About this campground
The Kris Eggle Visitor Center is a great place to start your visit at Organ Pipe Cactus. Rangers there provide orientation to the monument, answer questions, and offer suggestions on how to best enjoy your experience during your time here. Inside is an information desk with maps and guides, an exhibit area where visitors may learn about the Sonoran Desert, and a bookstore. A short nature trail starting behind the visitor center features Quitobaquito pupfish and signs about the life found in the monument.
