Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights1 site open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, and hiking.
Whitetail Campground sits high on the slopes of the Santa Catalina Mountains in the Coronado National Forest, about 30 miles north of Tucson on Catalina Highway (the Sky Island Scenic Byway) and roughly five miles south of the small summit town of Summerhaven. At about 8,000 feet elevation the site is noticeably cooler than the desert below and shaded by stands of big ponderosa pines; campsites are roomy and spaced out to give groups a sense of privacy.
















Length limits vary by campsite.

Dr bruce S ★ 5 · Sep 2025Thanks Roger and Loretta… enjoyed it
Gregory M ★ 5 · Sep 2025This is a great spot because unlike others it is actually monitored. At Spencer canyon they forget you are there after sundown and it shows when there are issues with large parties. Here there are always large parties but they are checked by the host and rules are enforced so it is much more pleasant for all. Don’t come here if you want to have a free for all. Do come here if you are good with the rules and love a quiet and well equipped campground.
Anna M ★ 5 · Jul 2025Love the campground. Great amount of space and wonderful for large groups with kids. The camp host was wonderfully helpful and friendly. Loved the Ramada with electrical since there were no fires this but a power helped for cooking food and having a theater night for the kiddos. Can’t wait to book it again next year!
