This place is beautiful and quiet (April). But it is not meant for large trailers or RV's, ours was small. The whole park, which is definitely worth seeing, is pretty much inaccessible to trailered vehicles.

Very congeneal host ! Very basic...one sink and two stalls. Quiet and nicely shaded.

Great campground, well maintained, restrooms clean. Enjoyed our stay and hiking at Chiricahua. Unfortunately, cell service was very weak. We were able to do a water fill up at Farawayanch.

Our location was perfect and the campground was so peaceful and quietWe saw many stars and the ara is gorgeous.
@RichardZ485077 · Camped on Apr 15, 2026 at Campsite #4
We were hesitant to drive a distance from Rt 40 to get there, but it was worth the drive. Beautiful scenery, good hikes and the campsite was clean and as described.

very nice campground, great facilities - super friendly camp host and excellent hiking opportunities!
@RuthM6239EF8AE · Camped on Apr 9, 2026 at Campsite #15
Plan of hiking the trails and taking the drives contained in the area. Gas, food need to be taken in with you Remember only one bathroom for the total 25 sites plus the group campground. Rangers are very helpfulNever saw either of the camp hosts walking the campground to introduce themselves.

From the moment I arrived, it was clear that the campground was exceptionally well-maintained. The sites were clean, spacious, and thoughtfully laid out to provide both privacy and easy access to amenities.One of the highlights was the stunning natural setting. Waking up each morning surrounded by scenic views, fresh air, and the sounds of wildlife made the trip truly special. The campground struck a perfect balance between feeling immersed in nature while still offering convenient facilities like clean restrooms, potable water, and well-marked trails.Overall, this campground delivered an ideal outdoor experience. Its the kind of place that makes you want to return again and again.
@AlbertB7132260 · Camped on Apr 8, 2026 at Campsite #12
What a wonderful experience. We started at site #12, which backed up to the incredible rock structures that Chirecahua is famous for, so that was our backdrop during breakfast. There's a potable water faucet available for every 2 or 3 campsites so that's very convenient, and the bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Our second night we had to move to site #24 which was less idyllic but still very cool. The campground is also very conveniently located to explore the park. The drive up to the trailheads is absolutely gorgeous.All in all a great stay!

So peaceful and clean.
@GaryF7333860 · Camped on Apr 5, 2026 at Campsite #2
Very pleasant little campground. Enjoyed our 2-night stay. Unfortunately, none of the campground water faucets were working.
@ROBM7319577 · Camped on Apr 5, 2026 at Campsite #22
Nice quiet campsites. Wake up with bird chirping, not generators.
@MelissaW474369 · Camped on Apr 2, 2026 at Campsite #23
This park is so beautiful. So glad we made the effort to visit. We got lucky and got a last minute campsite, though if I had a choice, I would definitely not choose site 23 again. It is literally connected to the campsite in front of it. Our picnic table was right next to our neighbors tent. As far as I could tell, this was the only campsite like it, with others having much more privacy. Most sites are not level, so be sure to check the description. We were able to level our camper with some effort. There is a shuttle that drops you off at Massai point, leaving one time/day at 9:10am. Though with checkout being at 11am, we couldn't use it because we wouldn't have made it back in time. How about making the checkout / checkin a little later?
@TOMASP87414A45 · Camped on Apr 2, 2026 at Campsite #10
Beautiful place, location and services, fair enough. Visit center also close.
@PaulB8317136 · Camped on Apr 1, 2026 at Campsite #1
Great campground. Beautiful setting. Clean bathrooms. Other campers were respectful and it was quiet in the evenings. The camp host, Jean, is very friendly and organized. The Mexican Jays are very busy trying to steal chips and crackers, so be ready! :) I love this place!
@BillR8884541 · Camped on Mar 30, 2026 at Campsite #13
Great little campground! Definitely for the smaller RV and tent crowd. A number of good hiking trails. The campground is in a shaded forest of Oak, Pine and Juniper trees. Bring everything you'll need because the nearest services for gas, ice and anything else are 29ish miles away, nearest town, Willcox, is 38 miles.
@JF244F3561E234 · Camped on Mar 29, 2026 at Campsite #8
Many sites have small driveways. Also pay attention to the warning about scraping your rig if it's too long. There are serious dips in the road. We saw someone unable to make it and had to turn around and exit on the one way entrance road. Sites are somewhat close quarters, but when we were there it was entirely booked full, and still surprisingly quiet and peaceful. Would have liked to stay longer.
@MichaelN518707 · Camped on Mar 27, 2026 at Campsite #8
Weve been coming to this hidden gem for 50 plus years. Its one of the nicest campgrounds in the whole park system. Clean. Quiet. And Joyce the campground host was great. First stay in Site #8, for us people that sometimes struggle to get around. Five stars!
@SusanP4870118 · Camped on Mar 26, 2026 at Campsite #8
The visitor center was informative and the staff were helpful and friendly. The campground was peaceful, dark (yay), clean and wonderfully shaded. The camp host was great. Then we left roads were in good shape and the vistas were amazing.

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.

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.
