Phoenix-area RV dump stations
Short answer: if you're not camping, the two dumps open to the public near Phoenix that we could verify are both on I-10 on the west side. They're Flying J #611 (Exit 137) and Love's #659 in Tolleson (Exit 135). The Maricopa County regional parks and Lost Dutchman State Park have dump stations, but they're for registered campers. Arizona's ADOT rest areas have no RV dump stations at all.
Open to the public: truck stops on I-10 west
Flying J #611 on W Latham St and Love's #659 on Roosevelt St are about two exits apart on I-10, west of downtown. Both chains list an RV dump at these stores, and both sell propane. Neither posts a dump fee online, so pay or ask inside first.
Out west, Love's #280 in Buckeye (Exit 114) lists propane but no RV dump. Some older directories still show one there.
Maricopa County regional parks: campers only
The county's developed campgrounds have water and electric hookups and dump station access. They're at Cave Creek, Lake Pleasant, McDowell Mountain, Usery Mountain and White Tank Mountain. The county says the dump station is a free service for registered campers. Its FAQ adds that non-campers can't use it unless they pay the developed-site camping fee, which is not encouraged. That fee is $40/night in 2026, rising to $50 on Jan 1, 2027 and $60 on Jan 1, 2028.
Estrella Mountain has semi-developed camping only, with no hookups and no dump access listed.
State park: Lost Dutchman (campers only)
Arizona State Parks says Lost Dutchman's dump station is free for registered campers and not open to the public.
Myth: "just use a rest area"
ADOT says plainly that Arizona's rest areas do not have RV dump stations. Some trucker apps still show dumps at I-10 rest areas, but don't plan around those listings.
