Today we camp at Chiricahua National Monument - in the southeast portion of Arizona. At Bonita Canyon Campground, we tour the facility, explore the Visitor Center, and show you what it is like camping in this remote but stunning area of Arizona. Bonita Canyon Campground is located within Chiricahua National Monument. The campground offers 25 sites as well as one group site. Due to the remoteness of the campgrounds, ground fires are not permitted, however, standing grills are included on every site for cooking purposes. The open season at Bonita Canyon Campground runs from early October to early July, closing for summer months during monsoon season when flooding is potential. There are some tricky areas to navigate within the campgrounds and as such RVs, motorhomes, and trailers are limited to a length of 29 feet. The campground has no nearby general store and the nearest town of Willcox, AZ is approximately 37 miles away so it is best to be prepared and bring supplies on your way in. Bonita Canyon Campground is located in bear and mountain lion country. Food, utensils, cooking appliances, pet items, coolers, and scented items must be stored when not in use. If campers arrive in a closed hard-sided vehicle, that may be used to store items or campers should use the National Park Service storage containers which are provided at every site.
