I love this campground. And the bathroom is nicely renovated. There are little hooks, so I didn't have to place my bag on the floor. Same with the towel. I am trying to come every year, at least for one night, so I can go hiking and rest.

Beautiful place to visit but so many people this time.

Our third visit to Bonita Canyon Campground in Chiricahua National Monument was just as pleasant as prior visits. We knew ahead of time that the campground restrooms were closed for remodeling, we were impressed with the quantity and cleanliness of the temporary portables available. The campground, trails, and Visitors' Center were clean and well maintained. The few Monument staff we encountered were pleasant, knowledgeable and professional.I understand the financial cutbacks to the National Park Service as well as the overall lack of federal support this year; I continue to be impressed with how the staff manages with such financial limitations. I also understand that, as a National Monument, this beautiful area is subject to "federal administrative whims" and I am simply glad it is still a protected part of our great nation!
Good

It's a great campground with bathrooms and water sources. However though the hike to the Heart Of Rocks from the visitor center is way harder now than it was a couple of years ago.

Had a great trip and the rangers at the visitors center were very informative and gave excellent recommendations for trail heads.

This is a beautiful campground in a wonderful location. The sites have good sized tent pads that are level and well maintained. Past the campground there are great hiking trails and overlooks. Prior to the campground is the historic ranch with interpretive signs. The campground is quite a bit cooler than the surrounding area, so be prepared for a chilly night. Only negative comment is the limited bathroom facility compared to the number of people staying here. Maybe add a few port-o-lets for the busy times?

Nice little campground with easy access to hikes. Bonus is the heated bathrooms in the wintertime. There is an area for dumping grey water too.

This is a lovely area and I thought the campground was excellent. There is a nice trail just off the campground as well. The visitor center is excellent. The people there were very helpful in providing information and the store they have is very nice. They have Wifi which is important since there may not be much in the way of cell service. Note, the area is pretty isolated, so bring your own food with you and supplies. Be sure your gas tank has enough gas to get there and back out again. The scenery and pull outs are great. Well kept up.

This is a lovely campground and it felt like everyone camping was very polite.--no raucous parties or late-night noise, even on a holiday weekend. The space was designed well and the bathrooms with regular flush toilets were welcome! Wildlife walks through the campground and the bird watching is top tier. That said, late May/early June was already too late in the year. It was 90 degrees in the shade at the height of the day and there's no open water like a creek or lake to cool off. (There are conveniently placed water spigots and every site has a bear box). There was a load of flies, which wasn't related to trash, maybe just because of the amount of rain over the winter? Overall, I can't wait to visit again but it will be a late fall or winter camping trip.

Beautiful Bonita campground was wonderful! Campsite was spacious and bathroom was nearby. The bear box was super helpful too! We loved it!

My husband and I loved our camping spot and loved the entire area! We saw so many different kinds of wildlife over the two days we were there. Hawks, deer, turkeys, owls, and a skunk on the last day and on our way out of the park. It is such a great place to enjoy our beautiful Earth and all that she has to offer. The city is not too far away in case you forget anything from the grocery store (which we did); the drive to and back alone was where we saw all the owls at night along the road. Such a magical place.

It was ok. The parking slip was very small but other than that I dont have any complaints. I do have to admit that I enjoyed seeing a lot of wildlife. Additionally, the heated restrooms were nice considering the temperature was in the low 20s.
