Welcome to the Southern Arizona's #1 camping network!
Our focus is backpacking, but also car camping and do more: Hiking, socializing and basically anything a fun group of backpackers like to do: Small evening hikes to all week treks, long strenuous all-day hikes to river tubing and socializing in the local bar, beginners' to advanced backpacking trips, canyoneering and climbing. Please browse our calendar, and you'll find the right trip for you!

There are many hiking groups in Tucson. While backpackers hike, and hiking is usually the starter drug for backpackers, we are a different kind of people. Find out for yourself!

If you're from Tucson, and are addicted (to camping only, please!), this is your group; and you are the group! Whatever you like doing related to camping - we'd like to share it! So, take a moment to fill out the polls and tell us what you'd like us to do. Planning a trip and have room for more people? Interested in leading a trip or getting involved? Just send me an email! Please also email me with your questions or suggestions.

If you're just getting into backpacking, you'll also find some information on gear etc. in our files section. However, the best entry is just doing it: Start hiking, hiking more till you get tired of it, car camping to try out your gear, then graduate to backpacking!

There is no fee to join or membership dues. We are based out of Tucson and most of our members live in Southern AZ. A lot of our trips take us far though, so we have members from CA, NM, WA...

Happy trails!

Who’s coming?
8 Yes / 2 Maybe

Want to attend?

Come join us up Tumamoc Hill! It's a 3 mile hike round trip on pavement, but the 700ft elevation will still make you breathe hard. If you want, bring your loaded backpack and it'll be a great conditioning hike! Finally the temperatures cooled down enough to actually enjoy this hike, plus get a great night view of the city!
