When it comes to good old-fashioned family fun, you really can’t beat a nice camping trip. There’s no better way to unplug and enjoy nature with the people you care about most, and luckily, Arizona has no shortage of awesome campgrounds to choose from. One of the most unique is Three Dunes Campground, which – as its name suggests – is surrounded by towering sand dunes that turn the area into your own private oasis.
Thanks to the pristine waters of Lake Havasu moderating the temperature, Cattail Cove State Park is a popular destination for camping year-round.

The day-use fee at Three Dunes is $10, plus an additional $10 per site to stay overnight.
