Campground of the Month: Lost Dutchman State Park
Friday, January 9th, 2009The superstitious believe that Jacob “The Dutchman” Waltz (who was actually German) found gold in them there hills. Ever since his death folks have been trekking into the wilderness hoping to strike it rich.
It’s gorgeous outside. The sun is shining, but not punishing, in the incredibly blue sky with the temperature at a comfortable 65 degrees. Now is the time to go exploring the 160,000-acre Superstition Mountain Wilderness. Located just east of Phoenix at the gateway of the Superstitions, Lost Dutchman State Park is the perfect winter getaway.
More information can be found on the Lost Dutchman State Park website and of course in our book, The Best in Tent Camping: Arizona.
