Saguaro Skies FamCamp (Luke AFB—Phoenix, AZ)
$40/night
Lovely & big Air Force base. Nice overnighter; wish we could stay longer, but we are pushing to get to CA for an event. This is a great place to walk, jog, or ride bikes. Nice commissary, & went to the PX, but it was closing in 3 minutes (it closes at 6 pm). Looks like a typical PX. Gas on base is at least 35 cents higher than Sam’s off base. I was impressed by the cacti and other vegetation. The guy at check-in told hubby NOT to feed the birds (except hummingbirds), but I don’t know why. Saw sooooooo many birds just chilling in a field and all I could think of was Alfred Hitchcock.
Enter through the Litchfield gate (off Lightning Ave/Rd). You’ll take a right .5 miles at a flashing light, then a wide right at the stop sign. About a quarter of a mile on the left is the famcamp. Take the second left (the first is an exit only from the famcamp). You’ll see the RVs. The gate my GPS wanted me to take was closed. Once through the gate, follow the little brown sign to the famcamp. — at Luke AFB Famcamp.
