This is a very small RV park w three spaces (full hook-ups), but they have a laundry room, a quaint sitting area, and a very well-maintained space with lots of charm. The surroundings aren't much to take in, but it's a safe and tranquil space. Not far from Bisbee or Tombstone, and very affordable at $25/nt when we stayed in early February. Most people would likely give this three stars, but I'm giving it four, because I liked Dan and Cisco, and how much they cared about their little park. Thanks, guys!!!

Clean beautiful safe campsite right in an extraordinary park! Good size camp spots with a…read moredesignated tent spot and enough trees for shade. Only bummer and things to keep in mind was that there isn't a fire pit (besides using the Bqq which ended up working out) and no showers.

Fee free park!…read more Beautiful scenic drive, reminiscent of Bryce Canyon and the red hoodoos they have there. I'm insane and did the Big Loop (~13.5 miles, ~4.5hrs). Also camped at Bonita Campground. When I visited, they have a shuttle on Saturdays and Sundays (~9am departure) to so you can do a point to point (one way) decline hike back to your car. Rangers very friendly!

And while this place is a national monument, one thing our government could do instead of all the other nonsense going on is to upgrade this place to a national park. We stopped in here after spending time at Kartchner Caverns and today the scenic drive beyond the campground was closed because of the rain and snow that came down steadily last night. And because of this and due to the amount of time we had, we did a shorter walk along the Silver Spur Meadow. This trail is very easy, well shaded and what a beautiful place to view birds! I think may have seen 15 or more species in just the short walk we did here today. I was also here about 2 years ago and did the Echo Canyon Trail to the Grotto and that was such a lovely easy hike with all sorts of cool rock formations and I enjoyed climbing around. Id like to come back and do a more strenuous hike and when I get a chance, will come back and do the Heart of the Rocks trail! Visitor center is very cool with a really nice gift shop, museum, bathrooms and very informative rangers. Parking lot can be a bit tight but more parking available down the road. I was able to get a fun stuffed sandhill crane! I could spend a lot more time here and just love this place! Great place to get a dose of nature and love how the air feels at close to 5500 feet!

USFS Shannon Campground is a great place to unwind and beat the heat…read more Shannon Campground is small (about 15 campsites) and tucked away along the upper reaches of Marijilda Creek on Mount Graham, a pleasant little brook with wild rhubarb growing on its banks winds through a setting of really tall trees and green grass. Campsites are shaded under mature Engelmann spruce and Douglas-fir. I went up when the temperature in Tucson was + 100 at 9,000 feet the temp remained a steady 65. Shannon is the last campground off the paved road. Recommended RV legth is no larger than 22 ft. Mine is 24 ft. and I made it just fine. Arcadia campground is at around 4,000 ft. and about 20 deg. Warmer. Several campsites are above Shannon, but the road is not paved. You can drive all the way up to Riggs Lake at the top and do some fishing. Native species of trout live in the lake. There are also many hiking trails of varying difficulty. I hiked the Heliograph Trail 328A to the lookout tower, 4 miles round trip. http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/coronado/recreation/camping-cabins/recarea/?recid=25552&actid=50 Notes: There's no running water at this site. Bear proof containers are at sites for food storage. I highly recommend this area and wish you a good time.

Lordsburg, New Mexico…read more There is another Veteran's Park in Deming, NM (South-Central). This Veterans Park is not to be confused with the Deming location as this park is situated in South-West New Mexico near the Arizona border off of I-10. The park is officially closed due to COVID mess. However, we just parked off the road & walked on the front portion of the park where there are plenty of statues, flags, placards & signs, and a tank. Visible from the outside was a large parking structure, more statues & a bunch of picnic tables. This park was an ideal location to take a quick break to stretch the legs, move around a bit, take pictures and the sorts. It's best to walk around or move about on open land during long road trips every 2-3 hours to prevent fatique, blood clots and enjoy the scenery. There are a lot of bugs and flies so keep the doors/windows closed during your break. I am sure the typical desert wildlife such as snakes, etc. are lurking amidst so travel cautiously. Lordsburg is a decent sized town (not city) w/ all the necessary supplies at Love's or Flying J's travel centers (big gas stations). Lordsburg also has various dining options, dollar stores, markets, motels and a fireworks store. Notable places to scope if you are here: 1. Shakespeare Ghost Town (Closed during covid). 2. Lordsburg-Hidalgo County Museum, and 3. Fraggle Rock (open 24/7). Notable regions to visit: 1. Silver City (town) about one hour north and 2. Tombstone, Arizona about two hours west. 3. Whitmire Canyon desert/Animas Mountain Range (very dangerous) about 90 minutes south. 4. Las Cruces/White Sands Missile Base about two hours east. White Sands is where the Atomic Bomb Testing (Manhattan Project) occurred. Travel Safely my friends. @cigarcpa

A state park we visited for the day in New Mexico during our stay at Rockhound State Park…read more It has full hookup sites as well as a day use area. It is on the site of an area where several million years ago, a volcanic eruption threw numerous large boulders on to the landscape. The park has driving areas and hiking trails around and between these boulders. We spent several hours waking through and had lunch in the park at the picnic area. We had a good time exploring the park and recommend a visit if you're in the area.

I hike the Cochise Trail ever few years. There's a lot to see here: rock formations, vistas,…read morebirds, insects and rattlesnakes, and is a challenging hike of ten miles. I usually start this from the west side, driving through Tombstone and taking Middlemarch road north of town for nine miles before turning north on a forest road. This road is a dirt road that gets very rutted the last two miles as it follows a dry wash. This wash fills into a creek during active monsoon season, so a high-clearance vehicle is necessary. Unlike the east side, parking and dry camping on the west side is free. The trail climbs immediately for 1.75 miles before hitting the western Stronghold and from here it's a gradual descent to the eastern trailhead and campground. The only source of water is at Halfmoon tank, a cattle pond about halfway up or down the trail, depending on which direction you start this hike. Lots of butterflies were in the area in September. During active monsoon season, the creek will run and the waterfall on the western side is a sight to behold. My hiking party rests here near the restrooms before returning the way we came. There was no water in the campground last month when I last did this hike. Dogs are allowed The only negative thing about this hike is its remoteness and accessibility. From Sierra Vista it's a two-hour drive each way. Add another five miles for the hike and it's a day-long adventure.

Well we came yesterday to get out of town and visit the dragoon hills…read more This campground is officially closed to all but hikers. They say mountain bikes are permitted but we are riders and I think the trails are too narrow. And slots where you can t pedal. I say hike. So no parking, bathrooms or camping or potable water. But you can park outside the gates. A few did, like us. Since we are new to the site, we only went to the water tank. Lots of shade along the way. Caves. Huge Rock formations. Hawks circling above hunting. Butterflies, BlueJays. Lots to see. I m going to go back while the weather is still cool. It is normally Officially Closed July to September due to extreme temps. Great to use your imagination about where the Apache's would have hidden in wait to protect the Stronghold.
