AMENITIES
$18 - $45 / night
Camping on public lands away from developed recreation facilities is referred to as dispersed camping. Most of the remainder of public lands are open to dispersed camping, as long as it does not conflict with other authorized uses or in areas posted "closed to camping," or in some way adversely affects wildlife species or natural resources. Dispersed camping is allowed on public land for a period not to exceed 14 days within a 28 consecutive day period. The 28 day period begins when a camper initially occupies a specific location on public lands. The 14 day limit may be reached either through a number of separate visits or through 14 days of continuous overnight occupation during the 28 day period. After the 14th day of occupation, the camper must move outside of a 25 mile radius of the previous location until the 29th day since the initial occupation. The purpose of this special rule is to prevent damage to sensitive resources caused by continual use of any particular areas. In addition, campers must not leave any personal property unattended for more than 10 days (12 months in Alaska). Campsite Selection Dispersed camp sites are located along most secondary roads and may not be marked. Popular locations can be recognized by the telltale flat disturbed area that has been used as a camp site before. Not all flat spots are sites. If possible, please use existing sites to avoid creating new disturbances. To further protect your public lands, campers must not dispose of any refuse, hazardous materials, sewage, or in any manner pollute the surrounding area.

Guide
Washboard road first 10 miles. Then rough sandy road 5 more miles to the area. Many secluded spots. Good service with Verizon.
Guide
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.
Guide
This place is really pretty and very easy to get hear. The camping is limited at the main viewing area but there is an overflow camping area which is very flat. During the winter months October to march I think there are about 20000 Sandhills cranes super cool. It’s in an open valley with distant mountians all around.
GuideWashboard ride in but well worth it. Found a spot down a side road that was perfect. Quiet with great views . 2 bars with Verizon
Ranger
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.
Ranger
Drove in for a one night stay. Last 0.4 miles were rough. Road did not appear to have been maintained since the last rain which was last year.
There were a series of small campsites along the road starting where Google Maps said we had arrived. We went another .2 miles further and found a larger spot with an awesomely large fire pit.
There is a lot of traffic on the Sunday we we re there. Don't know if they are looking for a camp site or day hikers.
Overall this is better than most desert camping options if your vehicle can make it up bad roads.
LegendYou drive up a steep hill to the top there are nice spots to park for the night. Not idea for large rigs or trailers. Just park your vehicle. It over looks sierra vista.
TravelerMy sprinter had no problem getting there without needing 4WD but I would not take a trailer or anything larger than 25 ft. Views are spectacular same for the nighttime sky So quiet you can hear the crows flying near the mountains. The darkness is incredible
Scout
The owners/managers are very friendly and kind. They told us where else to explore down in this region. Their bird feeders and birding area has way more birds than just the Ramsey Cyn preserve. We saw lots of birds and very close. Also saw lots of turkey and Coos deer. They are also knowledgable about their birds. The wild life and birding opportunity is the reason to stay there. They charged full hook up but have only electric. We did not get a discount at Ramsey Canyon Preserve for booking at the Cabins, though we were told otherwise. The Cabins are not affiliated with the Nature Conservancey.
Guide
Stayed on a Sunday in mid January and lucked out on a last minute site that was available. It’s a small campground, so reservations are ideal if you can plan ahead.
There’s no fire rings but there are small grills to cook food and/or have a small “fire” in.
Food storage boxes and bear boxes are available! Some sites have their own and others share the boxes.
Bathrooms are modernized and super clean.
Overall a great campground and would definitely stay here again!
Scout
Great quiet park with views. Saw a lot of good birds out here.
GuideSecond year visiting, awesome campground very busy, great place to watch the stars and hike long trails.
ScoutBeautiful land and big lots. The kids and I used the hiking trails and played horseshoe toss. There are bathrooms, showers, and washing machines. Will visit again.
Guide
Didn’t really drive all the way in since a car that was coming out stated he wouldn’t recommend us driving in. One way road. Decided to turn back around.
GuideCant give my honest opinion since we were led to the overflow path not the actual entrance No one here it was nice and secluded however a lot of loose dirt that gets everywhere. There was a one way road that you can take I wouldn’t recommend 40ft Rv taking the small path. Only stopped to let the dogs out and have some leg time off leash. Dry during the time we were there.
Guide
50$ a night on debit or credit card or 45 $ cash place was small and super cute walking distance from all the shops, we did bring in our 40ft Rv with ease, only 30amp hook ups. Small side area to take your dogs to restroom. Overall loved the view of the open copper mind near the office. The guy running the place was really nice. No complaints. Camped here for Christmas
TravelerMet some friends here. 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.
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.
Traveler
Wi-fi non existent, bathrooms under construction, otherwise good for a week.
Scout
This is a parking lot location close to the action of this amazing small community! The host Leann is about the friendliest person you’ll ever meet! Love it here!
Guide
This campground has nicely spaced sites with lots of green around them. A 3 mile nature walk from the campsite. Very heavy canopy overhead. Sadly it took out the top of our campers ladder 😕Longer vehicles won’t make the road. Our Rv got a broken
Scout
We ended up staying longer than planned, very nice place close to bisbee but far enough to enjoy some quiet and beautiful night sky. Clean facilities with hot showers. the clubhouse is also a great place to hangout, with lots of appliances free to use. Owners very sweet and always here to help. Highly recommend and will be back!! They have RV sites with full hookups but also dry camping sites
TravelerEasy access to Bisbee historical area. 5 minute walk! Nice quiet park, level spots, and view of town.
Traveler
Great campsite. We had two campers, a 34 ft 5th wheel and a 17 foot TT. Sites were built to accommodate both easily. Water, electric, sewer hookup, and even sites made it a quick set up and we were able to get to site-seeing in town quickly! Breakfast at the Shotgun Cafe was excellent! You have to order the country potatoes!
Scout
Great campsite but a bit weedy. They could have cleaned it out a bit. We had to weed the side to get to the services.
GuideI love Bonita canyon campground in Chiricahua second time visiting, I plan to visit this amazing place every year Milky Way photography varies depending on the month of visit
Traveler
This place is perfect for dry camping a short distance from historic Main Street Tombstone. There were no amenities, so be prepared! You cannot beat the price! For car/tent camping there are some private spaces with a little shade and evidence of past campfires. Be sure to stay to the left of the sign to go into the lower camping area. Pay your 10 bucks at the drop box.
