Campers appreciate the spacious and well-organized sites, although some note the dusty conditions, especially on windy days. The views of the surrounding mountains and night skies are often highlighted as a standout feature.

Site 2 - Chiricahua starry camp
The camping area is well organized with several large pull through sites. I have a 23 foot trailer but the site I used could fit something much larger. I was the only camper there so it was very private, but the sites are well spaced so even if others had been there it would not feel crowded. The surrounding land is mostly vegetated and you can only barely see houses or other structures (teepees it appears) in the distance. The 1/3 mile dirt road to reach the site from the highway is a bit bumpy and the site was a bit dusty (I camped on an exceptionally windy day!). Best part is the nearness to the Chiricahua National Monument. It was just a short drive for my dog and I to visit the NM. We also drove up Turkey Creek Road to see the wildlife (turkeys, deer, horses, and cattle) - no hiking trails there unfortunately, so had to view the wildlife from my truck. Overall, a nice camp site and pleasant trip for my dog and I.

Good centralized location to serve as a home base for exploring the area. Lovely views and close to pavement on a well maintained dirt road.

We enjoyed our stay. The proximity to the national monument was great. Winds were blowing during our stay so we couldn’t sit outside, but overall it was enjoyable.

This was a great nearby spot for visiting Chiricahua National Monument with a larger trailer that won't fit in their campground. It's also a great spot for dark skies. The only negative is that it is a very dusty spot.

An awesome desert site down a short "primitive" road a quarter mile from pavement. Wildlife, peaceful, horses, a resident hawk, perfect sunrises over the Chiricahua Mountains and beautiful sunsets behind the Huachuca Mountains.
Wonderful hosts, easy in and out. I have a 60 foot rig and it went in pretty well.
Saw a couple of big cats, quite a few deer, coyote scat, so they're around too. (Keep your small pets on lead.) Definitely would return.
Just an aside, it's just up the road from Johnny Ringo's grave site. What fun!
Nice location . Kinda small to maneuver a trailer around in . Spots are kinda close together. Was quiet and a nice stay

Very quiet , ultra clear night sky, beautiful mountains nearby, level site
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.

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.

totally perfect for outrageous star gazing! nothing provided but a sandy rocky parking space. wish there was a restroom of some sort provided.
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.

GPS location right on the spot! The campground is easy enough to figure out where to camp. It's really nice that this campsite is pretty close to Chiricahau National Monument. There are also plenty of stars to see here on cloudless moonless nights.

This was a perfect place to stay while we went to Chirichahua. Easy access to the road. Level site. Great star gazing. Would definitely come back again.
Beautiful spot in the desert with distant mountains on 3 sides. Convenient to Cochise Stronghold & Chiricahua National Monument. Extremely quiet. Just 0.4 mi off pavement on well-graded dirt road. Only nearby services are gas & a convenience store 10 mi west. If your rig is over 25’, try site #1. Thank you for sharing your beautiful corner of AZ!

The campsite was very quiet so I could hear the coyotes, and it was very dark to see the night skies. It was close to Chiricahua National Monument which was our destination. The location was very easy to find.
I really liked car camping at Crystal’s place. The place was clean and nice. With great views. Quiet. Really good!

Chiricahua starry camp
Good experience. Booked last minute because other plans fell through. The site was easily accessible off 181 and each site is numbered. No ammenities, but without other campers there it was very private.
