Bonita Canyon campground was built during the 1930's by Civilian Conservation Corps workers that were paid $1.00 a day plus room and board. It was designed in an era when Model T's were still popular and campers used WWI surplus army tents. Most of the sites are small, very small. And they have only grown smaller as cars, RV's, trailer... more

Stayed 1 nite on 1 /19/21. $10 with Senior National Parks pass. Make sure you reserve a spot ahead of arriving as not many were available. Dry camping. Wooded and secluded small campground, which makes it so special. Sites are small and tight but perfect for our 22' Sprinter. Pay attention to the 24' RV length limits because the campgr... more

The 30-foot Cruise America left its mark on the campground: two large gouges in the paved wash, colored with its white bumper paint. The campground is serious about the 24-foot RV limit - that being a 24-foot motorhome or a 24-foot trailer, not including tow vehicle. Many good reasons, including tight turns, low branches and two unav... more

This is probably one of my top favorite camping sites. It was pitch black at night and not a sound to be heard. I got such great sleep here. The campsite area is small and right - site 11 fit our 25 ft Airstream perfectly but anything bigger through the curves will be hard and difficult. NO cell reception miles from the park so it was ... more

This park is a gem, and it is worth it to stay there, as there aren't many good camping options nearby. Rigs larger than 24 feet are not allowed past the visitors center, so the campground and scenic drive would be out. Even the visitor center doesn't have RV spaces, so I'm not sure where a bigger vehicle would even go to turn around. ... more

We are Arizona natives from Phoenix. We took a week to explore southern AZ. This campground in the Chiricahua monument is a real hidden gem. Small so I’m sure it is full all summer. No power so the generator was necessary. The closest store is in Pearce so bring everything. It was in the 30s a night 50s during the day. The hikes ar... more

Beautiful campground with open spots. We didn’t have reservations and with America the Beautiful pass would have only been $10 a nite. But internet only works by office. Park rangers were terrific and was well worth drive. Can’t bring large rig and even our smaller 25 footer had difficulty turning around. Also be careful driving there ... more

High rating because - This place looked awesome for a campground and we really wanted to stay there, but it didn't work out for us. Reality - We ran drove through the first 5-6 sites before the drop off into the creek which our 24' bumper pull made it without scraping anything. We ran into the camp host at that point and he asked... more
