Located on the west side of the Chiricahuas, Sycamore Campground straddles the banks of West Turkey Creek, a small perennial stream that cascades into the campground down a series of small waterfalls and through a rocky cleft decorated with wildflowers. These sycamore- and oak-shaded sites are located near the end of Turkey Creek Road in an area that serves as a jumping off place into the Chiricahua Wilderness. A number of trails start in the vicinity of the campground and climb to destinations and connecting trails high in the mountains. If you’re a hiker or an equestrian, you’ll find this an excellent base of operations with enough nearby trail miles to keep you busy for quite a while. Note: Black bears in area.

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
Scout
I tried to stay here, and they had openings, but I was in a Tesla and refused service. I have an adapter. Looked like a nice place, but couldn’t stay because of ignorance.
Scout
Rusty runs a tight ship, and the state of the campground reflects that. All services work properly and facilities are neat and clean. Price is $35 per night and absolutely no refunds are given for any reason (you sign a separate agreement to that effect).
Legend
Level gravel sites. FHU worked fine; appears to be maintained. Nice staff, well stocked store. Would stay here again.
TravelerMet up with traveling family for a week of visiting and exploring the area. Was last minute gathering and owner, James made it work . Two big rigs and a campervan. Beautiful views. Conveniently located to many attractions. Definitely recommend this campground. Owner and staff very friendly.
Guide
Very clean spacious well kept KOA. Cafe on site with nice staff and good food. The sites are super roomy. Staff is very friendly. I10 is noisy but really didn't mind that at all being tired from our travels. Fire pit and pool. Really nice place.
LegendFriendly staff, level sites, clean and well laid out. Cafe has a full menu and it was clean and well run.
LegendNice CG for our overnight stay. Plenty of amenities. Guy in the office was very helpful. Level gravel spots, FHUs were in good order. Road noise from I-10 and trains on the Southrn Pacific - not a bother for us. We would stay here again.
ScoutSites have spaces between rigs to breathe. There is a large club house for weekly get togethers with food. Pool tables, paddle ball, library, videos, showers, rest rooms. Laundry area with washer/dryers. Tons of space for boon dockers. Close to Bisbee, Warren, and a Safeway shopping ctr . Minutes from Sierra Vista. Beautiful sky
GuideStaff is not as friendly as other KOAS.
GuideNice little place to shower, and relax. Lots of wildlife. Though I would say tent sites are a bit pricey, compared to all the free camping in the area. Extremely affordable for RVs compared to area though. Bisbee is a wonderful town and I’d def recommend checking it out while you’re around. An air bnb in the area would be spectacular!
TravelerNice campground, escorted to site, easy hook up. Good Wi-Fi and cable TV selection. Staff was very nice. Grounds are well maintained.
RangerLarge sites, lots of amenities including a restaurant & pool, easy access to the highway, friendly staff.
GuideRusty does a lot to keep this little rv park a cool place to visit. She’s built trails and has goats/birds that the campers can interact with. Showers are lovely. The gathering hall and laundry room is clean and inviting.
ScoutLovely piece of desert surrounded by mountains. Trails to meander and a clubhouse with tables, chairs, couches, library, games and other amenities. Nice people.
LegendQuality park. Great dog walking area, laundry, store, restaurant, and pool. Very friendly staff. Sites are large for a KOA. All gravel though. Highway noise is significant.
TravelerEveryone was super kind and sweet, restrooms/laundry center were very clean and well maintained. Tent camping spots are in front of the park, where the truck wash across the street can be heard prevalently. Cats everywhere are cute and sweet but I’m pretty sure they use the tent spots as their litter box.
ScoutGreat people. Park is amazingly quiet at night. Clean and well kept. We don't use park showers or wifi, but everything we need was top notch. Spaces are level and gravel.
ScoutOur Space was level and had good Wi-Fi . Felt safe and got a good nights rest. Dirt and gravel.
LegendThis resort is not fancy with a lot of bells and whistles but does have large sites, peace and quiet, a laid back vibe, friendly host and residents, and nature trails with great desert birds. And this campground is very dog friendly. Laundry, showers and bathrooms are all in great working order. Clubhouse with pool tables, Dish TVs, library, dvds and pellet stoves is very cozy. Propane can be ordered and dropped at your door! Mountain Views all around and sunsets are amazing.
LegendVery well maintained with decent size sites and ample area to run your dogs. I would give this 5 stars if not for Highway noise. If that does not bother you too much then stay here!
GuideIt lives up to its name. Super friendly camp host and staff. Quiet and remote. Huge sites and large well equipped clubhouse. Only 2sets of laundry machines so you need to time that right but never supper busy when we needed them. Nice nature trail around large property. I put the loop @ 1.8 miles but they claim 3 mi. total trail. We are wintering here. Close to Douglas and Bisbee.
GuideSmall campground with 28 level sites. All hookups avail. Tent sites offered dry or with electricity. $17.00 - $20.00. However, those sites are next to club house. We elected to take a full hookup site, although We only needed electricity. $27.00 + tax with Good Sam discount. 1 shower for all and 1 ea toilets for M& W. Nice club House with pool tables, TV’s, etc. Great wi-fi and cell coverage (AT&T). Great accommodating host, clean facilities, great views.
ScoutVery nice place, well maintained. Very quiet place too. Perfect for astronomer / stargazing. Concrete pad (could support 2 telescopes) are available with power outlet to run all astronomy gear. Bring some tie down, the wind could be very strong. Highly recommend this place.
(Very poor wifi internet connection)
I was there 3 times in 8 months… August, February and April.
TravelerFrom the moment I drove in I knew this was going to be an okay RV park. I hate RV parks! I only stay in them to do laundry and take long hot showers. Super dog friendly, great clubhouse, hosts were fantastic and so willing to help. Great trails around the property to walk dogs! The only complaint…those dang goat head burs.
ScoutSelected this RV park for the following reasons: Passport America discount, not along the railroad, I-10 or in the desert. It’s small and funky, weedy with, to our Bull terrier’s delight, many cats. They are dog-friendly and not too impressed with themselves like the more upscale and expensive RV parks are. $18 per night with full hookups. We’ve been boondocking out at Roosevelt lake for 2 weeks and this was convenient for laundry etc. Would stop here again for an overnighter with the 50% PA discount.
ScoutAllie and Spiro do a great job managing this park. Very friendly and helpful. Sites are gravel with picnic tables. Restaurant on site as well as propane. Full hookups, Kamp K9. Nice clean showers and laundry.
