Nice big lots!
Off the beaten trail a bit but we really enjoyed our stay here. Hiking trail entrances right in the park and it’s close to the San Pedro river.
There is a laundry/mail room with a restroom and then a separate bathhouse near the front. Nice little dog park for our pooch to run around too and we used the public firepit.
Kiddos said there were horseshoes to play.

Clean and Quiet
About a mile outside of Tombstone. Very clean, large/wide sites, nice pool, dog parks, large clubhouse with TV, shuffleboard, ping pong, etc. Very helpful staff. Lots of snow birds when we were here...we stayed 2 nights.

Tombstone Territories RV Park
Beautiful views quiet and peaceful
Met some friends here. We had a fire in the fire pit and hiked around. Dog park was nice and the bath house had clean showers and facilities. WiFi was free and good. Site was clean, level and pull through.

Awesome
My brother pulled into Tombstone AZ Brite and early walked around found a flyer for this park and called. No problem Dawn said see you when you get here. Dawn and Scott were the only two staff I dealt with but they were so friendly. I loved the on site laundry, heated pool, and two dog parks. If you're ever doing Historic Tombstone check this place out it's great.

Beautiful and clean, perfect location
Upon arrival, this park is absolutely gorgeous. Check-in was swift and easy, and we were escorted to our site by a friendly staff member. Although the park is big rig friendly, we found the turn into the row very tight for our 37ft 5th wheel and long tow vehicle (about 55ft total rig length). Once in the proper row, the turn into the pull through sites is easy.
Full hookups were all working smoothly, and although we did not use any of the facilities, they all looked beautiful and clean. The dog park on the far end was absolutely spotless. The lighting around the campground at night was charming and appreciated. Our site had a tree with a picnic table under it.
We were only a few minutes drive away from all the best attractions Tombstone has to offer, but the location is quiet and away from all the commotion.

Tombstone Territories RV Park
This was a great place to spend the winter
We spent 4 months here over the winter months. Big spacious pull thru spots and very clean and well maintained. Clubhouse and pool were closed due to Covid over reaction, and the price was still the same without those amenities.
Park is out away from civilization, with a lot of hiking /biking trails. Laundry was acceptable but not exceptional. Several machines were out of order at any given time. At the end of the winter the work campers that did such a great job all left to go north and the services all but disappeared. The park almost completely emptied out by the 1st of May.
There was a nice little dog park that that actually had some nice grass that our dog definitely enjoyed.
The water pressure on the West end of the park was terrible at times but over all a great place to spend the winter.
Guide to Hereford
Dispersed camping options near Hereford, Arizona provide varied terrain from 4,200 to 5,500 feet elevation. The area experiences distinct seasonal changes with summer temperatures reaching the high 90s and winter nights frequently dropping below freezing. Wind conditions are significant, particularly at higher elevations where gusts can create challenges for tent campers.
What to do
Trail hiking: Access the Huachuca Mountains from Reef Townsite Group Area where an interpretive trail explains the mining history. "There are trails near by, one by the group area that has signs throughout explaining the landscape and the remains of the mining town. Other more interpretive trails lead out to the edge of the mountain, with a killer view and small climbing opportunities," notes Lexi S.
Desert wildlife viewing: Visit at dusk when activity increases. "You can walk lots of dessert trails," at Tombstone RV & Campground, where visitors observe native species. "Wildlife encounters require vigilance... skunks around campfires," reports one camper, while another warns "Watch out for those winds!!"
Fishing at Parker Canyon Lake: Seasonal fishing permits required, with rainbow trout stocked regularly. "The fishing was excellent — the lake is well-stocked, and it's a peaceful spot to cast a line," writes Pedro G. "We did catch 3 trouts, so it was worth it" despite walking "about 1/2 mile to get to the water."
What campers like
Mountain vistas from elevated sites: Upper Juniper Flats Road provides panoramic valley views at 5,500 feet. "Views of Bisbee, Douglas and Sierra Vista. Lots of open sites when we visited. Much cooler weather than the lower valley," reports Taz G. Dave B. adds, "The sunset was breath taking. Same for the sunrise. Feels like you're on top of the world."
Uncrowded winter camping: November through February offers solitude at most locations. "We were just there midweek in the middle of July and it was almost empty. The days were warm but the lake is great! Fun to paddleboard on. Nights were cool with a little monsoon rain," shares Michael K. about Lakeview Campground.
Access to historic sites: Several campgrounds provide convenient bases for exploring regional attractions. "Easy reach for Sierra Vista, Bisbee and Coronado National Monument," notes Andrew M. The Queen Mine RV Park visitor Christina H. appreciates being "only a few minutes drive away from all the best attractions Tombstone has to offer."
What you should know
Road conditions vary significantly: Ash Canyon Road Dispersed requires careful navigation. "I when up ash canyon rd in my 32ft motorhome. There are a lot of new built homes for quite always going up. The road narrows to one lane even for smaller cars," cautions debbie.
Weather preparedness essential: The area experiences rapid weather changes. "I had a surprise snow in March of '22 that almost prevented me coming back down, so be aware of weather," warns Pappy C.
Dog friendly campgrounds near Hereford generally require leashing except in designated areas. "Very dog friendly, great clubhouse, hosts were fantastic and so willing to help. Great trails around the property to walk dogs! The only complaint…those dang goat head burs," mentions Ellyce T.
