About Campground

Madera Canyon makes a large dent in the northwest face of the Santa Rita Mountains. Its higher elevation grants relief to desert dwellers during the hot months and allows access to snow during the winter. A world-renowned location for bird watching, Madera Canyon is a major resting place for migrating species, while the extensive trail system of the Santa Rita Mountains is easily accessed from the Canyon's campground and picnic areas. Madera Canyon has a long and colorful history. The Friends of Madera Canyon, a cooperating volunteer group, has developed a small booklet that can be requested at the gatehouse. If you are interested in joining the group, please write: Friends of Madera Canyon , PO Box 1203, Green Valley, AZ 85622. This area is accessible to persons with disabilities.

Directions

Turn east off of I-19 at the Continental Exit 63. Follow the signs to Whitehouse Canyon Road and on to the Forest boundary, about 11 miles.

Beautiful area! I had a great time. Family friendly. If you are afraid of heights then you should feel safe here as it’s not high in elevation (the area I went to).

Amazing oasis in this harsh environment. And, the animals know this too ....like a zoo! Can't describe all I saw. Nice trails. Some paved and not. Creek running through. Numerous parking lots throughout the canyon. +A
