A lovely, shaded campground along a flowing stream. The sites are tight, but ideal for tents or van, perhaps small trailers. We've stayed in the campground on four occasions and it has always been clean, quiet, and great for birdwatching. We love hiking in the monument, but parking is always an issue at the trailheads. I certainly don't support the effort to make this a national park to bring in more visitors. There is simply not enough space for any more cars.

This is a beautiful campground with great amenities and most of the sites are nicely shaded. The tree canopy proved a bit of an issue in the winter camping we did because it made it a challenge to charge with our solar panels. But, I imagine that the shade in the summer is needed to combat the heat. The campground offers easy access to trails and the scenic drive to the Masai Point lookout. The rock formations are other-worldly and a must-see for anyone passing through.

Excellent campground and park experience, quality staff at visitor center and campground. I did have to leave early as I had continuing internet business to attend to. There is NO CELL Service at the campground that I could find. Outstanding views and trails.

Bonita Canyon is a lovely campground. We had a clean functional bathroom and potable water right by our campsite. The sites are lovely and shady. I would stay here again without hesitation!

This national monument is stunning, peaceful, biodiverse, well maintained, well appointed, and a real pleasure to visit. The small campground is well laid out, clean and has heated bathrooms and flush toilets. The remote location and small campground keep the park uncrowded. Great place to relax and commune with nature.

Small yet very convenient campground in the park especially if you were there too go hiking and see the beautiful formations. Limited services no electrical hook ups but still worth experience. It definitely return very quiet park.

Clean campground with bathrooms and water. Picnic tables and grills on each site. Make sure you go the the top of the mountain to enjoy the sunrise, sunset and the stars. Highly recommend!

Campground feels more natural than some -- ungroomed, in a good way. Not that it was not maintained, but it didn't feel like Disneyland, it felt like we were in the forest, with neighbors. Ground fire ban meant "campfire" in the grill, which was awkward and did not lend the traditional campfire experience. Our site was well sized; there is a LOT of difference in sizing, be sure to check the info online to make sure the site you choose will accommodate how you plan to use it. Hosts Cheryl and Tim were very visible, keeping a good eye on the campground.
