Apache Junction, Arizona Campground | Mesa / Apache Junction KOA

Teddy Roosevelt called the Superstition Mountains "the most beautiful panorama nature has created."

Teddy Roosevelt called the Superstition Mountains "the most beautiful panorama nature has created." You'll see why not far from the Mesa/Apache Junction KOA, where giant saguaro cacti rise from the Sonoran Desert floor against a backdrop of craggy granite ramparts. Drive the 145-mile Apache Trail loop, resplendent with deep canyons, rugged trails and pristine lakes. Also nearby, climb a short path up to ancient cliff-dweller Indian ruins at Tonto National Monument. Explore with off-road jeep tours or guided horseback rides into the foothills. Phoenix is 30 miles west of the campground, with great restaurants, museums and a choice of Major League Baseball spring training games. A heated pool, a hot tub, assorted games and fine hospitality await at KOA. Savor them as the sun sets over the mountains. Pool: Open all year. Max pull thru: 65 feet.

This was the third time we've stayed at this KOA in about 3 months and we will absolutely be coming back. The facility was amazing and the staff was very friendly. The view right outside our camper was spectacular. 1/22/2020

Stayed one nite. Clean and well maintained. Site was plenty long, but required some leveling. Staff was friendly and professional. Only one bathroom was available by pool. Felt comfortable, so will return when in the area. 1/22/2020

Everything was wonderful ! The only issue is the WiFi 1/21/2020

Love this Koa. I only live 10 min away. 1/21/2020

This was our first time towing and parking an RV. The staff was very helpful showing us to our site. The other campers were most helpful overseeing our set up and breakdown. Just wish it were more affordable. 1/20/2020

Great front desk people and very accommodating. As per the price for just 30 amp electric, it is too expensive for winter. 1/20/2020

Very brief one night stay. Campground basically full and well kept. Staff was very welcoming and shared great information. 1/20/2020

Great location in Apache Junction. Office personnel are friendly and helpful. We appreciate the water vending machine. The laundry appliances are clean. 1/19/2020

A rich vein of history runs through this region. The Apache Trail once served as a stage coach and freight wagon route from Mesa to Globe. Indians, cowboys and miners have all roamed the mysterious Superstition Mountains. Jacob Waltz's Lost Dutchman Mine is still waiting to be discovered in a hidden canyon.

Today, the Apache Trail remains a treasure chest of adventure. Discover here a most fascinating ecosystem. Experience the breathtaking canyons, desert lakes, towering saguaro cacti and desert wildflowers. Keep a sharp lookout for desert bighorn sheep, coyotes, and rattlesnakes.

It takes more than a day to do Apache Junction
Explore the intriguing history of the area by visiting the museums, prehistoric Native American ruins and a century-old stagecoach stop. At the ghost town, try your hand at panning for gold or take a ride through the desert on a narrow gauge railroad, and remember to take home some prickly pear fudge!

Hike mountain trails or book an off-road jeep tour. Catch the cowboy spirit on a horseback adventure. Fish a desert lake or float through narrow canyons on a steamboat. For dinner, loosen your belts at the old Mining Camp Restaurant or enjoy a Branson-style stage and dinner show. Stay and Play in Mother Nature's Theme Park!
