First time back since the Bathrooms were finished; they are nice and clean. Tested out our Starlink mini and had successful connectivity. Beautiful campground as always.

Typical Federal property. Overstaffed, ridiculous conditions. Just return this land to its rightful owners, the Apaches .

Beautiful campground! We were too long to go down the windy road. Next time we will bring our e-bikes! It was a quiet lovely time staying at the park!

Wonderful national monument and Bonita Campground is a great place to camp. I always look forward to staying there at least once a year.

One of the nicest, cleanest campgrounds we've stayed in. It is nestled so perfectly in the surroundings. New bathrooms are great.

The recreation.gov system needs a serious overhaul. I had nothing but problems with my reservation at this campground from the get-go. The online system for this campground DOES NOT work. If you need to reschedule you need to call and wait an hour on hold for an agent. I lost a huge amount of money on this campground due to multiple weather-related reschedules over the last year. Then, when I was finally about to be able to make it there, my vehicle broke down a little more than 24 hours prior to check-in, but I was unable to reach anyone to delay my arrival or reschedule (there was no cell service while I waited to get back on the road). I requested a refund, or at least a partial one, as I've paid over $65 into this particular reservation with the reschedules and a rate hike that occurred at the beginning of this year. I noticed that EVERY time they still filled my reservation, so no money was lost on their end (this campground is BUSY AF all year round). So, rec.gov or the campground, or whoever all these fees got to got PLENTY of money from me, and I wasn't even offered a partial refund nor a shred of sympathy for my car troubles. This place is maybe just bad luck/bad vibes or something. Between the constant issues even trying to get there and the lack of care/greed of the people handling reservations, I'm ready to just give up and won't ever try to camp here any more. There are plenty of other cool places with rocks and trees and better management. Go ahead and keep robbing people, rec.gov and Bonita campground management... KARMA will get you in the end, you greedy people!!

We really enjoyed the campground and our site. The tent pad for the site was in a nice setting and was in good condition. We appreciated the short hike along the trail from the campground to the visitor center, especially as the bathrooms were under construction and many of the water spigots were off.

The host was very nice. I believe his name was Wayne. Initially, I was disappointed that my campsite was near his generators and this massive humming electrical box thing, some sort of permanent electricity installation making a lot of noise. It kind of spoiled the nature feeling. But he showed me how to reserve a new campsite online that was higher up the hill, tucked away from all the noise. Other than that, the experience was great. Bathrooms, campsite, all was good.

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!

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.

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.

This is a must see National Monument. The campground is small and has some spaces that are not very level for vehicles but it is very pretty, feels secluded, and is well maintained.
