Go somewhere else
Overpriced, barren, barely a campsite. Mostly just a dirt parking spot in the desert N of Van Horn. We should have stayed in the little rv park in van horn instead. Sorry Al, nice try but just not what we expect for the price...

Uthman was a fantastic host. He made sure we had what we needed. We had a isolated spot that our dogs could roam and explore and they had a blast

Great campsite and hospitality!
We were very happy with this campsite. It was large and private, yet close to a 24/7 gas station and store in Plateau for any needs we might have. Uthman met us personally and showed us around the site, and even gave us some complimentary firewood. The site had a table and fire ring just as we needed. Our kids had a blast climbing the hills and exploring the topography. This was a great site and we definitely will come back when in the area!

Great Host, Amazing Views
Al is an awesome host who met me at the gate and guided me to the site. The night sky at his place is incredible, away from city lights. The location's history adds to its charm, perfect for exploring. What made it even better was making a new friend during my stay. Al creates a friendly atmosphere that enhances the experience. Overall, Apache Park and Trail offers a peaceful getaway with welcoming hospitality and stunning views. Highly recommend it. Thanks, Al, for the great time!

Tent camping in December
Al was a fantastic host. We drove in from Tucson and arrived about an hour late due to traffic… he met us at the Exxon and had us follow him about two miles north down his dirt road to the campsite. Very well put together. Had a fire ring, a bench, a table, and a trash can… as well as hundreds of open acres to enjoy the night. Al is an incredible person and I would 100% stay here again. Thanks Al!
