SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY

Arizona State Parks strongly believes that social media is a tool for consumers and communities to receive updates. We believe firmly that social media must be a safe space for all participants to engage in full and fair dialogue. All posters are encouraged to agree or disagree on any positions on any of our social media outlets. We remind individuals who post, that children,

youth and families have access to all of these posts and we want to maximize participation that is free from intimidation or bullying. Name-calling, intimidation or bullying of other social media participants will never be tolerated. Abusive, excessively disruptive and harassing posts will also be considered prohibitive of the fair and safe space we intend to maintain. Posts with unrelated information or political agendas will be removed. We will monitor communications and take appropriate action in order to ensure that these policies are consistently adhered to.

Campground A Construction Update: It’s open!!

Good news! The Campground A bathrooms are open after being closed since February 2026. The new CXT restroom is one of largest in the Arizona State Parks system. It features individual and accessible, unisex showers/restrooms and a sink for washing dishes. In these restrooms you’ll experience more privacy than the community style restrooms that campground A used to have. The concrete and steel construction will make this restroom much more durable over the long haul, sorry termites! Thank you to our partners who made this possible especially to our contractor Standard Construction! Thank you campers for being flexible and understanding while we upgraded this facility. We do this for you!
