The best big rig friendly campgrounds near Bisbee, Arizona

Western heritage meets desert mountain landscapes in the old mining town of Bisbee. Tucked away in Southern Arizona—right across the border from Mexico—it's a haven for year-round camping. Driving a big rig? Get stoked about the trove of RV parks with full hookups around Bisbee (not to mention nearby Tombstone, McNeal, and Naco). If tent camping is more your style, drive past Sierra Vista to the Coronado National Forest. Cacti, rocky canyons, and rugged mountains lie just beyond your campfire. For s'more fun, hike or mountain bike the Chiricahua or Cochise Mountains. When the Arizona sun is beating down, cool off underground at Kartchner Caverns State Park. Explore a massive limestone cave--home the longest stalactite formation on the planet. Want to see the famous cave bats flying overhead? Spend the night at one of the RV sites, tent sites, or camper cabins. Bisbee's semi-arid climate makes for excellent camping weather in every season. But for bright and sunny days, avoid late summer and early fall—the height of monsoon season. The severe desert thunderstorms can put a damper on any camping trip.

Weekend Trip to RV sites, mountain view!

RV Ranch is located in a beautiful spot of Cochise County. Gorgeous view of Cochise Stronghold and surrounding ranges. It’s a working ranch so you’ll hear animal noises which added to the peace of the place for me. Full hookup, very level site made it a breeze to get settled quickly. I was so fortunate to witness the great crane migration during my stay. Thousands of them made their way to their winter home right overhead. Truly amazing. Highly recommend RV Ranch to anyone visiting this stunning area of AZ.

Great stay at the ranch. Appreciated how close it was to sonoita for some tastings and also close to some pretty epic riding on the side by side. Thanks for being such a great host Kim. Hope to see you all again someday.

3 nights at The Desert Oasis Campground

There was a large building with 2 pool tables, ping pong, TVs, washers, dryers, bar with seating area, sinks, etc. I enjoyed sitting on the patio listening/watching the birds. Highly recommend staying here if you are in the area.

Monsoon season, it was a beautiful cool night, great sleeping weather.

The Lazy Horse Ranch is easy to get to off of the main road. I had a great night at Lazy Horse Ranch. It was quite and comfortably. The hook ups were in working order. I even got some much needed rain. I checked out the horses, the library, there was a place to make coffee, do laundry. They had information about trails in the area. Maybe I will bring my horses out for a horsey vacation in the future. Thanks for the nice stay.

Weekend Trip to Rancho del Nido RV Horse Camp

Great central location to visit the Wineries, Las Cienegas/Empire Ranch, Patagonia, Kentucky Camp etc., along with dirt roads to bike/walk. Having hook ups for my little RV was great. The owners are great - responsive and the ranch is really nice. I took a quick weekend trip down from Tucson and I did not have the hassle of hoping a FF site was available at Parker Lake or Las Cienega's.

Beautiful views and quiet, restful evening. We enjoyed a last minute stay in our roof-top tent. The other folks staying were all RVs and super friendly if we met in passing. Easy trash and water (and hookup) at each site. Portable toilet was clean. We would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

We really enjoyed staying here on the horse farm. We felt very at home and were told that we were free to walk the whole ranch. The horses were so nice and friendly, the site was perfect and the sunset was unbelievable! We would definitely stop back at the spot again.

Like this site. The scenery is awesome and host Mike is great! Mike is full of knowledge of surrounding area and clued me in on some great spots. Parker Lake and the Coronado National Memorial are two of my favorites. Lot of extras including TV with great reception. Had trouble with my vehicle which required a few days in shop and Mike even provided a vehicle for me to use while it was down.

Good pull through spot with lots of birds and farm animals around. The proprietors were kind. Note that you access the property by turning west at 31.9273, -109.7541. We missed the turn the first loop around since we didn't see any other rigs (it was empty). There are some tight cattle guards at the turns off of Kansas Settlement Rd.

We had the most wonderful time scalping at Ranchi Del Nido. We woke up to beautiful sunrises, fell asleep to a wide open sky of stars, and enjoyed the freedom of space to bike/roam during the day. Our boys enjoyed a ride on their horse Whiskey and we enjoyed a day trip to Patagonia to see the hummingbirds and lake. We can’t wait to return! Thank you for being wonderful hosts!

We were fortunate to have Lazy House Ranch all to ourselves during our trailer camping stay, and it couldn’t have been more relaxing. From the moment we arrived, the hosts made us feel completely welcome and at home, which set the tone for an incredible experience. The property is absolutely stunning, with wide-open spaces and breathtaking scenery that made every moment feel magical. Whether it was sipping coffee with panoramic views or enjoying the peace and quiet under the stars, this place is the definition of tranquility. Though we didn’t utilize any facilities, the setup was perfect for trailer camping. It offered the space and serenity we were looking for, with nature as our ultimate amenity. If you’re looking for a trailer camping spot that’s equal parts peaceful and picturesque, Lazy House Ranch is a must. We’re already looking forward to returning!
