Nice and quiet. A little colder that we had expected, so come prepared :-)

Lovely, well-maintained small-ish campground. Wonderful volunteer camp hosts. Trails accessible from the campground without driving to another trailhead - bonus to my mind. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

What a beautiful park, and very interesting . The campground was very nice, although, I was really only there to sleep, out hiking, and exploring all day. The Rest rooms were very clean, with flush toilets, no showers. All the campsites had a picnic table, and fire pit, water spigots were near by. I thoughroly enjoyed the visitor center, the employees were very friendly, and knowledgeable, you could tell that they loved the park, and their job.

Camp host Steve was super helpful and friendly. Ranger hiker shuttle was great way to explore the area!

Campground rest rooms have flush toilets and are clean. No showers. The Chiricahua Natural Bridge Trail is a blast! I'd stay there again.

Great campsite and beautiful park.

Camp site #5 was level, shady, close to water, and an easy walk to the bathroom. Echo Canyon trail was amazingly beautiful.

Clean, well-shaded and quiet location. With about 20 sites and significant distance between sites, it was remarkably quiet. The noisiest experience was the flocks of wild turkeys that came into the camp (once at 5:00 a.m.) but it was a fun kind of wake up alarm. This sets the bar high for every other park campground...

The campground was so well organized and clean! The bathrooms were exactly what we needed. Everyone adhered to quiet hours and most people were up at the same time, ready to see more of Chiricahua National Monument. I can see why the campground was booked up so far in advance. I'm glad I got to tent there!

Pluses: Pretty area, clean, small numbers of sites, quiet, close to some trails.

The campground is very clean and quiet. Would be nice to have a small fire pit, but we can live without it. The staff was amazing, very friendly and helpful - especially Jennifer, who gave us a ride to the top of the trailhead to fetch my car keys (long story, which doesn't make me look smart :)

Absolutely lovely space. I wasn't originally going to stay, but the area made me want to stick around for a night.
@RickVEAE2ABE7C · Camped on Jan 16, 2024 at Campsite #5
Very clean and welcoming place to park an RV. Spacious sites with fire rings and food storage.
@CHRISTOPH55817 · Camped on Nov 30, 2023 at Campsite #5
Great place and the only place to stay inside the park.

No attempt is made to regulate the behavior of certain campers. In my short stay there were three events where the Park administration failed. 1. On the site next to me campers brought 2 RVs onto the site. The camp hostExplained that it was not allowed but then allowed them to squat on an adjacent site with another camper. Rewarding them for breaking the rules. 2. RVs larger than the maximum length were allowed. 3. When a domestic dispute, with lids shouting broke out, no camp host or law enforcement was there. Only the next day. Too late to prevent concern for safety that night before. 4. A man who was obviously too ill to even set up his camping gear was helped to get it set up. Sure enough the next morning the campers had to deal with an ambulance coming in to assist him. I couldnt use the bathroom facilities until they left.

Peaceful location. Great hiking. Informative staff.
@Alexander99768 · Camped on Apr 4, 2023 at Campsite #5
Great campground! Clean flushing bathrooms, and we’re heated which was nice in the cold mornings of the high desert. Campground was an easy walk to and from the visitor center which has wifi and easy access to most of the trails in the park. Two nights was not enough and hope to return.
@DavidH117 · Camped on Jan 20, 2022 at Campsite #5
Bathrooms very clean and host was helpful
@SarahB606 · Camped on Nov 23, 2021 at Campsite #5
Beautiful location and Camp Hosts & Rangers alike were so kind and helpful! The campsite was really nice right next to the (dry) creek. Tent pad was great and held stakes firmly (especially nice as it was windy/rainy when I was there). Water spigot right across the site and a (heated) bathroom building a short walk away. There are nice trees around but there is no shade structure. Next time I'll likely bring a canopy (forgot it on this trip) to cover the table from rain or the tend from sun if it's hot. Overall it was really really pretty though and I can't wait to come back!
