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!

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.

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.

This is our second time to stay at Bonita CG, and the second time weve left early because of rodent activity. The first time mice got into our RV and tore into a bag of snacks. This time all our food was in airtight containers but we found fresh rat droppings in our engine compartment. To avoid rodent damage to engine wiring or hoses, we packed up and stayed overnight in Willcox. We will not stay at Bonita CG again.

The campground is lovely and well cared for with the exceptions of: Many of The water spigots needed adjustment-very low flo. the womans toilet did not flush well (blockage somewhere?) and the bathroom is very small to serve so many. The staff is helpful and keeps the facilities clean.

Nice campground, but very tight & narrow & small, something to keep in mind! Quick walk to Visitor Center with free WiFi.

My husband and I had an enjoyable time, it was somewhat peaceful, but with a loud crying baby for two of the evenings took away some of the peacefulness, along with our neighbor's dog who had no manners and barked at everyone who wandered by their site, yet babies will be babies. But all in all we enjoyed the stay and will be coming back. However there is one thing I want to mention. We camp with an SUV Tent and the tent pads are blocked with rocks...we did make it work, we were able to back our SUV up close enough even with those obnoxious barrier rocks resting outside the pad.

Rangers were quite helpful at this national monument gem!Wonderful hikes, wildlife, twilights and night skies!
@StephenW3F8997 · Camped on Feb 17, 2025 at Campsite #8
Great campground inside the Monument. Sites are small and a challenge for larger or longer vehicles. There is no dump site, tank fill, electric hookups or shower facilities so plan ahead.

Such a nice campground and limited to 25 spots. Though it could use another bathroom, the one and only was hardly full nor have a line. Nice trails and the Chiricahua National Monument are next to you. We got some rain but no biggie.....Lots of birds....Balanced Rocks and the history of the place were awesome.......Spot 8 is ADA and most spots have electric hook-up ONLY for Medical Devices....We'll be back....

Scenic campground. Well maintained with plenty of trees. Flush toilets and running water is the bathroom sinks an added bonus.

Pleasant campground in a beautiful park. This is the 2nd time I've camped here, and both times have been very enjoyable. While the sites have few amenities, they were generously spaced for each site to have relative privacy. The restrooms were clean & warm. I took advantage of the access to the nearby Bonita Creek Trail to enjoy an easy late afternoon hike down to the Faraway Ranch area and back.

Very nice campground and friendly host. The posts concerning camper size are important, as the trees and rocks determine that most campers over 25 will be challenged.
