Quiet campground. Lots of birdsong. A really relaxing experience.

This was our first stop on a three week cross country road trip and it's still one of my favorite campgrounds. Southern Arizona and it's summer. But in the canyons, among the trees, it was really a beautiful, serene place. Our campsite was located along a dry creek bed. It's a large site with lots of room to stretch out. Keep an eye on the weather. We had two monsoon-type storms in two days.

@NoelLF4C59B4B7 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #8

Such a nice campground and limited to 25 spots. Though it could use another bathroom, the one and only was hardly full nor have a line. Nice trails and the Chiricahua National Monument are next to you. We got some rain but no biggie.....Lots of birds....Balanced Rocks and the history of the place were awesome.......Spot 8 is ADA and most spots have electric hook-up ONLY for Medical Devices....We'll be back....

This is a lovely campground and it felt like everyone camping was very polite.--no raucous parties or late-night noise, even on a holiday weekend. The space was designed well and the bathrooms with regular flush toilets were welcome! Wildlife walks through the campground and the bird watching is top tier. That said, late May/early June was already too late in the year. It was 90 degrees in the shade at the height of the day and there's no open water like a creek or lake to cool off. (There are conveniently placed water spigots and every site has a bear box). There was a load of flies, which wasn't related to trash, maybe just because of the amount of rain over the winter? Overall, I can't wait to visit again but it will be a late fall or winter camping trip.

@TomH4673678 · Camped on May 19, 2024 at Campsite #14

Site 14 was very comfortable and clean. Lots of birds and wildlife in the area. Bathrooms small but clean; nice to have lights and flush toilets. Visitor center very close, with free wifi available.

@BruceW24312111 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #9

Friendly visitor center staff, available campground host, beautiful location. Quiet during my visit. Nice tree coverage over most of the camp sites. Great place to stay.

@SalvatoreD5F58 · Camped on May 16, 2024 at Campsite #6

Lovely campsite & campground. Wish I spent more time here

@BenDin653D14CD · Camped on May 12, 2024 at Campsite #11

This is a beautiful campsite with flush toilet and running water. Some sites are small and unleveled, but our site (site 11 was perfect - wider & leveled.

@JeffO643462914 · Camped on May 12, 2024 at Campsite #21

You must like your neighbor in this campground. They are close by. If the Hoo Dos were not here to hike amongst, I would not be here either.

@KarenT7749653 · Camped on May 10, 2024 at Campsite #11

Wonderful campground. Very quiet. Well shaded. Some water spigots did not work, so make sure you come fully prepared. Bathrooms were clean and stocked. The visitor center is very nice and informative. The night sky is unbeatable; highly recommend driving up to Sugarloaf or Massai points for an endless starry night sky view. Dogs are very limited on where they can go; I wish there were more trails with dog access for those of us who are responsible dog owners and pick up after our pets. You will be off grid with very limited cell service at the top of the vista points and the wifi at the visitor center...but that's perfect for those of us wanting a true getaway.

@MikeG7513747 · Camped on May 7, 2024 at Campsite #25

Love the area and love this campground! We were there during the week in the earlier part of May and it was quiet. I really like the size of the campground with only 25 sites. Camp host was very friendly, and campsites were well maintained, bathrooms were much cleaner this year than last! Plan on coming back next year!

@GretchenSF5773 · Camped on May 5, 2024 at Campsite #13

Overall campground was great. Plenty of wildlife walking around (deer, turkey, jays) to keep it entertaining. CG is very shaded but enough sun to use your solar panels at different times of the day. Rustic in that the sites don't appear to be groomed (leaves and natural debris removed). No problem. just clear the leaves before setting anything up. They are full of moths and spiders that will visit you in the evening if you don't. Bathrooms are clean enough to use, but you are bombarded by moths and spiders in the evening. Annoying, but not a big problem. The sink drain was clogged with moth carcasses the five days we were there. Two water wells/pumps were out of order. Would stay again. Recommend to the service that the CG could use some attention.

@JAMESS8693241 · Camped on May 5, 2024 at Campsite #20

A beautiful and quiet campground with plenty of shade, water available and gray water disposal. Since there are several sites and cottages with electricity, I think they should provide it throughout the campground. Its too shady for effective solar. A trip to the top of the mountain is well worth it, with a choice of hiking routes back down. Nice hikes in the canyon as well. Be sure to check the map that shows actual site lengths before booking! Pay attention to the angle of the sites as some require wrong way entry.

@AlfredaKA9F04C · Camped on May 4, 2024 at Campsite #9

Beautiful campsites. We have tents so cant speak for RV use. The bathrooms were clean and had water/soap. The sites were clean. We were able to fit my old Nissan Armada and my friends Dodge Durango in the parking spot of spot 09. My other friend had spot 10 and her big truck took the whole spot at the location. No way two cars could fit. So just beware when choosing spots. Besides that it was awesome to go hiking early because we were already there. Echo Canyon with teens. And some of us moms did The Big Loop at sunrise and it was amazing. I would go back and I would definitely recommend this camp site. No issues. Follow the rules (Bear Country so store your stuff in their boxes or locked car) and keep it as clean as you found it. Enjoy!

@JohnR2194126 · Camped on May 3, 2024 at Campsite #5

Camp site #5 was level, shady, close to water, and an easy walk to the bathroom. Echo Canyon trail was amazingly beautiful.

Lovely campground!

@ThomasS5574085 · Camped on Apr 28, 2024 at Campsite #26

Clean up was no good in some place.(Ex. Inside of Bear Box)

@paula9352969 · Camped on Apr 27, 2024 at Campsite #21

Small campsites with no privacy - I almost set up my tent at the adjacent site by accident because they're so tight together. Each site does have a bear box. Headlights/flashlights from several sites down the road readily lit up my tent at night. Cramped bathhouse has one sink and no shelf to put your stuff while you're in there. There were only two commodes, which meant there were many times when they were full. No paper towels, only a hand dryer which was inexplicably mounted so close to the floor you either had to bend over or squat down to use it. The last straw was the wild turkeys roaming the campsite and loudly calling out to each other about an hour or so before sunrise. So no sleeping in. No cell coverage in the campground (or elsewhere in the monument) except for the mountaintop parking lots at the end of the drive.

@JamesW5759385 · Camped on Apr 25, 2024 at Campsite #8

Scenic campground. Well maintained with plenty of trees. Flush toilets and running water is the bathroom sinks an added bonus.

@ThomasM8282631 · Camped on Apr 25, 2024 at Campsite #18

Park is beautiful located at the base of the mountain and start of the valley trail.

@PaulG9606243 · Camped on Apr 22, 2024 at Campsite #5

Clean, well-shaded and quiet location. With about 20 sites and significant distance between sites, it was remarkably quiet. The noisiest experience was the flocks of wild turkeys that came into the camp (once at 5:00 a.m.) but it was a fun kind of wake up alarm. This sets the bar high for every other park campground...

@TONYH785039207 · Camped on Apr 21, 2024 at Campsite #7

Quiet, low-key, shady, relatively small with a great campground host. A variety of fun hikes with wildlife. Remote. One of very few campgrounds with many ground tenters like ourselves. The few RVers running generators fortunately were quiet and obeyed the rules. Probably our favorite NPS campground despite the aggressive Mexican jays! Our only criticism is the small, kinda rundown bathrooms. But hey ... We were camping!

@KimC2311597 · Camped on Apr 19, 2024 at Campsite #2

The campground was very nice and the location was perfect. It is out in the middle of nowhere with no services, cell, groceries, gas, etc. but absolutely beautiful.

@ColleenW569566 · Camped on Apr 18, 2024 at Campsite #14

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
