Very quiet, extremely clean bathroom, very friendly host. All in a beautiful area. I liked that it is so small.

I drove a 4Runner and arrived at 9:00 PM in late Jan. Having read that cell service was not available in the campground, I downloaded the Apple map for Bowie region (I-10 to Bonita Campground, via 186) ahead of time. Between the map & road signs, it was easy to arrive. It was dry during my visit, but there are several dips on 186 that might get flooded; take precautions during rain.

Despite the limited amenities, the campground was very cozy and in great shape with plenty of potable water pumps. The bathrooms are very clean and were heated to 55 degrees F, which felt very nice when it was 40s & 30s at night. Of course, as “residents,” we’re all responsible for the cleanliness and respect for quiet hours.

You can hike from the campground to the Visitors Center (VC), which is a trailhead to the Chiricahua Big Loop and other trails. Depending on your campsite, you’ll be an estimated 0.8-1 miles through the Silver Spur Meadow Trail, which includes 2 small creek crossings. You can also walk along the road, but there aren’t pedestrian-specific walkways. Recommend checking with the VC for the latest weather/trail conditions before starting your hike.

I look forward to returning to explore more trails in the park and surrounding region (e.g. Ft Bowie, Wilcox wines, etc)!

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.

First time back since the Bathrooms were finished; they are nice and clean. Tested out our Starlink mini and had successful connectivity. Beautiful campground as always.

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.
