Coyote Howls Park

What if a campground could offer both the freedom of primitive camping and the convenience of modern amenities in one of Arizona’s most striking landscapes? Coyote Howls Park in Why, Arizona, does just that, offering a dual experience across two distinct parks: Coyote Howls East, featuring rustic boondocking with extras, and Coyote Howls West, a well-equipped RV park with full hookups.

Spanning the stunning Sonoran Desert, Coyote Howls East provides a 207-acre open layout with designated sites designed for everything from tents to large RVs. While largely focused on self-sufficient camping, it includes practical offerings like water access, shower facilities, a laundry room, and a library. For those seeking additional services, Coyote Howls West complements this experience with level, easy-access RV sites, full hookups, and shared amenities, all while maintaining the desert charm and remarkable stargazing opportunities.

Just 10 miles south of Ajo, the campground is perfectly positioned for day trips to cultural landmarks such as the Tohono O’odham Indian Nation or the awe-inspiring Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. The surrounding area also offers plenty of opportunities for hiking, bird watching, and capturing the desert’s quiet beauty. Whether stopping for a short stay or setting up for the season, Coyote Howls Park embodies the spirit of Arizona’s desert camping.
