The Dodgers play 17 of their 30 Cactus League games at Camelback Ranch. All times are 1:05pm local time unless otherwise noted, and are of course subject to change. Tickets and more information can be found here.
This season, the Dodgers had 28 Cactus League games scheduled in 27 days, including three split-squad days and two days off (not counting the Taiwan trip). Next season, the Dodgers have 30 games in 30 days, including one split-squad day and one off day.
If you are planning a trip to Arizona, it looks like that first week has a lot of home games, and the Dodgers play six straight games at Camelback Ranch from March 19-24. But, in reality, all the parks are within 30-40 minutes of each other, so getting to a game won't be a problem no matter where you stay.
