About this campground

Bonita Canyon Campground is located in Chiricahua National Monument, known as the "Wonderland of Rocks". Visitors love Chiricahua for its stunning rock columns (hoodoos), hiking trails, and bird watching opportunities. Vehicles longer than 24 feet (RV or vehicle + trailer) are NOT permitted on the scenic drive beyond the campground. This historic campground is best suited for tents, camper vans, small RVs and trailers. Total maximum vehicle length for trailer or RV is 29 feet and only a few sites are that long. Confirm length of campsite is long enough for both your trailer and vehicle. Most sites are narrow and will not accommodate side by side parking. Some sites are difficult to back into due to sharp angles. Crossing the two creek bed dips can be difficult for longer vehicles. See campground map.
  • Utility (electricity, water, sewer) hookups are not available. No dump stations, closest is Willcox, AZ.
  • Site #8 is reserved for ADA access and has electric utility box to connect to for medical equipment use, only.

What campers say

Bonita Canyon Campground is a scenic, well‑shaded site at the base of a canyon with attractive rock formations, hoodoos and easy hiking from a nearby visitor center. Sites are relatively close but screened with trees; the campground is generally quiet and good for star viewing. Restrooms are reported clean (one heated), potable water and a couple of gray‑water dump stations are available, but there are no full RV hookups — sites suit smaller RVs and camper vans with some size limits. Expect spotty cell service and a fairly remote location, so bring supplies; wildlife is common and food storage is provided.
