The desert scenery from the Twin Peaks Campground is amazing!
The Perimeter Trail is 1.2 miles long and allows dogs.
The Palo Verde Trail leads to the visitor center and also allows dogs.
The amphiteater is large and holds ranger programs four nights a week in season.
The campground has a large dump station with potable water (tastes pretty good, too).
Try to get a site on the perimeter of the campground like this tent site with great views.
Some of the campsites have shade shelters for a tent or table.
A typical RV site has a long pad, a table, and a grill. And a cacti.
Look but don't touch! These cholla cacti have barbed spines that are very painful and difficult to remove.
This cactus wren spends its entire life on and among the cacti, and it seems not to mind the spines.
