Soldier Creek Campground

Rough switchbacks and unpaved roads lead to this forested campground along Soldier Creek in the Coronado National Forest. The challenging access route requires careful navigation and higher clearance vehicles, with RVs limited to 22 feet maximum length.

Sites include picnic tables and fire rings, though campers must bring their own water as none is available on-site. The US Forest Service operates the campground from April through November, providing vault toilets and trash service. For additional options, campers can explore campgrounds near Coronado National Forest or check out Cunningham Campground located nearby with potentially easier access.

Soldier Creek

Great experience and enjoyed our stay. Road is long unpaved and rough without 4WD. Lots of switchbacks. Water is not available.
