Madera Canyon Campground, Green Valley, AZ

 

P1040093

We’re so glad we spent the night at Madera Canyon. Managed to find a couple sites we could fit into that were fairly level. $10 a night with water only and vault toilets, but a lovely spot in the Santa Rita Mountains. We had a mini Lazy Daze get-together with Debbie and Chuck and Carla.

We were all a little tired from our hike the previous day, but we did walk up the canyon road to see the lodge, inn and B&B. Looks like some nice places to stay if you don’t want to camp. This is another popular birding area, so there are lots of feeders and benches to watch from.

You can hike to Mt. Wrightson, at over 9,000 ft but we didn’t. It was nice just to look at. Today we’re back in Tucson.

  1. What a nice place. I have never heard of it so thank you for sharing. Is that your anniversary edition Lazy Daze in the background?
