"CLEAN & AND P ET FRIENDLY. THE JAM SESSIONS THAT ARE HELD ON THURS IS THE COUNTRY JAM HOSTED BY A VERY SWEET MAN, CHUCK, & ON SUNDAY IS THE GOSPEL JAM HOSTED BY, DWIGHT, A VERY CHRISTIAN MAN."
"A Safeway, Ace Hardware, restaurants, and a TSC are all within walking distance of the park."
"The grounds are very clean and it looks like campers are at least one space away from another. We stayed here and traveled to Tombstone, Tucson Botanical Gardens, and Old Tucson."

"Close to Tombstone and Benson."
"Great space to walk the dogs around here. It’s gets a little windy at times and the cows can make a racket every so often, but we really like it here."
"There is no highway noise and the night time stars are brilliant. It is free range for cattle so you may wake up several mornings to see them in 'your backyard'."
"Off the beaten trail a bit but we really enjoyed our stay here. Hiking trail entrances right in the park and it’s close to the San Pedro river."
"We had a fire in the fire pit and hiked around. Dog park was nice and the bath house had clean showers and facilities. WiFi was free and good. Site was clean, level and pull through."
"USFS Coronado National Forest controlled. Ranger came by a day after we arrived and checked in with us. 14 day limit on staying here and it seems like it is enforced."
"Beautiful rock backdrops and views with lots of trails. There is much dispersed camping and although the area can be quite busy, there's lots of space and privacy can be had."
"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. "
"There is a clothing donation drop-off that benefits Southern Arizona Children's Advocacy Center near the entrance, and in the office there is a drop off for your old eyeglasses, hearing aid batteries,"
"After getting stranded by a Passport America earlier on this trip near Las Cruces we are very happy with this spot. It is a Mobile home park with 2 rows for rvs."
ScoutGreat views of the mountains, not too crowded, and a good location for recreation in both Coronado National Forest and Saguaro West. It is a bit pricey at $20 a night but that's my only complaint
GuideI 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.
TravelerTranquil place for people and pets. Facilities, including dog park is clean and community if friendly. No worries except for no campfires and the nightly visits from javelinas. 😊
GuideBoondockers paradise. Beautiful views and spacious campsites. USFS Coronado National Forest controlled. Ranger came by a day after we arrived and checked in with us. 14 day limit on staying here and it seems like it is enforced.
Had two Canyon Towhees come visit us every morning.
Some traffic as it is a popular rock climbing area especially on Friday and Saturday. Middlemarch Road is wide but very washboard-y. Took us about 45 minutes to go 10 miles. We found a nice spot on FR 687. We got water at the Stampede RV park in Tombstone. The other RV parks didn't allow us to fill. About 45 minutes to Sierra Vista for supplies. Will definitely stay here again.
LegendIf you have traveled anywhere within 70 miles of Dragoon, Arizona you know you have seen a sign saying come see "The Thing", so naturally after seeing that for over an hour we decided we had to stop! We decided while we were here to check out a few campgrounds to give a little feedback and the Half Moon Ranch was one of those.
This is not a site I would usually consider for stay because while it does have tent sites it more focuses on the ranch aspect with ranch houses and focus on horseback riding and rock climbing, neither of which are really my thing. In fact, when I checked in to the facility I actually saw nothing to indicate tents would even have a space if they were considering staying the night.
The site was nice for what it was and is run as a part of the Coronado National Forest so it was maintained to standard.
This was a great place to stretch out and check out something new and who knows maybe in the future if I decide I need something a little different in my life I can check it out. But until then, I'll just chalk this up to a good stop after paying my quarter to see "the thing" nearby.
TravelerOff the beaten trail a bit but we really enjoyed our stay here. Hiking trail entrances right in the park and it’s close to the San Pedro river.
There is a laundry/mail room with a restroom and then a separate bathhouse near the front. Nice little dog park for our pooch to run around too and we used the public firepit.
Kiddos said there were horseshoes to play.
ScoutPlenty of space, the best dog parks ever!
RangerAbout a mile outside of Tombstone. Very clean, large/wide sites, nice pool, dog parks, large clubhouse with TV, shuffleboard, ping pong, etc. Very helpful staff. Lots of snow birds when we were here...we stayed 2 nights.
GuideSo friendly! Nice dog park, good wifi, activities like potlucks and poker. Would definitely come back.
