Facilities

  • Notes
    • McDowell is on the top of a plateau NorthEast of the Phoenix area and North of Fountain Hills.
    • The pads were packed gravel and asphalt and in great condition. All the sites were level and accessible.
    • Each site is spacious with fire rings and tables. We assumed the additional space was provided for privacy as there are no trees and shrubs to provide plenty of space between neighboring pads.

What we liked / disliked

  • There is a covered playground and fun ‘snake slide’ for the kids, (see photo below)
  • The bathrooms and showers were clean with hot water.
  • The trails we walked were maintained and in good shape even after a couple of significant rains.
