Large groups can reserve the Desert Tortoise Group Campground. The Group Campground includes a parking area for RVs, picnic tables, and ramadas. The use of this area is by reservation only and requires a minimum commitment of 10 camping units.

Boat-in camping is available at the 10 Lane Parking Lot. Roughly 30 assigned parking spaces have been designated for such use. Each camping/parking space is approximately 45 feet long by 12 ft. wide to accommodate most boat trailers and towing vehicles. Reservations are required. Day-of availability is on a first-come, first-served basis, and can only be reserved during business hours at the park.

Boaters must camp on the waters of Lake Pleasant – no shoreline camping available at this time. Camping is not permitted within the parking lot/camp space. Boat-in camping is a great option for fisherman looking to fish in the late evening/early morning hours. Boat-in campers must arrive and check-in before the park closes at night (8 pm).

4worldlovers: Pinnacle Farms is a combined 17 acres, 7 of which are located at the Base of South Mountain at 27th Ave and Dobbins, and a 10 acre field in Waddell under the White tanks. The historic orchard property in Laveen came with a falling down 1918 adobe home, abandoned for many years prior. Now known as Pinnacle Farms South, I purchased the property in 2011, and it is re-developed into a mixed fruit orchard with over 1200 trees, including peaches and rare Maktoom Dates brought from Iraq in 1910 (which were one of the few living things left after the years of neglect.) In homage to Phoenix's agricultural past, I replanted the citrus orchard in the front of the property with lemons, grapefruits and oranges and mandarins.

Preserving and promoting the desert Southwest's diversity is key to keeping our agriculture in Phoenix. There are many varieties are uniquely suited to our arid climate and offer tastes and textures most have never encountered in the grocery store. Some, like I’itoi onions, Tohono O’dham squashes, Maktoom Dates and Rio Bavispe pinto beans have almost faded into the past, never to be seen again, but growing these old varieties out brings new attention to them, and how they can be used to promote food security in the desert, while using our precious resources more carefully.
