As with all the Maricopa Regional Parks, the sites are huge and well-kept. Our stay spanned the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, and even though the campgrounds were full, our neighbors were quiet and dark. However, the park abuts a residential area, and a barking dog as well as construction equipment back-up alarms interfered with some daytime peacefulness. The restrooms were clean and spacious, and the showers had good hot water, although the push-button didn’t last for very long at all, requiring a push almost every 10 seconds. There are many good trails, though to access them from the campground, you’ll need to start on the Cave Mine Trail or walk along the road each time, a two-mile roundtrip. Be sure to look for the Michelin Man, a segmented saguaro, along the Slate Trail 🙂 There is an active horse riding rental facility in the park, open every day. The Visitor Center has snacks/drinks, gifts, and a live animal display of snakes, a Gila monster, and a variety of spiders and scorpions. We attended the monthly feeding presentation, which was interesting and informative (check park website for listing of ranger-led activities.) The park’s north border is the south border for its sister park, Spur Cross Ranch, and can be accessed by a very long hike or a short drive. The camping fee/pass will cover entrance at Spur Cross, and it is a beautiful area for a hike. The town of Cave Creek is nearby and has all amenities. Verizon cell coverage was very strong, and there was plenty of OATV.
Critters spotted: great horned owl, ruby-crowned kinglet
Going to have to look for the ‘Michelin Man’ next time I’m out at Cave Creek!
