GuideFor a season I snowbirded there. The amenities are decent, and some activities are notable.
Three staff did not communicate well, and one should be at ADX*, not in hospitality.
If I ever return, I hope the bad staff are gone.
*ADX Florence CO, maximum security federal prison.
ScoutVery nice level sites, quiet. Cave tour very interesting and worth the stop.
LegendGreat spot to charge up.
GuideThis is the best KOA I think I've ever seen. Too many amenities to mention. They do have two pools and two hot tubs one an adult only restaurant on site store on site laundry gym showers in many different types of sites dog friendly with six different dog run areas some sites have their own fence dog area.
TravelerBasically all pull through sites with water, electric and sewage. Just over a mile to historic Tombstone. Friendly staff.
GuideVery spacious park. Some full timers but all very well kept and patrolled by the owners/managers. Very friendly management. Love that the entire park is gravel and well kept. Pool, bathrooms and showers were impeccable. One of the best I’ve seen/used. Staff is visible and they drive around the park to keep an eye on things. Full hookups with pull thru lots. This is definitely a park to visit if you’re passing thru or need a few nights to relax. Nice laundromat with updated appliances and very clean. Only issue is the trains on the other side of the interstate run constantly throughout the night. Wife didn’t hear them but I did. Interstate noise wasn’t noticeable much. Highly recommend.
TravelerWe booked Garden Grove RV Resort in Sierra Vista for three months, but after two months we made the decision to leave early because we no longer felt safe or comfortable staying there. During our stay, there was a major law-enforcement incident at the park involving Sierra Vista police, a SWAT team, and a helicopter. That alone was extremely unsettling. There was another law-enforcement incident involving park personnel the following week. After everything that happened, we did not feel comfortable remaining at the park. There were also many ongoing problems with the condition and management of the campground. For a park with more than 100 RV tenants, we observed only one garbage container available for residents. Around a number of sites, there were household items and other belongings left outside, and many sites appeared to be occupied by long-term residential campers. The interior roads were also in very poor condition. There were large washed-out areas and deep holes where we had to almost come to a complete stop to get through them safely. With a motorhome or other low-clearance vehicle, there is a real concern about scraping or damaging the underside of the vehicle. Another major concern was enforcement of the park rules. In our experience, many of the posted rules did not appear to be consistently enforced. One of the rules requires dogs to be on a leash. My husband was walking our two Labrador retrievers, both properly leashed, when an unleashed dog ran toward our dogs. Their leashes became wrapped around my husband's legs, causing him to fall hard. He severely injured his arm and was bleeding. This was especially upsetting because we were following the park's leash rule. The rules also state limits on the number of vehicles allowed at a site and prohibit tow dollies, yet we saw multiple sites with additional vehicles and tow dollies. Our neighbor had three vehicles parked so close to our Class A motorhome that at times we could not properly open one of our basement storage doors. Another site had what appeared to be a portable carport along with numerous vehicles. Our biggest issue was not simply that rules existed— it was that, from what we personally observed, they were routinely ignored or inconsistently enforced. We have traveled extensively and stayed in many RV parks. We understand that no campground is perfect, but we expect reasonable maintenance, enforcement of basic safety rules, and an environment where guests feel secure. Unfortunately, that was not our experience at Garden Grove RV Resort. We gave up the final month of our three-month reservation and left because our safety and peace of mind were more important than staying for the time we had already paid for. Based on our personal experience, we would not stay here again.
ScoutMe and my husband stayed when we first got our RV and the owners were incredibly generous and kind. Clear communication, fenced and gated so we could let our husky explore, free ranged chicken eggs in the fridges at all times, multiple cameras on property for safety, movie nights, mixer events and sweet cats and dogs roaming the property. We plan on visiting again in september when they reopen.
TravelerI just sold everything I own & bought an RV. This has been my first stop, still local, while I learn to use the vehicle before setting out. This RV park used to be an almost abandoned trailer park under uncertain management, but now it is busy & well-maintained with friendly management & good hookups & polite neighbors (and they had free burgers & dogs for all residents last Friday for groundbreaking on their new clubhouse), with laundry/restroom/ahower amenities , & and a coming-soon clubhouse (under construction). The rates are 15 per night (no deposit), 99 per week (no deposit), or 350 per month (yes deposit). Edge of a small city in southeastern Arizona, 30 minutes drive from mexico, easy access for large rigs, right off the little local bypass loop.
