Excellent little campground. Please note, this is dry camping only. No hookups. Also, there is no trash, so pack in/pack out. Walking distance to all things Tombstone! Fires allowed. Pay the $10/night fee in the envelopes available at the post upon entry. It's the first left as you head down the hill. Even got to spot the northern lights while there in October. Heed my warning, coyotes are present... Excellent little campground. Please note, this is dry camping only. No hookups. Also, there is no trash, so pack in/pack out.

Even got to spot the northern lights while there in October. Heed my warning, coyotes are present and prevelant in this area. Keep pets on leashes or secured in your trailer. As per usual, leave out no food or trash. I will definitely return.

It is nice if you want to be within walking distance to the main attractions. Large sites with nice views of the mountains for only $10/night, CASH ONLY. The downsides: no trash receptacles and no toilets. So, if you have dogs, you need to find a place elsewhere to get rid of the poop bags. There was a small camper next to us that I am guessing didn't have a toilet, because twice when we looked ou... It is nice if you want to be within walking distance to the main attractions.

So, if you have dogs, you need to find a place elsewhere to get rid of the poop bags. There was a small camper next to us that I am guessing didn't have a toilet, because twice when we looked out our window, someone was peeing right there. It taught us to keep our shades down.

Nice and quiet. For $10 per vehicle. No hookups and pack it out. Walk up the hill and your in 1881 Tombstone. If you want to stay the day, there's day parking right up the hill for $5.

Was told about this place from fellow Nomads. I stayed two nights ar their RV "park". There are two parking lots, upper for day use, and lower for RV/tent/van/car camping. The entrance to the lower lot was a litte steep but manageable, woundnt want to try in a heavy rain storm. Plenty of spots, but this is a "dry" or "disperse" camp/RV lot so no power, sewage, or trash. Best part was $10 a n... Was told about this place from fellow Nomads.

There is a small box and envelopes for you to write tag number, day and date of check in and planned check out. (Honor system) and the other best part, you're only walking distance from. Allen Street and the OK Corral.
