Twin Peaks Campground at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is a remote area where you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery of the Sonoran Desert and visit a true international biosphere reserve. It was rated a 5 of 5 stars on the Campendium and the Allstays apps. Many of the sites have cement pads, picnic tables, and raised barbecue grills. The days will be filled with hiking and mountain biking the many trails, or just relaxing by your campground. If you enjoy experiencing the excitement of the natural desert, this place is for you. 

Of course you can also take a drive into the small town of Ajo and visit the historical museum, play some golf on the community golf course, or grab something to eat at one of the local restaurants.

Bring your telescope for viewing the dark night sky. Naturally, we will have plenty of time for happy hours and socializing around the campfire. This is a laid back, dry camping rally at an area that is off the beaten path at a prized national park service area. During the winter, spots fill up fast since it is such a desirable campground. Reserved campsites are limited, so register now for this rally. There will also be a waiting list established after all sites are filled. 


Natural Features

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument exhibits an extraordinary collection of plants and animals of the Sonoran Desert. This is a showcase for creatures who have adapted themselves to the extreme temperatures, intense sunlight, and little rainfall that characterize this Southwest region. Thirty-one species of cactus have mastered the art of living in this place, including the park's namesake and the giant saguaro. Here the life of the Sonoran Desert is protected and allowed to flourish under nearly ideal wilderness conditions. The monument is an outstanding natural preserve where one of the Earth's major ecosystems survives almost unspoiled.

Recreation

Along with photography and birding, hiking is ideal here. There is a .9 mile perimeter trail around Twin Peaks Campground, and the 1.2 mile Desert View Trail located near the Group camping area. Beyond the campground area there are miles of trails laced around Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, some easy, others more strenuous. Some of the best hiking is off the beaten trails out in the canyons with a map and compass to guide you. Always carry water and snacks, and avoid hiking during the hottest parts of the day. More detailed trail information is available in the park newspaper and in person at the Kris Eggle Visitor Center.
