Beach camping in Arizona guide

Overview

Don't let the desert and lack of ocean shores fool you, beach camping is actually possible in Arizona. You may find cabins, glamping tents, RV and tent campsites just steps from rivers, lakes, and ponds. Head up to the Mogollon Rim to find 10 high-altitude lakes for a cool summertime getaway. Hiking, biking, fishing, and paddling opportunities abound. For a desert lake vacation, Saguaro Lake, Canyon Lake, Patagonia Lake, Lee's Ferry, and Apache Lake are popular destinations. Arizona state parks, national parks, and national forests offer public campgrounds with beach camping, while private campsites take you to hidden gems or put you a short drive to the shores. Other destinations include Lake Mead, Lake Havasu, or the Colorado River. Beach camping in Arizona may be a luxury glamping experience, with wifi, hot tubs, and deluxe patios. Or, get away from it all in a rustic campsite, just steps from the water.
