AZ National Parks and Recreation Areas Great for RVers:

1. The Grand Canyon: everyone has heard of the Grand Canyon. It's not only a popular destination for those visiting Arizona, but it's a popular destination for those visiting from out of the country.

3. Lake Mead Nat. Rec. Area: This is a year round hot spot. Boaters, swimmers, fishermen, hikers, sightseers, photographers and more appreciate this area. Many enjoy experiencing the native plant life and animal life in the natural environment.

4. Petrified Forest Nat. Park: This is one of the world's largest collections of petrified wood. It's also one of the most colorful. Views of the Painted Desert, native plant life, fossils (some over 200 million years old), historic structures and archeological sites all appeal to visitors on different levels.

5. Saguaro National Park: Known for its enormous cacti dotting the horizon and the amazing views of the Arizona sunset this park area is the perfect place for travelers to experience the iconic giant saguaro, symbol of the American West.