Cabin accommodations in southeastern Arizona provide year-round options for visitors to Kartchner Caverns and surrounding attractions. Most cabin rentals near Benson sit at elevations between 3,600-4,600 feet, offering relief from summer heat with nighttime temperatures 15-20 degrees cooler than daytime highs. Desert climate conditions mean limited tree coverage at most sites, with gravel or concrete pads standard at developed campgrounds.
Cave tours at Kartchner Caverns: Tours require advance reservations with specific rules about what visitors can bring. "The campground has paved roads, showers, dump station, water & electric hookups and the usual campsite set-up. Three trails are located within the park," notes one Kartchner Caverns State Park Campground visitor.
Explore Tombstone's historic district: Located about 30 minutes from Benson, this Old West town has walkable attractions. "We were able to walk to all the Tombstone activities in town. Staff is great. Deer will cross by the campground each evening," reports a camper from Stampede RV Park.
Horseback riding and hiking: Several ranch properties offer trail access. "There were horse trails all around and you can bring your horses too. Dog friendly, and the owners were available if needed. Come for the stars, if nothing else," shares a visitor to Rancho del Nido.
Spacious cabin sites: Many locations provide ample room between units. "Sites are very large and everything is clean and well maintained. Nearly all sites have electrical and water with a dump station located near the entrance. Each site has a table and fire pit as well as shade from trees," reports a camper at Kartchner Caverns State Park.
Convenient amenities: Cabin stays typically include access to shared facilities. "The bathrooms with showers were clean and well appointed. I hiked the Foothills Loop which was challenging in spots especially around the apex. Walking sticks are recommended. The views were awesome," shares a visitor to Kartchner Caverns.
Authentic western atmosphere: Several properties maintain historic ambiance while providing necessary comforts. "This little piece of I-10 is a wonderful little spot. We arrived close to sunset and found a perfect spot to camp amongst the rocks. The on-site saloon with the chili pepper lights, original mural, and massive bolder behind the bar will make you wonder why this place is not more packed," notes a camper at Triangle T Guest Ranch.
Weather considerations: Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F while winter nights can drop below freezing. "It's Arizona, summer times will be hot, our temp in June was 108," warns a visitor to Kartchner Caverns State Park Campground.
Wildlife awareness: Native species including rattlesnakes are common in the area. "Watch your step, we came across a Diamond Back Rattle Snake about 4 feet from our picnic bench," cautions another Kartchner Caverns camper.
Reservations essential: Many cabin locations book months in advance, particularly during peak season. "Access the campground through a dirt road. Facilities are undergoing renovations. The pool area is not available. We stayed 2 nights and they have a sign up that says 'no propane today'," reports a visitor to Benson KOA.
Proximity to supplies: Cabins near Benson provide convenient access to stores. "You can visit the caverns, hike and bike ride. If you forget something Walmart is one exit over," advises a Kartchner Caverns visitor.
Pet policies vary: Not all cabin accommodations welcome pets, so verify before booking. "This is horse ranch with great host and amazing views. They offer horse back riding which our kids loved," shares a Rancho del Nido camper.
Educational opportunities: Several locations feature interpretive programs. "We reserved and did the Rotunda/Throne Tour. It was very cool and our 1st cave tour. I would suggest reading the rules for tours before reserving. Access to the cavern is very controlled as far as how you get in and what you can take," explains a visitor to Kartchner Caverns State Park.
Site selection matters: Most cabin camping locations also accommodate RVs with varying amenities. "Once in the proper row, the turn into the pull through sites is easy. Full hookups were all working smoothly, and although we did not use any of the facilities, they all looked beautiful and clean. The dog park on the far end was absolutely spotless," notes a camper at Tombstone RV & Campground.
Supplies and preparation: Cabin guests should check what's provided before arrival. "Did tent camping and ground was rough be nice place and clean bathrooms," reports a camper at Stampede RV Park.
Evening entertainment options: Several cabin locations offer on-site activities after dark. "So it is a little dusty like the west, but you are in Arizona so it can be expected. Everyone seemed very nice around camp and many were exploring in town at night at one of the many saloons and even asked us if we wanted to come with," shares a Tombstone RV & Campground visitor.
