Description

Arizona Family Campout Program weekends are designed for families that have little or no experience camping. We provide the camping equipment, introduce you to the great experiences you can share with your family, and inspire you to continue to explore the great outdoors! You will learn how to set up a tent and an introduction to cooking outside, plus you will get to try some fun activities you can do while camping, like archery, mountain biking, hiking, geocaching, and more!

Registration is $90 for a family of up to four. Additional family members $5 each. One family per registration. For families greater than four, special arrangements are needed — please email campout@azstateparks.gov. Sorry, children 5 years and younger and pets cannot attend this program. Since this event focuses on learning to tent camp, RVs are not allowed. For more information on suggested food/supplies to bring, the cancellation policy, and reviews from past program participants, visit azstateparks.com/family-camp. Register at azstateparks.com/reserve.

  • Food (two lunches, one or two dinners, and one or two breakfasts)
  • Pots and pans, cutlery, plates and bowls
  • Refillable water bottles
  • Sleeping bags
  • Bedding and pillows
  • Sturdy shoes
  • Clothing appropriate to outdoor activities and weather

Accessible Campouts are Available!

Family Campout is about sharing the wonder of camping in nature with everyone, including people with all types of disabilities! Families who want to learn how to negotiate camping with a disability can sign up at least three weeks in advance and we will make any necessary arrangements. Our staff's vast knowledge of camping and outdoor activities will help you navigate your outdoor experience. Please email the Family Campout team at campout@azstateparks.gov with any accommodations you require.
