Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument

Organ Pipe; a national treasure

Nestled in the Sonoran desert along the Mexican border in central Arizona, this gem of the National Park System has an outstanding campground with great facilities. All sites are paved pull-thru sites, set among the desert trees, shrubs and cactus and feature picnic table and BBQ grill. Restrooms have flush toilets and some have solar showers. A dump station is conveniently located near the campground and numerous trails abound. Reservations are not accepted but according to staff, the campground rarely fills. While this monument has a relatively remote location, it has beautiful spring weather, an outstanding visitor center and several interesting drives and hikes. Supplies can be purchased in Ajo, about 30 miles away.
