    Great stay at Rancho Del Nido

    Great views! Great facility. The hosts were very communicative and helpful. Loads of wineries and hiking trails are a short drive away.

    Great park

    Beautiful 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.

    Lower Juniper Flats Road

    Not for 40ft rigs

    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.

    All fun and games

    Had the best time here definitely one for the books. The saloon is not only a bar but has ton of activities such as pool, corn hole, shuffle bored, line dancing, music and more.

    $50 a night or $25 if you have the vine app $10 to dry camp out front. Huge space took our 40ft Rv 50 and 30amp hook ups. Some Grass area for dogs. Very friendly people here. Lots of fun.

    Whitewater Draw Wildlife Area

    Didn’t really find the site

    Cant 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.

    Small but Cute

    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

    Beautiful views quiet and peaceful

    Met 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.

    Tombstone Territories RV Park

    Nice big lots!

    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.

    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.

    Quarter Horse Motel & RV Park

    December in Benson

    We called and spoke with the office, they said they had a spot for us. We were able to go look at the sites there were only a handful open, we parked and had fhu. Internet is additional from another provider. Paid monthly rate plus electric. Everything is within walking distance. Right off the main road and the train tracks are close by and run 24/7. Staff is helpful but office is closed on weekends, but if you call and set it up they have a number to call and they will be there in a few minutes. Has pay laundry. Bathroom and showers.

    Escapees only

    First class RV park where only members of the Escapees 

    rv club may lease or rent a site. Most sites have a casita which are taxed locally as "sheds". The waiting list to lease a site is several years. I am currently number 248 on the  list. 2o months ago I was 350. It is also a 55+ years old RV park

    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.

    Hot Well Dunes Recreation Area

    AMAZING

    I have been full timing in my 22 ft travel Trailer for 2.5 years.. this easily is one of my fav spots. Camping is $3a day near the hot wells but outside the recreation area, is all BLM camping. Hot wells right next to our spot were amazing. I just wish they were working all 24 hours a day. The wells are pumped by a solar pump so cloud coverage or night mean the solar pumps aren’t pumping. But they fill up about an hour after sunrise and about an hour after sunset it drains. We were the only ones there for 4 days. It was awesome

    Encore Valley Vista

    Great Stay

    Such a nice Campground. The host was friendly, and helpful. 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. All an easy drive away. I would definitely stay here again.

    Colossal Cave Mountain Park

    Great spot just off Arizon Trail

    Nice spot just off the AZT, stayed while on a bike trip on the trail. Camped in the La Selvilla section in the back of the canyon. Plenty of room and spots are not too tight and most had shade trees. All had flat tent pad, table and fire ring. There is a group spot with a pavilion that has running water, and pit toilets. Verizon was one bar, got a few calls out but text would not work. They do lock the gate at 4:00, so once in, you are there for the night. Only one other group when we were there. Would go back for sure.

    Sunny Flat Campground

    Very scenic

    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

    Desert Oasis Campground

    Amazing place!

    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

    Stampede for the win!

    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!

    AZT/ Parker Trailhead Dispersed

    Not really a Campsite

    We stayed here in late August to hike the AZ Trail, but it isn't really a campsite. We set up a tiny tent in the tall grass, but there isn't a designated place to set-up camp, fire pit, etc. Also, it might get busy with cars during the more popular hiking seasons because it is a starting point for both passage 1 and 2 of the Arizona Trail. That being said, it worked for us for one night. It had a nice view of the lake.

    Scotia Canyon - Coronado National Forest

    One on my favorites

    This is site is always a fun time, i’ve been camping along this dirt road so many times and now make it a yearly visit. All of these photos are different years. For greener grass I recommend going any month before late August! All photos taken with dry grass is October various years. Tons of dispersed camping sites and pull offs along the dirt road once you pass Parker Canyon Lake area. Good hiking in the area, tons of wildlife. Watch out for rattlesnakes and javelina especially if you have dogs with you! Most of the sites have fire rings already established so you don’t have to do much work. I’d rate it 11/10!
