Picacho Tucson Nw Koa Journey

Very clean and organized, Everything clearly marked And in good condition. Freeway noise is pretty high.

Got in late, leaving early. Seems to be a very large and well accommodating KOA. I read reviews before and during to ensure the area was safe, but I noticed a lot of good reviews and a few bad ones. Note that the reviews I read speak about unregistered guests, which there is a sign as you come I. That says Registered Guests Only beyond this point. Clearly. Then the 5MPH signs are everywhere. And the paper you receive, if you bother to read it, states plainly no Marijuana and no visible alcohol. It’s a nice stop on the way to your destination. Enjoy it for just that and thank you for keeping it well maintained. Noise is loud because it’s location to the freeway and yes I thought I heard a train. Cool. That’s part of road tripping. The freeway is conveniently close for getting back on the road.

RV grounds are great,clean ,spacious and operational. Great views. Owners are great and willing to help.Thank you Tina and Ed Fugate from St Petersburg

Nice campground to duck in for a quite late afternoon and evening. Very quite. Not too close to hwy 10 where it could be real noisy. Even has a bit of a view of the mountains!

I waited quite a few months to write this review as I didn't want to rate this campground out of anger. Bottom line up front : we packed up and left mid stay as we felt very unsafe here with our children. The check in lady (sister of the owner who helps them out seasonally) was extremely nice. She was kind, accommodating, and friendly. We stayed a few nights in the spring to visit local national parks. It wasn't too full location is near the roadway and a horse paddock so one side of the campground gets a smell from horse manure. Not anything they can control, but see where your site is before parking. It's an older park, but they maintain it well. There is a playground and a pool. We used only the playground as my kids can play easily without an adult needing to control their every move. The internet is fine, but we need a secure network so we used our own network for work purposes. Unfortunately, one afternoon as our kids played at the playground, and as I was outside cleaning, kids came back saying the owner told them they could not be at the playground without an adult sitting there too. The campground is dead and we can see and hear them from the site, but fine. Okay, no problem... So husband takes a chair over to have eyes on and still work on his laptop as kids play. The host in the golf cart then proceeds to whip around the campground and an older man a few sites down comes to our site with his dog and tells me my kids are alone and need supervision at the playground. He had gone over and talked to my kids privately about this, but as my husband (watching them) couldn't hear his words he thought he was being friendly to the kids. I tell the man my husband is over watching them and he tells me no he's not and I'm shook he's fighting me when I know my husband is there watching. The man is allowing his dog to jump all over our front bumper which got scratched up and I told him to get his dog off the new truck that was only 2 months old (which we had to get buffed out). He told me he knew the owner and I knew then the owner had talked privately with him to complain about our kids and this man took it upon himself to unjustly harass us. The owner then comes over in her golf cart to tell my husband he can't sit where he is sitting because the grass edge is near a campsite. I explain we can't use our internet any farther away and we needed to sit here to watch the kids on the swings as she requested. She was upset, but left. We immediately packed up and left as we felt it was a very unsafe environment for kids. We full time travel and love KOA campgrounds for their family atmosphere, but this place is down right scary. Moved down the road to another place for peace of mind.
