    Triangle T Guest Ranch

    Amazing, Historic, Scenic

    Beautiful site right off the interstate with amazing landscapes that make you feel like your a million miles away from it. Dry camping, electric only, or full hook ups available. They also rent casitas. Little saloon that serves basic food. Plenty of hiking and horse back riding available. Tame horses roam free on the property. Lots of famous movie set areas to see like 310 to Yuma. Pool and hot tub also on site. Bathrooms and showers available as well. Friendly and affordable.

    Tombstone RV Park

    Close to historic Tombstone

    This campground has everything... full hook ups, great rec room with games and a full kitchen, pool, laundry, bathrooms/showers, shade, 2 pet play areas, basic play area for kids, even horse corals and long term rv storage. Stay in a tent site, pull through rv site, large sites next to horse corals, a building with 4 motel rooms or one of their cute cabins. Motel and cabins do not have bathrooms, but the communal bathrooms are clean and have showers. Only down side we experienced was Verizon cell service just ok and the free wi-fi is again, just ok. Minutes to historic downtown. Would stay again.

    Rancho del Nido

    Fantastic hosts, views, and price

    Our hosts were extremely hospitable and accommodating. They worked around our schedule and made sure we were comfortable. They gave us numerous recommendations for local cuisine and sightseeing. The camp is peaceful and has fantastic views with horses, a fire pit, and hiking trails. We hope to return soon.

    Rancho del Nido

    Miles and mils of Silence

    Kim & Dan are wonderful hosts. The property is on the side of a slope with expansive views. Spotlessly clean porta potty. Safe. Peaceful. Horses and cows. I booked 2 nights and as soon as I set up camp I booked two more. So glad I did. Great location. Delicious well water.

    Cochise Stronghold Campground

    Gorgeous Hiking & Climbing Opps!

    Various Oaks and Alligator Junipers abound at this cute little National Forest campground tucked in the Dragoon Mountains, another of Arizona’s beautiful “Islands in the Sky.”  Named for the late Apache leader, Chief Cochise, this campground sits at the base of a few absolutely gorgeous hiking trails and rock climbing areas.

    Each site has a good amount of space but oddly a small amount of space for tents and RV’s longer than 24 feet won’t fit in most of the sites.  There is no privacy in between sites, but each site has good tree coverage (almost too much for our solar suitcase on an extension cord). Each site has a huge cement picnic table, fire ring, and grill and there are a couple composting toilets.  There was no drinking water available at the campground (the website says there is water), but there is a creek you can pull water from for filtering, so come prepared.

    Important note:  If there is rain in the forecast, be aware that you may get stuck in this campground for a couple of days, as you have to cross numerous washes on the road to/from the campground. We were there for 3 days before it was safe to pull a small camper across the “death wash” that grew to 6 feet high and 20 feet wide during a 24-hour rain event!

    Triangle T Guest Ranch

    Pretty cool campground

    The Triangle T Ranch is a neat experience. It has history and character all around. Even though it's only a quarter mile from the 10, the noise is very minimal.

    We showed up while they were hosting a wedding there. We were never greated or shown any hospitality because of that but we're experienced enough to be self sufficient. We originally reserved an electric only spot #1. We quickly realized our spot (as well as #s 2 & 3) were actually the corner of the parking spaces for the wedding guests. A quick text with the camp hosts and we were relocated to a full rv hookup spot. MUCH BETTER all around. If you make a reservation, choose either full rv #3 or #4. These spots back up to a huge boulder and offer wind blocking and shade for your rig or tent. Made the experience perfect.

    The missus and I hiked around the horse trails they have and loved the views. The saloon was reserved by the wedding party but we crashed it anyways. The ladies running the saloon were fantastic. Good times.

    Tombstone RV & Campground

    Beautiful and clean, perfect location

    Upon arrival, this park is absolutely gorgeous. Check-in was swift and easy, and we were escorted to our site by a friendly staff member. Although the park is big rig friendly, we found the turn into the row very tight for our 37ft 5th wheel and long tow vehicle (about 55ft total rig length). 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. The lighting around the campground at night was charming and appreciated. Our site had a tree with a picnic table under it.

    We were only a few minutes drive away from all the best attractions Tombstone has to offer, but the location is quiet and away from all the commotion.

Guide to Hereford

Horse camping options abound near Hereford, Arizona, situated at elevations between 4,000 and 5,000 feet in the southeastern portion of the state.

What to do

Trail riding through desert terrain: Tombstone RV & Campground serves as an excellent base for riders, located just minutes from historic Tombstone's attractions. "We pulled up our boot straps and mounted the 4WD pony and headed to town, which was just up the road. There is a boothill cemetery and the legendary downtown Tombstone and the OK Corral. We even got to ride in a stagecoach!" reports GoldDust D.

Explore dramatic rock formations: Triangle T Guest Ranch offers unique riding opportunities among massive boulders. "Fantastic geological location. Great hosts and full hookups along with Casitas. Highly recommended!" notes Ken W. The property features miles of trails suitable for all skill levels winding through the dramatic Dragoon Mountains landscape.

Multi-day wilderness treks: The expansive trail systems through Coronado National Forest provide opportunities for extended rides. "We headed over here early on a Saturday morning and found a dispersed spot without a problem. Tons of spots available and some of the dips might require high clearance but we did fine with our vintage trailer and suburban," shares Emily A. about Cochise Stronghold Campground.

What campers like

Authentic western atmosphere: "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 boulder behind the bar will make you wonder why this place is not more packed," describes Cassandra J. about Triangle T Guest Ranch.

Excellent stargazing conditions: The minimal light pollution creates ideal conditions for night sky viewing. "Come for the stars, if nothing else," recommends Maryrose L. about Rancho del Nido, highlighting one of the most appreciated features of equestrian campgrounds near Hereford.

Privacy and seclusion: "This campground with water and electric was quiet and beautiful. There were horse trails all around and you can bring your horses too. Dog friendly, and the owners were available if needed," shares Maryrose L. about Rancho del Nido, emphasizing the peaceful atmosphere that attracts equestrians to the area.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most horse-friendly sites require advance booking. "Our hosts were extremely hospitable and accommodating. They worked around our schedule and made sure we were comfortable.
