Thinking about camping with some friends at Patagonia Lake on MLK weekend.
We've never been there. Any suggestions, advice, commentary, etc?

Awesome! Just reserved a campsite
Southern AZ is very scenic. Not sure what route you will be taken but drive through Sonoita and Elgin area if you have time. Many wineries in that area. Also Overland Cruisers is in Sonoita.

Probably a direct route. We'll have a couple 4 year olds with us. We'll definitely think about passing some wineries.

We stopped at AZ Hops & Vines with our 5 year old twins.

Sonoita, AZ 85637

They had goats, peacocks, ducks and a pig. The kids loved it and we loved the sangria. There’s also a place called The Cafe just down the highway that had good sandwiches.
If Patagonia gets to obnoxious Parker Lake is always a good time.

We managed to secure a campsite at Patagonia. I will keep Parker in mind for the future.
Go for pizza at the Velvet Elvis in Patagonia if you can.
If you head back north through I-19, stop by at Nickel's Diner in Rio Rico.
Copper Bottom Brothel (Brewery) in Sonoita is a good place to go for a burger and TVs if you are looking for dining.
New place, big, and can usually provide beer and good service.
If you can take an easy wheeling trip to Kentucky Camp, it’s very much worth the detour off Highway 83.

I was there (Kentucky Camp) today, and camped nearby last night!! And, Autumn Sage winery in Elgin gets my vote!
Such a beautiful area
It's a beautiful area. Consider a day trip to Las Cienegas. If you have bird nerds in your family, the state park itself is a fantastic place to have binoculars and a bird book.
The Copper Brothel, Velvet Elvis, and Hops and Vines are all awesome, The Cafe and The Steak Out are really cool too.
It isn't too bad having a bunch of wineries in the area, really rough duty
We should be around Friday and Saturday MLK weekend, stop by the shop if you'd like to say hi and see some fun rigs.
Which mines are you reclaiming? There are so many great spots in the area.

The historic Three R Mine and the Salero Ranch Mine. I often drive my cruiser through the area, may have to stop in.
Very cool, both are in real pretty country.
Please stop in next time you're passing through.
