About Painted Rock Petroglyph Site And Campground
The Painted Rock Petroglyph Site and Campground are located approximately 90 miles southwest of Phoenix, Arizona. The petroglyph site provides visitors the opportunity to view an ancient archaeological site containing hundreds of symbolic and artistic rock etchings, or "petroglyphs," produced centuries ago by prehistoric peoples. There are also inscriptions made by people who passed through during historic times. There is a $2 per vehicle fee for the site. Cash or check payment is accepted. Overnight camping is allowed at the adjacent Painted Rock Petroglyph Campground. This is a separate facility from the petroglyph site. Camping reservations must be made through the [recreation.gov website](https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/10041410). We no longer accept cash or check payments for campsites. The campground has picnic tables, grills, steel fire rings, and a vault toilet.…
