Such a wonderful place to camp!!! We love that this campground has remained a dry camping place and has not been modernized. There are so few places now that remain as a true camping site.

I thoroughly enjoyed my day and a half in mid-January at the Chiricahua National Monument. I hiked trails at higher elevations during the first day, then set up in lovely site #2 right by the creek in Bonita Creek campground. Well designed and sited fencing preserves vegetation and reduces impact on the ground. I enjoyed the food storage containers and the graded tent platform. The rangers were wonderfully informative about local animals and plants. I spent a lovely evening and then hiked the lower Rhyolite Canyon trails in the morning. I will definitely return, perhaps even before this winter is over.

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.

Site 20 allowed for a 29 foot RV, but it’s impossible to back in a 29 foot RV when following the one way roads correctly . This was due to the site across the road being occupied and a tree on the corner of site 20. We had to go past, and then come in against traffic to back our RV in.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
