White
Tank Mountain Regional Park offers 40 individual sites with no water/electrical
hook-ups. Each is a "Semi-Developed" Site with a picnic
table, barbecue grill, a fire ring, and plenty of room
for camping. All restrooms offer flush toilets and
showers. All sites in the campground are available on
a first-come, first-served basis.
Nearly
30,000 acres makes this the largest regional park in Maricopa
County. Most of the park is made up of the rugged and
beautiful White Tank Mountains on the Valleys west side.
The range, deeply serrated with ridges and canyons, rises
sharply from its base to peak at over 4,000 feet. Infrequent
heavy rains cause flash floodwaters to plunge through
the canyons and pour onto the plain. These torrential
flows, pouring down chutes and dropping off ledges, have
scoured out a series of depressions, or tanks, in the
white granite rock below, thus giving the mountains their
name.
Large
camping groups can reserve a Group Campground.
