We made reservations to stay at the family campground Rv park. There a few of these Rv camping spots with different names throughout the park. We stayed in space 12 and it was a pull through. It had 30 or 50 amp and water hook up. They have a dump station as well but no hook ups for sewer at our spot. The spot was very nice and maintained. It had a concrete picnic table and a fire pit. The camp hosts made rounds in a pick up truck delivering fire wood if you wanted it. I believe they sell it at the camp host spot as well. We used a gas fire pit so no need for wood. We walked over to mule deer trail and the windmill and pond from our camp site and it was just over 3 miles round trip. The waterfall trail was a bit further. We drive to that and parked in the parking lot and hiked up to it. The hiking path has a concrete walk way halfway up the trail. There are sitting benches and tons of petroglyphs. We stayed two night and had great views at night of the city lights. Nice quiet state park to stay at. We would come back and stay again.
White Tanks is my favorite place to go! And the staff are really friendly! 😊 my mom and I love going on the black rock long loop trail and after the hike we go for a drive to see if we see any wildlife😊 so far we’ve seen deer, coyotes, bunnies, lizards, tortoise and javelinas and rattlesnakes
Absolutely beautiful. The trails are well groomed but rocky. Wear good hiking shoes or boots and bring plenty of water. There are a lot of trails to choose from depending on your level. There are shorter more well groomed trails like the waterfall trail or longer 9+ Mile trails with lots of elevation changes. Lots of wildlife to see on the trails and beautiful views. The library at the entrance of the park is also very nice. There is a great souvenir shop in the library as well.
Very nice place for a hike. They have trails that are easy to hard for something that suits every level. Just remember to bring more water than you think. Arizona is dry and the heat can take its toll fast.
Beautiful, and super quiet if you go at sunrise. This is the waterfall trail( only a waterfall when it rains)
Trail is 80% paved and wheelchair friendly. Lots of benches to rest, would consider this an easy trail.
Petroglyphs are plentiful and beautiful, but the disrespect shown to them in some places is sad.
