    Pinery Canyon Road Dispersed Camping - Coronado National Forest

    Beautiful

    Spent one night on 7/12 at the second campsite a little ways down the road after the GPS says you’ve arrived at the location. About 30 minute drive from the Chiricahuas. Good parking for my SUV, nice fire ring, multiple spaces for a tent. Quiet and secluded in the trees. People drove up and down the road during the evening, but no one stopped nearby or could be heard. I did not drive further past this camp site, so it’s unclear the condition of the other sites down the road. Absolutely no cell phone service.

    West Turkey Creek Dispersed

    Beautiful and isolated

    This spot was quiet, isolated, beautiful, and serene. I didn’t see anyone else here when I went and didn’t see/hear any wildlife besides birds. I also didn’t have any cell reception (T-Mobile), which was fine by me! Temperatures were cool under the shade of the trees. Perfect for pitching a tent for a few nights.

    The only con is that it is a bit out of the way, with 8-10 miles of unmaintained dirt road to get there. In my experience, the road was pretty washboard the whole way.

    I think it’s worth the drive to get to the area, but it can just take a while to get to/from, especially if you’re like me and have a normal car that you at least kind of care about..

    Tombstone RV & Campground

    Pick a tombstone & be welcomed by the buzzards!🪦

    We embraced the WildWest and chose to stay at Tombstone RV park. The whole trip didn't disappoint! This place is so nice. We were welcomed and escorted to our plot🤣, got settled, and were welcomed by a donkey and its owner that were visiting as well. Bathrooms and showers are clean, and it was nice to do laundry. The pool was crystal clear and refreshing in the AZ heat. 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 cemetary and the legendary downtown Tombstone and the OK Corral. We even got to ride in a stagecoach! We absolutely loved our stay, and we'll be seeing y'all real soon!🐎🪦🌵

    Upper Juniper Flats Road

    Nice views with easy access to Tombstone and Bisbee

    Views of Bisbee, Douglas and Sierra Vista. Lots of open sites when we visited. Much cooler weather than the lower valley.

    Bonita Canyon Campground — Chiricahua National Monument

    Beautiful campground

    Bonita Campground is tucked in on a quiet road in Chiricahua National Monument. Lots of tree shade and nicely maintained campsites. Water, bathrooms, trash and gray water dump made this campground convenient. No campfire rings and fires were prohibited when we stayed there.

    Heads up parking spots can be small depending on what campsite you get. Our group of four stayed at campsite 21 and campsite 18. Campsite 21 could only fit one truck while campsite 18 could fit two cars.

    Tombstone Camp on Forest Road 687

    Great place to stay!

    As others have already mentioned, the road leading to the forest entry is very much a washboard, but other than getting there, the site itself was very beautiful. Many to select from and a lot of privacy. The morning views were very beautiful. Can't wait to do it again.

    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.

    Queen Mine RV Park

    Still a favorite of mine

    Very cool spot. Walking distance to a lot of what Bieber has to offer. Clean restrooms with shower stalls and laundry. Hosts are super nice. Full hooks ups. I like that it’s in gravel and not dirt. I try to go here every time I’m close.

    West Hunt Road

    Great national forest campsite

    Large level valley with approx 20 designated spots. No facilities. Awesome rock views. 4 miles bumpy dirt road is worth. We did it with a 25 foot travel trailer
