Calabasas Group Campground is a place for groups of up to 250 people to enjoy
scenery and privacy in a remote, natural setting. Weddings, family reunions
and other social gatherings are especially popular during winter due to
pleasant seasonal temperatures, yet it is open year-round.  
  
Calabasas is situated in the Coronado National Forest in southern Arizona,
home to a variety of ecosystems and recreation opportunities. It is located a
short distance off Ruby Road near Peña Blanca Lake, 67 miles south of Tucson
and 14 miles northwest of Nogales, Arizona.  
  
Campsites within the group area are spread out among a stand of oak trees
within a shallow, grassy valley. A few well-worn pathways lead to low hilltops
in the area where visitors will find good views of the surrounding valleys and
mountains. Calabasas sits at an elevation of 4,000 feet.

## Overview

Calabasas Group Campground is a place for groups of up to 250 people to enjoy
scenery and privacy in a remote, natural setting. Weddings, family reunions
and other social gatherings are especially popular during winter due to
pleasant seasonal temperatures, yet it is open year-round.  
  
Calabasas is situated in Coronado National Forest in southern Arizona, home to
a variety of ecosystems and recreation opportunities. It is located a short
distance off Ruby Road near Peña Blanca Lake, 67 miles south of Tucson and 14
miles northwest of Nogales, Arizona.

## Recreation

A major attraction at Calabasas Group Site is nearby Peña Blanca Lake. The
45-acre, man-made lake provides birding, boating and fishing opportunities
year-round. Anglers can try for rainbow trout, bass, sunfish, crappie and
catfish.  
  
Groups also enjoy picnicking in the camping area, hiking or mountain biking on
area trails or visiting historic sites.

## Facilities

The camping area can be reserved by one group at a time. Facilities at
Calabasas include 14 tables, 12 campfire rings with grills, three pedestal
barbecue grills, benches, a parking area and toilets. The site is spread out,
so there is enough space to set up additional tables and facilities.  
  
There is no drinking water available; visitors must bring their own.

## Natural Features

Campsites within the group area are spread out among a stand of oak trees
within a shallow, grassy valley. A few well-worn pathways lead to low hilltops
in the area where visitors will find good views of the surrounding valleys and
mountains. Calabasas sits at an elevation of 4,000 feet.  
  
The Coronado National Forest covers 1.78 million acres of southeastern Arizona
and southwestern New Mexico. Elevations range from 3,000 to 10,720 feet in 12
widely scattered mountain ranges or "sky islands" that rise dramatically from
the desert floor, supporting plant communities as biologically diverse as
those encountered on a trip from Mexico to Canada.

## Nearby Attractions

Visitors can take an educational day trip to Tumacácori National Historical
Park, which protects three Spanish colonial mission ruins, and Tubac Presidio
State Historic Park, which preserves the ruins of the oldest Spanish Presidio
site in Arizona. The border town, Nogales, is also close by.
