Best RV Parks & Resorts near Chiricahua, AZ

Small campground with 28 level sites. All hookups avail. Tent sites offered dry or with electricity. $17.00 - $20.00. However, those sites are next to club house. We elected to take a full hookup site, although We only needed electricity. $27.00 + tax with Good Sam discount. 1 shower for all and 1 ea toilets for M& W. Nice club House with pool tables, TV’s, etc. Great wi-fi and cell coverage (AT&T). Great accommodating host, clean facilities, great views.

There is an envelope drop to pay for staying here and they call this place The Shoot Out Arena RV Park Overnight Camping. I hope I am reviewing the right place here. It is basically just a big empty dirt lot. Like the Wild West, you just park anywhere you want. There are zero services - I mean zero. Not even a garbage can. But man - did we love it here. We arrived on a Monday and we’re going to stay for 3 days. We had so much fun and it was central to go see so many things, that we added 4 more days here. Then we added another day. A total of nine days in all. You must be self sufficient and have tanks big enough for your length of stay. We had ATT service. Although there were no rules posted, we shut down our generator at a decent hour. Everyone else was courteous as well. While we were here, They had the April Fools Donkey Dash, and it ran right by our fifth wheel. I do believe they will be making changes here in the near future and adding full hook ups. That’s too bad because it is so affordable at $10 per night. Driving Tip: GPS will take you to fourth street and try to run you through the shootout. Take 3rd street and it will lead you right down to the lot. It is behind the shootout arena.

Stayed for two nights to explore the campground before deciding to lease (99 year) a site. The campground has both short term and long term sites available. Only two of three phases are in operation and there wasn't anyone in the second phase sites. They have a lot of plans to grown the park and it will be interesting to see the end results.

Only 1 block from the historic district, which is great. The man that checked me in was super nice and friendly. Over all the park is pretty simple. Full hook ups. Bathrooms and showers on site, although not the cleanest. WiFi signal pretty much doesn’t work.

From the moment I drove in I knew this was going to be an okay RV park. I hate RV parks! I only stay in them to do laundry and take long hot showers. Super dog friendly, great clubhouse, hosts were fantastic and so willing to help. Great trails around the property to walk dogs! The only complaint…those dang goat head burs.

The campground is spacious with gorgeous scenery. The hosts were more than accommodating when we had issues with our generator. They have been extremely kind and very helpful. They are the best hosts Ive met yet. much better service than what I expected before we came to town. Better service than any RV park or campground that Ive stayed at.

This spot is a diamond in the rough. Its rustic, with full hookups. Just like boondocking on the desert floor with 50amp - water - sewer. You can’t beat the value.

Ashley here with The Dyrt, extending a warm welcome to your host Rebecca. This property offers 5 sites, with full hookups. There is also a corral for your horses included in your reservation. Check them out and come back here to leave them some love.

Nice little place to shower, and relax. Lots of wildlife. Though I would say tent sites are a bit pricey, compared to all the free camping in the area. Extremely affordable for RVs compared to area though. Bisbee is a wonderful town and I’d def recommend checking it out while you’re around. An air bnb in the area would be spectacular!

I wish every town had a spot like this.  It's perfect if you just need a spot to sleep and park your vehicle while you explore the town.

This is a large dirt lot, located in Tombstone, where you can park for 24 hours ($10 for RVs and $5 for cars). Self payment required at drop box, cash only.  Find a spot that works for you and park for the night.  You can easily walk to Tombstone's tourist area from here.

Be aware that during the day you can hear the gunshots from the reenactment of the O.K. Coral gun fight, if you have nervous dogs.  The night was quiet and peaceful.

Good cell service. No amenities or services here, not even a trash can.  Did not see anyone who appeared to be a host, but in the morning the marshal came down and drove through the lot to check on things, which was nice.

There were only a few other rigs here when we were here (early Dec) but according to a local vendor the busy season here is late Dec to June so it may get crowded during those months.

Right off the “western strip” in Tombstone. Walking distance! The directions only take you to the first parking lot, travel down one more for campers/rv. Only $10, no hookups or amenities but talk of electric in the near future. Also rodeo right next door, not sure on the dates for that, we missed it. Overall great experience, with a nice greeting from the host as well.

Bonita Canyon Campground at the Chiricahua National Monument is a quiet little campground in a scrub pine forest. Chiricahua National Monument is a “dark sky” park, so there is very little light at night. Bring flashlights but leave lanterns at home! There are 36 sites with picnic tables and grills. There are community water faucets, but all were turned off when we were there. There are bathrooms with flush toilet, but no hookups or showers. Most sites are small and could accommodate tents, a small class C or van campers. 25’ is the max length and 14 days is max stay. The sign said the campground was full but there were empty sites. All sites are reservable through the www.US.gov web site.

This was a great campground. Nice and shaded and on the way to all the trails in Chiricahua. Quiet and small. We have a tall 20' trailer and it was a tight squeeze and we were definitely one of the big ones. But once we were in it was fantastic.

If approved by congress, Chiricahua National Monument will become Arizona's fourth National Park.  While the current monument  is a compact area geographically,  it definitely has the uniqueness of a national park and warrants the added protections.  It will however make a very special place more popular, so you might want to visit sooner than later. 

If you camp in a tent, van, micro-camper, or small travel trailer you will find Bonita Canyon Campground to be a memorable and wonderful place.  Don't try to bring any big rigs as they simply won't fit.  Reservations are a must. 

The campground is small, beautiful, shaded and right in the middle of some incredible scenery providing easy access to the fantastic hiking and wildlife viewing that is all around you.  Hosts were professional and friendly, bathhouse small but super clean, and the site boundaries were mostly marked with fences which is somewhat unique.  This is an old CCC built campground.  From the campground you can easily walk to the foundations of the original camp located nearby.  

Pay attention to fire regulations and status.  If permitted, campfires are limited to the raised grills (no rings) but you can bring your own solo type camp stove. You will need to bring your own wood and ice.  Pay attention to your fuel levels in your vehicle as this is a remote place.  

This is premier birdwatching country.  If you can, I would highly recommend taking  one of the guided walks provided by the rangers and park biologists.  We learned a bunch and I am not even "a birder" and enjoyed it.  The nearby visitor center will have the details. 

The Arizona Coatimundi's are a very unique mammal and frequently visit the campground.  Deer, turkeys, quail, and other wildlife are in abundance and easy to see from the hikes.  The views of the night sky are unparalleled. 

A short drive away provides access to some incredible trails for hiking or simply viewing the surrounding Wilderness areas.  The rock features found in this area make it unique. 

This continues to be one of our favorite places in Arizona to camp and hike.
