Great campsite and beautiful park.

@abigE5E308124A · Camped on Nov 9, 2024 at Campsite #13

The place was beautiful! We got to see wild life up close. It was a great experience and the staff are very involved with the people who come in. The only thing that was tricky was that there was no fire pit and floor fires are not aloud. So bring something to use for a campfire

Great campground close to amazing hikes!

@JeffreyK015481 · Camped on Nov 6, 2024 at Campsite #15

Nice campground with good tree cover, which would be important in the summer. Sites are reasonably large. Camp hosts were very visible if we had any questions or needed anything.

Great host. Nice little campground. Very nice national monument. Very good visitor center.

@TERRIB3425160 · Camped on Nov 5, 2024 at Campsite #7

Bonita is a lovely campground. No supplies available locally so come prepared. I wish we could have stayed another day to walk more trails. Its a beautiful location full of history, animals and amazing rock formations.

@ARLETTESD4176B · Camped on Nov 1, 2024 at Campsite #22

Great site! Very well maintained, and loved the Sky Islands presentation from one of the rangers

@RogerC4303359 · Camped on Oct 31, 2024 at Campsite #18

The campground is beautiful with lots of wild life. We had deer and coatis drinking at the water tap next to our campsite. There are terrific views from the top of the ridge.

@ScottL9124908 · Camped on Oct 27, 2024 at Campsite #25

Neat little campground, very quiet. Dont forget to take advantage of dark skies from the amphitheater.

Another wonderful visit to my favorite park in AZ, Chiricahua MM. Plan at least 2 nights in order to see more the park. We took the shuttle up to Massai Point and hiked back to the visitor center. We hiked Echo Canyon Loop and the late afternoon lighting was amazing in the Grotto - brought out the colors and shadows. We looked at the night sky from the road - unbelievable number of stars and even saw the Milky Way. Walked around Far Away Ranch and through the area where the CCC lived while building the trails in the Park. Very nice Visitor Center with staff who all knew everything there is to know about the Park!! The only down side is we did not get to see the Coatimundi 'squadron' and the 4 mo old kittens. We did see lots of birds, many from our campsite. Thanks for another great visit.

Wonderful campground! Bathrooms were very clean!

@PaulE4932327 · Camped on Oct 20, 2024 at Campsite #24

Chiricahua National Monument is an amazing place, and the campground was great.

@WILLIAMM503355 · Camped on Oct 7, 2024 at Campsite #11

Great stopping point for the one night I had.

@MichaelW725874 · Camped on Oct 6, 2024 at Campsite #25

Great campsite

@DeannaS4104291 · Camped on Oct 4, 2024 at Campsite #13

Site 13 had a lot of privacy, several deer came near our site as well as wild turkeys, it was great!

@MonicaF9297E7E · Camped on Oct 1, 2024 at Campsite #6

Our stay was Awesome! The campsite was impeccably clean and we were the first ones to use the brand new grill! It was fun watching the deer and turkeys walk through camp. Luckily we never saw the bear who left scat 20 yards from camp. The only downfall was the 2 other campers who came into our campsite to rudely complain about us using a generator. We had checked the website before we went and quite time is 8pm to 8am. At 7pm two nights this happened. We even checked with the host. I would definitely go back to this beautiful campground!

@BethC1278019 · Camped on Oct 1, 2024 at Campsite #20

I was impressed that the camp hosts made regular rounds to check on campers. Bathroom was kept clean. I love this campground!

@AndrewH3730305 · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #26

Everyone I worked with preparing for and executing this trip was phenomenal! First I talked with Marin, a wonderful very helpful kind person. Then I worked with Fin who was very selfless and passionate about the park and our upcoming stay, teaching me about the Coati and talking about the Bear that may visit our campsite. Then Suzzanne Moody called me back to help me regarding my reservation. And finally when we got there we were greeted by a wonderful Campsite Ranger named Andrew. He was very helpful making sure our scouts followed all of the rules regarding hammocks, not collecting wood, etc. Then he let us borrow a hatchet and and ax to prepare the large pieces of wood into sizes ready for our Saturday Scout Campfire program. Everyone was very kind, generous, and went out of their way to make our Scouts have a very memorable lasting impression of Chiricahua National Monument!

@LarryTEB21655C · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #11

This is a nice campground but could be a great campground with a bit of improvement. Perhaps that will come if the monument does indeed achieve national park status. For now, many of the water stations are closed due, I was told, to faulty pipes. We have a 17 trailer and many of the sites cannot accommodate trailers of this size; the majority of sites are for tents. With that, the Chiricahuas are spectacular and worthy of exploration. We had a great stay in site 11 (one of the longest, mostly level).

@KyleG6724629 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #12

This site was well kept and the views are beautiful!

@AnnJ7820495 · Camped on Aug 31, 2024 at Campsite #10

Love this campground but so many sites closed. Also the bathroom is so far from the group site which is hard with small kids who suddenly have to go.

@DanielB4603573 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #14

It was breathtaking, the views were phenomenal! However, the vibe wasn't very welcoming, and the campsite wasn't ideal. Lots of tree cover as well.

@TracyB1260578 · Camped on Aug 19, 2024 at Campsite #9

Bonita canyon campground was very spacious and extra clean. The camp host was very nice and made rounds often. He notified us immediately when a bear was spotted half a mile from camp. No worries it never came into the camp areas. The camp did have many deer grazing in our area. Many meadows were full of wildflowers. Would have willingly paid for an electric hook up if available.

@DanN5687284 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #10

Tentative camp hosts. Clean sites and facilities.

@JernejPB380518 · Camped on Aug 12, 2024 at Campsite #15

Very calm and peaceful, lots of shade

@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!!!
