Molino Basin Campground — Hotel in Oro Valley

Beautiful setting and nicely maintained amenities (vault toilets, picnic tables and ramadas, grills / fire rings), but RV or van-capable sites are few and far between and fill up quickly in the afternoon so get here early for best availability. It’s a fairly busy place even on weekdays.

Watched deer up on the hillside in the morning. Would be 5 stars if...
