Showers Point Group Site - Mt Lemmon, Arizona

Apparently the previous reviewer, John B. did not like to be told to move his illegally parked vehicle and threatened Roger, the camphost, that he "would be sorry when he gets done with him." I was there that weekend and so was the Pima County Deputy Sheriff. She recorded the parking lot several times to show that there was no overflow parking allowed, thus... no money changed hands. Just a disgruntled customer that was asked to move his vehicle, then threatened the camphost in front of his friends. Then he left the only bad review that the host, Roger, has had in 7 years on several review sites. It takes more than that to ruin a good reputation. Now that l got that out here's the scoop about the campground. It is beautiful with stone ramadas and huge fireplaces at all 3 sites. Some have up to 3 grills and a fire pit for campfires. The bathrooms are always clean and some people say they are the cleanest on Mt Lemmon. Lots of deer, turkey, squirrels and chipmunk. The weather is usually 30° cooler than Tucson. There's clean drinkable running water at all the ramadas. It's just a great spot to take your family!

The campground is great. The camp host, not so much. Roger is his name and he loves to pretend to be an actual forest service employee. Even down to the shirt he wears. Roger claimed we had too many cars parked at the campsite but was more than happy to overlook the infraction for $120, which he pocketed. The reality, he is hired and managed by a third party. He is misogynistic and a control freak. He spoke very condescendingly to most of the women and children in our group.

Just returned from an amazing weekend in Mt Lemmon at Showers Point Group Site.

Top 3 reasons you should stay here
#1 - fantastic, amazing camp hosts - so kind and great info on how to keep the bears away
#2 - cleanest vault toilets I have ever seen. Not once did I see toilet paper or anything else on the floors or toilet seats.
#3 - well cared for campground. Again - clean. No litter and even the sticks and forest debris were tidy. Camp ring was cleaned out before we arrived. The Ramada fireplace was clean. the grills were clean. No spider webs, no forest mess - nothing. Just clean.

It’s very obvious that this campground is well lived and tended too. Which means that the campers are well tended to as well. Thank you for keeping this little forest oasis beautiful.

See you again soon!

This was a great experience, pine trees, cool nights, warm days,and fresh mountain air. plenty of space for our group. Toilets were clean and stocked even with all the kids in our group. The attendant was very friendly and brought some of our groups equipment down to their campsite. Would love to go back every year if I could.

Very clean and quiet sites. Hosts are always friendly and offer firewood for purchase. If you're bringing lots of camping gear I would suggest bringing a cart. All sites have fireplace and running water. Bathrooms are located between the 3 sites.

Very nice, quiet, clean site and facilities. The tent pads are spaced out and private. The common ramada has multiple BBQ grills, sturdy, counter height tables and a huge fire place. They provide ample bear proof storage for coolers and food boxes. The description online says that there is electric at each site, but we couldn't find it anywhere. The walk between the parking area and camp set up is a bit far so be prepared for lugging your gear to and from you vehicle.
