Kentucky Camp

1 ReviewAdd Review

Within Coronado National Forest, Kentucky Camp provides dispersed camping with drive-in access for RVs up to 20 feet. The US Forest Service manages this site where pets are welcome and campers can access the Arizona Trail directly from their campsite. One visitor built shelters next to their RV and enjoyed listening to wildlife sounds throughout the night. For additional options, campers can explore places to camp around Sonoita or check out the nearby Kentucky Camp Cabin And Headquarters Building for a different experience.
