Who’s ready to enjoy a free night’s stay in one of Maricopa County’s regional parks? Starting September 18, the Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department is bringing back its popular Buy One, Get One camping promotion! The promotion allows park visitors who pay the camping fee for one night or more at a participating desert mountain county park to receive one night of equal or lesser value for free during that same stay.
“Maricopa County is home to 12 beautiful regional parks where residents and visitors alike can enjoy activities like boating, fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking, and camping,” said Chairman Jack Sellers, who represents the East Valley communities of District 1 on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. “You don’t have to wait until temperatures cool down to start planning your fall camping trip - take advantage of the ‘Buy One, Get One’ camping promotion being offered now at four of the County’s regional parks to set aside time for exploring nature and spending time with your loved ones.”
“We’re excited to announce that the Buy One, Get One camping promotion will be returning this fall. Last year, we adjusted the campaign dates a bit to allow everyone to take advantage of the promotion before we head into the busy holiday season. The promotion has been activated on our online reservation system, so park visitors may start booking their fall stays immediately,” said R.J. Cardin, Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Director.
To book a camping reservation and receive a free night, contact the parks at (602) 506-2930 or book your reservation online at maricopacountyparks.org. The promotion is valid for stays booked between September 18 and October 31, 2024.
