Tucked between Phoenix and the Superstition Mountains, Scottsdale blends city and outdoor life. Start the day at a chic boutique, and end with a hike in the Arizona wilderness. With golfing, biking, horseback riding, and fishing, there’s always something to do. Local campgrounds and RV parks put you in the center of the action. Camp among the cacti at McDowell Mountain Regional Park. From your RV or tent camping site, hike and bike 40 miles of trails. Near Mesa, Usery Mountain Regional Park has 73 sites and a dump station.
