Q: Can I make reservations for camping at Arizona State Parks?
A: Two our state parks now offer Camping Reservations for select sites. These two parks are Roper Lake (928) 428-6760 and Buckskin Mountain (928) 667-3231. Please call these parks directly to inquire about reservations.

Camping sites at all the other Arizona State Parks are on a first-come, first-serve basis, and are open year-round.

Q: Are there fees to enter the parks and to camp?
A: Yes, there are daily entrance fees into the park and camping fees if you wish to camp at the park. Most recreational parks charge per vehicle, so it is best to call the park and ask. For the historic parks, the charge is per person and some parks do offer group discounts. You can check our Fee Schedule for specific park fee information.

Q: Are pets allowed in the parks?
A: Yes, pets are welcome at Arizona State Parks, however, there are some rules that we ask you to follow. At all Arizona State Parks, we ask that you keep your pet on a leash at all times and clean up after them. At the historic parks, pets are not allowed in the buildings or museums. Also, pets are not allowed at Red Rock State Park and on the trails at Tonto Natural Bridge State Park. If you have any specific questions about pets at Arizona State Parks, please call the park you are interested in visiting. (All park phone numbers can be found looking at the State Parks map.)
