I loved car camping on smugglers roost! They had a really nice bathroom and showers and gave clear instructions on arriving! The hosts were very communicative!

This spot is beautiful & quiet. It's close to Chiricahua National Monument & Cochise Stronghold. If your rig is bigger than a camper van, site #1 will be easiest for you to get into.

It just depends on what your needs are. There's are community of people here and it's good for that. We found it far too windy and ended up leaving to head to picture rocks instead.

We loved our camping experience under the stars! My niece had a wonderful time using her telescope. The directions were easy to follow and the location is very quiet.

We loved staying here. Great location close to Chiricahua Mountains. My only feedback would be that the site access is small for maneuvering big rigs. Site 1 is the bigger and easiest to park a large rig like ours (40’ bus conversions) followed by site 2, however I used half os site one to get backed into site 2. Sites 3 & 4 are further off the road and would have been quite difficult for us to navigate to due to the width of the access road.

Damon was a kind and caring camp host. His setup is rustic so don't expect a glamping experience but for those looking for an interesting place to camp away from the world it's well worth it. There are several different small hand built buildings on the property, one of which has a shared kitchen and bathroom, it's rough but is good enough for cooking and showers. The property also has several trees and shrubs planted by Damon and paths that one can take walks on. Oh, and there's also goats to check out! I also need to mention that Damon is a uniquely talented musical soul so if you're into playing or composing he might give you a mini tour of of his musical creations - they're very interesting- and show you his setup where he works on his music and offer to play some music together - my husband was surprised to find a musical mind to connect with in the middle of nowhere. He's also very knowledgeable of the surrounding area and was more than happy to share his tips with my husband and I on the best spots to visit and scenic drives to take. Damon made our camp stay very interesting.

This place was very convenient for visiting Chiricahua. It was quiet and the stars were beautiful in the dark sky.
