Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Tombstone, AZ

Tombstone RV & Campground provides pets with generous outdoor space including a spotless, dedicated dog park at the far end of the property. Located about a mile north of downtown Tombstone, this campground welcomes dogs with no breed restrictions, offering tent sites, RV spots with full hookups, and cabin accommodations for pet owners. All sites are level with gravel surfaces, providing ample room for pets to settle in alongside their owners. Pets must remain leashed throughout the common areas, though they can enjoy off-leash play in the designated dog area. Stampede RV Park and Wells Fargo RV Park also accept pets at their centrally located facilities within walking distance of Tombstone's historic district. Most campers report the campground staff are particularly accommodating to pet owners, with many sites featuring enough space for pet gear and exercise needs. The dog park remains consistently clean and well-maintained throughout the year.

Walking trails accessible from Tombstone RV & Campground's rear gate provide excellent pet exercise opportunities through desert terrain. For more adventurous pet owners, the nearby Dragoon Mountains offer dispersed camping with pets allowed and no reservation requirements. These free camping areas provide more primitive accommodations but greater freedom for dogs to explore natural surroundings. When camping with pets in this region, visitors should be mindful of wildlife encounters and extreme temperature fluctuations that can affect animals. During summer months, early morning or evening walks prevent pet paw burns on hot surfaces. While most facilities provide waste stations, bringing extra bags remains advisable. Campground guests regularly note the abundance of desert wildlife visible from campsites, with some reporting deer crossing near Stampede RV Park each evening, adding to the pet-friendly camping experience.

    Dragoon Mountains

    Peaceful Dispersed Camping

    Followed Middlemarch to 687 and picked our own site - plenty of sites to be found, all spaced out really nicely apart from one another. Quiet camping, gorgeous backdrop of Dragoon Mountains, incredible star gazing! About ten minutes from Tombstone.

    Bisbee RV Park

    Quiet and secure

    Tranquil place for people and pets. Facilities, including dog park is clean and community if friendly. No worries except for no campfires and the nightly visits from javelinas. 😊

    Clean and Quiet

    About a mile outside of Tombstone. Very clean, large/wide sites, nice pool, dog parks, large clubhouse with TV, shuffleboard, ping pong, etc. Very helpful staff. Lots of snow birds when we were here...we stayed 2 nights.

    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.

    Dragoon Mountains

    Worth the bumpy ride

    Another app calls this Forest rd 687, probably because where all the camping sites are. Coming from Tombstone you travel on N Middlemarch rd which is 10 miles of dirt washboard and just plain bumpy for 10 miles until FR 687 comes up as you Y to the left. FR 687 is not exactly smooth either and not that wide (maybe 1 1/2 vehicle), but your basically there. From the cattle guard you just went through I would say 2-3 miles of established sites even for the bigger rigs and if your smaller or tent camping, just past the next cattle guard and it goes on and on. It would be hard not to find a site with a beautiful view of the Dragoon Mtn ridge, even from within your rig. Of course that would be after you dust off all the windows. Your roughly at 5000’ so winter camping be prepared for snow on occasion. It also can be a little breezy. I’m up here at the end of December and their calling for snow next week. Plenty of hiking, mtn bike, horseback riding and rock climbing. The locals love it up here too, so there is some traffic. Other than that it is pretty quiet and peaceful. This is all dispersed camping so come well equipped, because if you forget anything the closest town with supplies is Sierra Vista or Benson.

    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.
