It's a great campground with bathrooms and water sources. However though the hike to the Heart Of Rocks from the visitor center is way harder now than it was a couple of years ago.
@SheldonC14776B · Camped on Jun 3, 2025 at Campsite #11
Quiet, off the grid camping experience - no big rigs ( 24 trailer length limit), no toy haulers, quads or Razors. Crickets, woodpeckers and blue jays own the soundscape.

Too many dogs!
@LanyC2E75CDCF1 · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #13
Very remote location, but we found it worth the trip. Campground is shaded and within walking distance of the visitor's center. Loved the long hikes among the incredible rock formations. We even saw coatimundi!

A lovely campground very well looked after and the hosts were very active around the campsites.
@GregoryH810400 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #2
Very beautiful. The campground was very nice. Large tree covered sites, clean bathrooms, and great camp hosts. We saw a variety of animals and many of them. It was a great place.

Had a great trip and the rangers at the visitors center were very informative and gave excellent recommendations for trail heads.
@Tommyand6E2966 · Camped on May 21, 2025 at Campsite #11
The campground is small. Sites are well spaced. Restrooms are clean. The staff we interacted with were all very friendly and helpful. The Memorial is filled with post card perfect scenes.

Was clean and quiet.

Beautiful site!
@MatthewP515566 · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #5
Nice and quiet. A little colder that we had expected, so come prepared :-)
@RandyZ6FEE4CAA · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #21
This campground was full both nights we were there but it was still one of the quietest campgrounds ever. Sites were a little closer together than we like but again, no problems since we lucked out with all considerate fellow campers. We were there in late May and fire restrictions were in place. No campfires allowed which is probably why it was so quiet.

Had a grand time at the Bonita Canyon Campground! Beautiful spot to bring my Braxton Creek FreeSolo Teardrop Camper. Had two choices on spots (#1 and 11) at the time I made the reservation and was happy I choose #1! Friendly Camp Host (Lee) and the staff at the Visitor Center was also very friendly!
@RobertM1452522 · Camped on May 5, 2025 at Campsite #3
Well maintained, quiet.
@JamesH5225020 · Camped on May 5, 2025 at Campsite #4
Bonita Canyon Campground is a very nice campground for tents to 24 ft RV's with no hookup's. The host Lee did a great job and was very friendly and helpful. I camped 2 nights and did 4 hikes.... Heart of Rocks Loop from the Visitor Center the first afternoon, the Massai Nature Trail and the Grottoes the 2nd day and the Natural Bridge Trail Hike the last morning. Chiricahua National Monument is a hidden treasure that everyone should visit and enjoy... it's a magical place! There is no cell coverage in most of the park. There was 1 bar signal at Sugarloaf Parking area, good enough for texts.There is WiFi at the Visitor Center, so I was able to stay in touch with friends and family using WhatsApp over WiFi.

Top Campground. Beautiful place
@EdwardB9523394 · Camped on May 4, 2025 at Campsite #22
This is a beautiful campground in a wonderful location. The sites have good sized tent pads that are level and well maintained. Past the campground there are great hiking trails and overlooks. Prior to the campground is the historic ranch with interpretive signs. The campground is quite a bit cooler than the surrounding area, so be prepared for a chilly night. Only negative comment is the limited bathroom facility compared to the number of people staying here. Maybe add a few port-o-lets for the busy times?
@KathrynF278383 · Camped on May 3, 2025 at Campsite #8
Gorgeous, clean site. Lovely camp host. Love coming here!
@GretchenT73542 · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #2
We love this part of AZ and the park but this was the first time we stayed at the campsite. Beautiful, clean campsite - we were very pleased and would certainly come again!
@HaleyTod76D83C · Camped on May 1, 2025 at Campsite #11
Great, dog-friendly campground! We did the Silver Spur Meadow Trail straight from the campsite and saw lots of turkey and deer and a couple coatimundis. Bathrooms were clean and camp host was super friendly.
@LindaD1471143 · Camped on Apr 28, 2025 at Campsite #12
Lovely clean campground supported by knowledgeable, friendly professionals and volunteers. It is a pleasure to discover a camping space, which caters to the needs of tent campers and small camping rigs. I enjoyed the emphasis on quietude and dark skies.
@HaroldOD98E2CF · Camped on Apr 28, 2025 at Campsite #8
Spots are little tight. Definitely i wouldn't take over a 19ft trailer. We loved the campground .Lots of shade. Reserved clean and flush toilets. Hosts were very informative.
@Rickp8849110 · Camped on Apr 27, 2025 at Campsite #18
A must see for everyone.
@PatriciaM16546 · Camped on Apr 25, 2025 at Campsite #10
Great shade, quiet surroundings and nice restrooms.
@LeonardMF46812 · Camped on Apr 22, 2025 at Campsite #3
Bonita Canyon is in a beautiful location with plenty of shade. Easy access to the trail to Faraway Ranch. A shuttle ride to the top of the mountain is offered 4 days a week, allowing campers to hike about 5 miles back down to the campground. Turkeys are frequent visitors around the campsites.

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.
