Campgrounds Just north of Fountain Hills lies the 21,099 acre McDowell Mountain Regional Park, one of the largest parks in the Maricopa County Park System. Elevations within the boundaries of McDowell Mountain Park range from 1600 feet to 3000 feet along the park's west boundary near the base of the McDowell Mountain Range. Two campgrounds are available for visitors. A 76 site family and group campground with hookups, restrooms and grills is located along the main road in the park. In winter the family campground is a popular destination for "snow birds," winter visitors who make the annual pilgrimage from their northern homelands to escape the cold weather. There is also a wilderness campground which is accessible by hiking trail from the family campground. The wilderness campground is visited primarily by overnight backpackers. Be prepared to pay an entrance fee at the park gate. Current rates are $3.00 per vehicle while a $1.00 fee is charged for visitors who enter on foot, horseback, or bicycle. The park officials impose a 14 day limited stay for campers. The rates are $15.00 per night. For further information about McDowell Mountain Regional Park call the Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department, McDowell Mountain Park offices, or visit the park's official web site online.
