Join the Desert Adventures family of campers under the Dark Skies at Kartchner Caverns. This campground is stargazing at its best. Bring your telescopes or find the constellations with your naked eye. Enjoy a nature walk to look for bats and explore the caverns on your own or with your fellow campers.

Fun with your DA friends

  • Friday evening at 5:00 we will gather for a meet-and-greet. Please bring a snack to share.
  • Saturday morning or early afternoon would be a good time to tour the caverns. You may reserve your tickets on your own or with your DA friends.
  • Saturday evening at 6:00 DA will provide protein and water for dinner (inform us if you want a vegan option). Please bring a side dish and your favorite beverage.
  • Saturday evening from 7:00–8:00 we have reserved 12 free tickets for a ranger-led walk through the park called "Desert Night Life on the Wing":

Come join us for a walk in the park as we learn about some of the neighboring bats in the park. There are 13 different species of bats at Kartchner Caverns State Park, and we will be using a bat detector while on a walk through the beautiful desert to observe some of them and learn about the diversity of these flying mammals. Please bring family and friends, a flashlight, and a bottle of water. —Kartchner Caverns State Park
