Great little campground, very nice and helpful host. And of course the Chiricahuas are gorgeous.

While this campsite is not private at all - separated from the next site by just a short fence, it was fine. Fortunately, the parties camped next to us were friendly. All campsites are near several hiking trails. Campground hosts were present and friendly. Bathrooms were clean. Lots of water faucets throughout the campground.

One of the best campgrounds on our trip.very clean, beautiful trees and well managed! When we plan our next trip to Arizona it will be the first to make advanced reservations.
@RobertB1128095 · Camped on Mar 1, 2026 at Campsite #22

@Elizabeth93265 · Camped on Feb 28, 2026 at Campsite #15
This is a peaceful, clean, well-run campground. Access to trails is excellent. The Chiricahuas are such a beautiful mountain range! The geology is beautiful and fascinating and the botanical diversity is stunning. Dont miss the sunset from Massai Point!

Beautiful spot. Such a wonderful campground and monument. Visit here if you considering it
@SarahB5025907 · Camped on Feb 28, 2026 at Campsite #9
This little jem of a park should not be missed. With only 25 camping sites you need to book in advance, the limit is 29 ft in length but the sites are all very big on space and privacy.so many wonderful hiking trails.flush toilets but no showers.
@LuAnnB2468800 · Camped on Feb 27, 2026 at Campsite #23
Campground host, shuttle driver, rangers were all friendly and helpful. Shuttle available on the weekends.

Great campground, and in grove of what appeared to be oak trees so theres lots of shade. They have running water in the bathroom, so the only improvement really would be if they had showers.
@MonikaW3E6D1FE · Camped on Feb 26, 2026 at Campsite #22
I love this campground. And the bathroom is nicely renovated. There are little hooks, so I didn't have to place my bag on the floor. Same with the towel. I am trying to come every year, at least for one night, so I can go hiking and rest.
@ConnieP5857146 · Camped on Feb 24, 2026 at Campsite #6
Bonita Campground is set in quiet woodlands with breathtaking views of rock walls. The bathrooms are well tended and clean. The hike to Faraway Ranch is an easy and enjoyable 2 miles round trip from the Bonita Campground through a beautiful wooded area. Be very careful to read and believe the restriction for each campsite. Most campsites have a limited ability to back into due to large rocks or trees and a narrow street. Small campers and tent will have the easiest time getting situated in most campsites. We love this campground! It is a great base camp for all of the great hiking trails in the Chiricahua Mountains. Don't miss the Echo Canyon Loop!

Beautiful area, clean campground
@JamesF9843907 · Camped on Feb 22, 2026 at Campsite #18
Camp host Eric was super helpful. We loved the campground and the trails.
@BronwynRD85C86 · Camped on Feb 21, 2026 at Campsite #9
Snagged a last minute spot at Bonita Canyon, and so glad we did. Campground was beautiful, and spaces didnt feel cramped, despite being relatively close together. Was concerned about previous review that mentioned rodent activity but we had no issues. Will definitely be back!
@EricG3571303 · Camped on Feb 20, 2026 at Campsite #9
This was a clean, nice, wooded campground. Clean restrooms.
@DennisV9860303 · Camped on Feb 20, 2026 at Campsite #25
Campground was clean and well-cared for. VIP camp hosts were very attentive.
@DeborahS476998 · Camped on Feb 19, 2026 at Campsite #10
Nice, quiet, shady campground. While theres only one bathroom, it has flush toilets and sinks. Stayed 2 nights. One of the hosts was EXTREMELY helpful getting us parked.
@JohnR2194126 · Camped on Feb 19, 2026 at Campsite #18
Site 18 - Very nice 24 site National Campground. Fri Sat Sun, rangers, shuttle guests to the top of the park (One way only) but easy 5-ish mile hike back to campground, primarily down hill. Great hiking and biking, we rode E-bikes to the top and back 6 mi each way. Like a small Brice Canyon, beautiful! Strict generator rules but beautiful quiet place. We camped at Bonita Canyon Campground, Chiricahua Natl Mon in a 27' Motorhome. Tip for Other Campers: Understand the vehicle size rules. Up to 29' allowed to campground, only 24' allowed beyond campground. 2 large depressions one entering the campground and one leaving. Our 27' motorhome with a bike hitch made contact with the pavement on both. Not much room for maneuvering or getting out of the way.
@EleanorMCAB2C2 · Camped on Feb 19, 2026 at Campsite #15
Camp host greeted us within minutes of arrival, and was kind and welcoming. Bathrooms and water spigots were clean and functioning. Highly recommend just for views of the stars!
@MichaelR189137 · Camped on Feb 17, 2026 at Campsite #25
Clean bathrooms, spacious sites with lots trees
@JohnK6536193 · Camped on Feb 16, 2026 at Campsite #4
The entire Chiricahua National Monument visitor experience is unbelievably well designed. Everything from the drive to the ridge and back to the short trails up at ridge turn outs to the design and cleanliness of the campground restrooms all are a demonstration of excellence.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@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!!!
