Great privately owned park
Very spacious park. Some full timers but all very well kept and patrolled by the owners/managers. Very friendly management. Love that the entire park is gravel and well kept. Pool, bathrooms and showers were impeccable. One of the best I’ve seen/used. Staff is visible and they drive around the park to keep an eye on things. Full hookups with pull thru lots. This is definitely a park to visit if you’re passing thru or need a few nights to relax. Nice laundromat with updated appliances and very clean. Only issue is the trains on the other side of the interstate run constantly throughout the night. Wife didn’t hear them but I did. Interstate noise wasn’t noticeable much. Highly recommend.

Great campground
The spots here are nice, but fairly close together. Probably hard to get satellite internet here because of the tree canopy.

Triangle T Guest Ranch
Bucket List Stop
I have been wanting to stop here in Texas Canyon for years, and this was the year. The place is so cool! Hiking around and on the boulders is fantastic. Jerry takes excellent care of everyone and is also the chef at the restaurant. First time here but won’t be our last.

Ranch Nido
Specific site is not where Dyrt puts it. It is off by about 2 miles. I used instant book. Owners were very responsive and helpful. A beautiful spot with trees and sweet horses. About 2 miles of graded dirt and gravel road. Fine for most vehicles. The RV part is just a few spots with hookups and water. You can see them through the trees behind the port a potty in the photo. They are very close together. We are self sufficient in our setup for electricity. Wonderful fresh spring water for refilling our water containers, surprisingly fresh and clean port a potty. Was a great spot for exploring the area. Very easy to get to Saguaro National Park east side. And hour to Tombstone.

Close to Florida Canyon trail
Just a pull off of Rd. 62. Convenient for early morning birding at Florida. Creek running nicely. Area shared with cows.

Awesome
My brother pulled into Tombstone AZ Brite and early walked around found a flyer for this park and called. No problem Dawn said see you when you get here. Dawn and Scott were the only two staff I dealt with but they were so friendly. I loved the on site laundry, heated pool, and two dog parks. If you're ever doing Historic Tombstone check this place out it's great.

Tombstone RV & Campground
What a nice, relaxing place
While the office was unstaffed upon our arrival, an off-duty camp host met and got us to our site within minutes of arrival. Our 40’ 5th-wheel got in and out as easily as anywhere we’ve been. Many of the folks we met were there for the long term and if that was the plan, we’d have joined them. Community fire pits were nice as were the horseshoe pits. Facilities were clean and available. Loads of trails nearby and with so any things to do in the Tombstone area, we will definitely be back. Only wish our stay wasn’t so short. Absolutely loved the location, surrounding mountains, and the stars. Wow!

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.

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.

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. They gave us numerous recommendations for local cuisine and sightseeing," notes Tony C. about Rancho del Nido.
Water availability varies: Rock Bluff Group Site provides limited facilities. "We stayed at the rock bluff for individual campers though. $20/night. Was a nice area but had no cell service or internet which is super important to us. There are vault toilets nearby and each campsite has a fire pit and picnic table," explains radrealtoraz.
