Best Campgrounds near Bisbee, AZ

Lots of camping spots. Most widely dispersed… though you could have people 30-40 yards away if they are jerks… or if they just want someone nearby.

A Ranger stopped by to check me out. Friendly. No issues.

Very dry here (4/29/25). Saw a few birds. Three Pronghorn Antelope, about 400 yards away. Heard two different packs of coyotes, and maybe a couple of loners.

Good place to boondock

This camping area is very convenient to Bisbee and environs.  Spacing between most established camping areas is good. The dirt road up is maintained, but it is loose when dry, and it has a steep grade in some spots with very tight switchbacks.  I had a surprise snow in March of '22 that almost prevented me coming back down, so be aware of weather. Most parking is not pull-through and some is very tight. Any 4WD vehicle and most pickups will be fine.  I would not recommend for Class A. Class B is okay (4WD and/or good clearance a plus) and really know your rig for Class C.  I would think any trailer longer than 25' is a no-go, but I'm sure some have done it.  Have seen quite a few 19-footers up there.  Phone service is great- you might even be able to hear calls through dental appliances! ;^)

The KOA is under new management and they are making changes.  The pool/spa is being redone and were closed during our stay. Oh well.  Sites are typical of a KOA with enough room to spread out a little. The wifi is good with decent AT&T cell service.  Bathrooms are clean and well stocked. Now the issue.  The shower in the mens room has a problem with the floor.  Due to settling of the ground the water goes into the dressing area. There is a large squeegee provided to push the water to the drain but you have to deal with it. Management is aware and have plans to repair but with only one shower when do you do that??  I am sure they will work it out.  Other than that it was a nice campground and we will stay again next year.

The view is great! There are agglomerated spots but you can find one isolated farther on the road if it's what you want. Feel off-grid but the is cellphone service. You can wake up with cattle around your spot.

Full hookups. We stayed a few nights visiting Tombstone just down the road. Check out their website for amenities. Spoke to a few RV'ers that stay there for the winter. Benson is 15 minutes away and has a Walmart, Safeway, auto parts, etc...

I had a great time at Parker Canyon Lake, located about an hour from Sonoita, Arizona. The fishing was excellent — the lake is well-stocked, and it’s a peaceful spot to cast a line. The campground is spacious, with 30 campsites for tents that offer plenty of room and privacy. Many of the tent sites have trails that lead directly down to the lake, which makes it super convenient if you’re fishing or just want to enjoy the view.

There’s a separate RV campground, but I’m not sure how many sites it has — it looked like a good size with plenty of space for larger vehicles.

Whether you’re fishing, hiking, or just relaxing by the water, Parker Canyon Lake is a hidden gem worth visiting!

We've been here about 6 weeks with 6 more to go.  The park is excellent, well-maintained, friendly staff, scheduled activities for those who want to participate.  There's a heated swimming pool and hot tub and, of course, 'The Lakes', which are really small bodies of water that have campsites around them.  Our spot is towards the back at a raised elevation and it is very quiet.  They have Casitas for rent---they are beautiful inside and out.

I was driving along Highway 83 when I saw a Coronado National Forest sign by a dirt road. This location wasn’t marked for boondocking on any of the resources I use. I pulled in and saw several established dispersed camping spots with fire rings. The spots are well spaced out. I saw a few RV’s. Nice, quiet spot for overnight or a couple weeks.

I really like this location. The washboard road was really rough and took me forty minutes to go 15 miles. The sites are totally huge and there are plenty of them along the road. You could have a really big group out here. The dragoon mountains are beautiful and you get pretty close. I wouldn’t suggest any large campers to go very far past the first few sites the road gets narrow and rough.

This area was pretty hard to get to rough road. It is a quaint little wooded area there are other spots before this one with better views but it was windy when I was there. Also probably better in the spring and summer months as there is ample shade.

Washboard ride in but well worth it. Found a spot down a side road that was perfect. Quiet with great views . 2 bars with Verizon

This a rectangular parking lot literally zero feet from the highway. No trees, no privacy, no nothing except an unmaintained dirt lot.

WOULD NOT RECOMEND.
