of elementary kids to this spot every summer during our Adventure Week Camp. It's the perfect spot to run and play, build forts and explore the mountain. The huge ramada gives plenty of shade and tables for our crew. We didn't use the grills but there are a bunch of them. We DID get to use the fire pit this year and had a roaring good time making S'mores. The staff at the entry were friendly and helpful, the bathrooms surprisingly decent and the grounds very clean.

We held a small wedding at the beautiful amphitheater. You can't beat the sight for views and seating. The staff was amazing at greeting our guests, blocking parking, and checking in on us. The rocks are steep, which we knew, but could be a challenge to those with mobility issues. We loved that there were clean outhouse style restrooms and ample parking on a Monday morning.

We had a great spot for the campsite. Going for walks, playing cards, listening to radio and just kicking back was how we enjoyed our stay.

If you go camping often you'll find ways to enjoy it

Rose Canyon Lake Campground is very nice location in the summer to escape the heat. The campground is situated in the mountains with great trees and beautiful views of the night stars. The only item that would prevent it from 5 Stars is the restroom facilities. The odor can be smelled from around the campground.

James and Joyce maintain these sites well. We camp here every summer and the bathrooms were the cleanest they've ever been in the past few years we've camped here. Trash is taken out daily and bathrooms restocked with toilet paper. We can't wait to come back next year! Thanks!

We stayed in our 20 ft. RV over the Fourth of July weekend to avoid the firecracker craziness in Tucson that frightens our dog. What a pleasure to have the quiet forest to walk our dog and ride our bikes! We thought it might be extremely busy, but our campsite was very private and people were very respectful. Will definitely be back! The camp hosts and personnel at the front gate were helpful and nice.
@LauraL2163653 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #15
The area offers a nice respite from the summer heat of the Tucson area. My campsite, although near the bathroom offered no privacy from the neighbor camper. The parking spot was barely large enough for my Subaru. I would not select this campsite again, should I return.
@MaxineV6467B84 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #61
Had an amazing time. The place is just gorgeous. I took my two purebred Belgian malinois with me it was the first time camping they had a blast. I have to give props to the staff well most of the staff with the exception of one was amazing they're a wonderful it was nice to meet the other campers went fishing got a lot of bites A few people were catching fish. It was nice to meet the other people fishing. But I want to give a special thanks to this one particular man he was on the golf cart and he checked on me for I was camping alone and that was very nice and he conversated with me and made my stay peaceful and worth it I don't remember his name but I did tell him I was going to write a review and I'm sorry I don't remember your name but I just you know who you are and I want to say thank you for everything you made my stay a pleasant stay and I will be back.

Clean campsite, friendly hosts and a very friendly fishing community! Lots of free advice for new anglers. Great experience.
@KathyG2165616 · Camped on Jun 24, 2025 at Campsite #14
We have been reserving the same spot every year, and enjoying the simplicity camping has to offer. We did have a visitor several times during our stay, which we could have done without. A skunk kept appearing in the evenings, which made us a little uneasy, but all in all it was a very pleasant experience.
@PamelaP6535937 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #25
Site #25 is a lovely spacious space. It was perfect for our camping set up. We put the tent near the parking space (rather tha up the hill near the table.) We had plenty of room to use the camp kitchen in the back of the van. There is plenty of room for a second tent or shade structure up the hill where the park table, fire ring and bear box are. Site #26 is nearby -- making it easy for families and friends to camp together. Be sure to use the bear box. We saw a skunk, a chipmunk and a squirrel sneaking around. Beautiful view.

Great venue for a group event

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
