It works!

Pulled in for the night during a cross country trip. It’s exactly as it’s explained. Quiet, easy to find, dark. There was a few other campers there when we visited. Very, very close to the main drag in “downtown” Tombstone. It’s $5 per vehicle and $10 per trailer. It was my wife’s car and our pop up and my truck and a utility trailer. $30 total wasn’t bad for what it is.

No water No electricity No bathrooms but alongside the rodeo pin there was clean porta potties we used. Maybe one street light for the pull in area I can’t remember. Easy drop box payment.

Would definitely return if I was in the area again.

A Gem of a Campground

This place is perfect for dry camping a short distance from historic Main Street Tombstone. There were no amenities, so be prepared! You cannot beat the price! For car/tent camping there are some private spaces with a little shade and evidence of past campfires. Be sure to stay to the left of the sign to go into the lower camping area. Pay your 10 bucks at the drop box.

Walking distance to downtown

Came in about midnight, pitch black out. A bit confused at first on whete to go. Go down the road past the Courthouse and past the day parking lot. The road to the camping area is on the left of the campground sign. Pay box, $10 night. Well worth it to be within walking distance. Be prepared to level rv as the spots are no where near level. Visit mid week, so it was fairly quiet. Bring CASH, as many places don't accept cards. We'll be back!

Downtown

Can't beat the price or location for this place. Yards away from the main streets. You also might make it for a pro rodeo event. Generator friendly if needed.
