Construction Advisory: Construction will be taking place in the main campground near both restroom/shower buildings Oct. 2024 - May 2025 to replace the lift stations at the restrooms. Be prepared for construction-related traffic and increased noise levels. Porta potties are available for toilets. Showers and sinks may be limited or closed at times due to maintenance issues. Water and electricity may be temporarily disrupted when switching over utilities for a few hours at a time.
Due to safety concerns, walk-in entry and hiker drop-off/pick-up is not permitted.
The dump station and showers are closed to anyone not camping at the park.
Full Moon Hike at Lost Dutchman
Lost Dutchman State Park
Monthly (October - March) Varies by Date
This beautiful program is designed to start with a famous Arizona sunset draping gracefully over the Superstition Mountains, and end under the light of the full moon (full moon hikes are held on the weekend nearest to the full moon).
The easy 1.5-mile trail features some rocky, rough terrain but with little elevation gain. It is a ranger-guided hike that varies on different topics (ex. wildlife, plants, geology, history), while offering opportunities to stop and interpret what you see on the trail.
To reduce impact, ensure safety, and provide a more intimate, personalized experience, there will be a guest limit. Register online up to the day of the event for $10 per person (ages 10 and up). No dogs please. Bring good shoes, water, and a small flashlight. Event is weather permitting. Meet in the Palo Verde Day Use area. Arrive at the park at least 15 minutes prior to the program to check in.
