This was a true cool spot in a desert heatwave. The elevation and the trees at most sites kept temperatures at a livable 90 degrees in the day and a restful 70 at night. The canyon rock formations were stunning, and can rival any western park — difference— not as crowded. Wildlife spotted on the ground— a wild turkey and one rabbit.

The campground was very beautiful. We enjoyed most of our stay there. However, there was a very rude campground host who, instead of coming to us in our camp to tell us to turn a lantern off, yelled at us from the roadway. She was not very nice and we were unnerved by her yelling. We turned off the lantern and when another guest and I walked down to the restrooms after this incident there were 4 other campsites with lanterns on. She never went to them and told them to turn their lanterns off.
The next night, a group of campers drove in very late and set up camp by one of the campsites we had reserved and were staying in (We reserved and used 3 campsites) who stayed up most of the night talking loudly and smoking marijuana. At no time did any of the camp hosts visit that site and tell those campers to be quiet.

I would like to see better communication skills on the part of the camp hosts/campground attendants. Also, if there are several campsites where rules are being broken, then they all should be addressed and not just one site.

Second time in campsite 1 - great experience and we like being at the end even though the sites aren’t that close to each other. Plenty of nice spots throughout and we love the dog-friendly hike from the campground to Bonita. Bathrooms always really clean. Entire campground, visitor center and park has a great vibe. Love the jeep road over the cave creek too!

I always enjoy my stays at Bonita Campground. The campsites are limited to 24 ft and there is no electric or sewer hook-ups, but there is water in some locations, but not at each camp site. Each camp site has a level area for tents and a picnic table. There is no cell service in the lower part of the park, but there is wifi at the visitor center, which is about a half mile from the campground.
