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.

The campground isn't very big, so the sites are close together and don't provide much privacy if you're in a tent. That can't be helped, I guess. I did enjoy the clean bathrooms and the fact that they weren't brightly illuminated from the outside, thus spoiling the Dark Sky experience. So bring your flashlights and enjoy.

Campsite #12 was a nice site since it is right near the canyon walls, and near a water spigot. Although the campground was full, it was pretty quiet, except for a few dogs barking during the day. The site and bathrooms were clean and well cared for. We have been to Bonita several times, and it has always been a good experience. There are nice hikes you don't even need to drive to that are along the creek, and up Rhyolite Canyon that connects with higher elevation hikes and rock formations . Note there is not good cell service here.
