The park is easy to maneuver the rig around the turns, even if the toad is still attached. We were concerned about the freeway noise but it was never an issue. The park is so clean and inviting. We will definitely return! Be sure to visit Tirrito Farm Vineyards. They have a great charcuterie board and lunch. If you are up to driving about 45 minutes further visit the sandhill cranes at Whitewater Draw in early morning or late afternoon to see hundreds of the cranes as they feed at the wetlands.

I was a little surprised they didn't do anything to make up for it but honestly the rest of the stay there was really nice. The are strict on shutting down the pool and hot tub at 8 pm sharp! The restaurant while a bit high especially on drinks was so good! The things in the KOA store were a little higher than Walmart but most are. The internet was around 75Mb/30Mb and extremely stable even at the back side of the park. On our stay the next time on the way back the young girl got us a little better spot closer to the laundry and showers for our trouble the first time with the water. I would highly recommend this spot if you need a KOA for an RV.

And while this place is a national monument, one thing our government could do instead of all the other nonsense going on is to upgrade this place to a national park. We stopped in here after spending time at Kartchner Caverns and today the scenic drive beyond the campground was closed because of the rain and snow that came down steadily last night. And because of this and due to the amount of time we had, we did a shorter walk along the Silver Spur Meadow. This trail is very easy, well shaded and what a beautiful place to view birds! I think may have seen 15 or more species in just the short walk we did here today. I was also here about 2 years ago and did the Echo Canyon Trail to the Grotto and that was such a lovely easy hike with all sorts of cool rock formations and I enjoyed climbing around. Id like to come back and do a more strenuous hike and when I get a chance, will come back and do the Heart of the Rocks trail! Visitor center is very cool with a really nice gift shop, museum, bathrooms and very informative rangers. Parking lot can be a bit tight but more parking available down the road. I was able to get a fun stuffed sandhill crane! I could spend a lot more time here and just love this place! Great place to get a dose of nature and love how the air feels at close to 5500 feet!

I hike the Cochise Trail ever few years. There's a lot to see here: rock formations, vistas,…read morebirds, insects and rattlesnakes, and is a challenging hike of ten miles. I usually start this from the west side, driving through Tombstone and taking Middlemarch road north of town for nine miles before turning north on a forest road. This road is a dirt road that gets very rutted the last two miles as it follows a dry wash. This wash fills into a creek during active monsoon season, so a high-clearance vehicle is necessary. Unlike the east side, parking and dry camping on the west side is free. The trail climbs immediately for 1.75 miles before hitting the western Stronghold and from here it's a gradual descent to the eastern trailhead and campground. The only source of water is at Halfmoon tank, a cattle pond about halfway up or down the trail, depending on which direction you start this hike. Lots of butterflies were in the area in September. During active monsoon season, the creek will run and the waterfall on the western side is a sight to behold. My hiking party rests here near the restrooms before returning the way we came. There was no water in the campground last month when I last did this hike. Dogs are allowed The only negative thing about this hike is its remoteness and accessibility. From Sierra Vista it's a two-hour drive each way. Add another five miles for the hike and it's a day-long adventure.

Well we came yesterday to get out of town and visit the dragoon hills…read more This campground is officially closed to all but hikers. They say mountain bikes are permitted but we are riders and I think the trails are too narrow. And slots where you can t pedal. I say hike. So no parking, bathrooms or camping or potable water. But you can park outside the gates. A few did, like us. Since we are new to the site, we only went to the water tank. Lots of shade along the way. Caves. Huge Rock formations. Hawks circling above hunting. Butterflies, BlueJays. Lots to see. I m going to go back while the weather is still cool. It is normally Officially Closed July to September due to extreme temps. Great to use your imagination about where the Apache's would have hidden in wait to protect the Stronghold.

It was clean, the club house has extensive exercise equipments, a pool and a hot tub. Showers and bathroom facilities were very clean.

Luckily, the men's bathroom was cracked open (probably mal function) and our family was able to use the facility including swimming that night. I'd recommend this RV park.

I think it's important for me to make a longer post about this, even considering 5/5 stars. To be…read morehonest, this is a very wonderful place! We've been here almost every years since finding it. The service is great, attentive and helpful and available. We enjoy the people working, it's been the same every time. And! Here's more. This is a long standing, not 5 star hotel but a little town 'back country' style spa. Each room is very unique with several options available- campsites, car camping, singular shed / storage container rooms, mini cabins, yurt like structure and others. Every single one is themed something different. The one we stay in this time was sunset beach themed with tropical sunset colors, bamboo on the ceiling, palm tree decor, water like vibes. Both the rooms we've stayed in have a small fridge, microwave, TV- dvd/vcr, lights, bed w/ sheet, trash, paper towel, tables, mirrors, WiFi, hooks and lock n key. The rooms are well kept however, just to be honest and note that it's not particularly bothered us, there are spiders all around and other bugs at time. There are common areas for use that include the following: Kitchen- utensils, dishes, cookware, small electronics, stove top (gas), some seasonings, coffee set up, sink and soap, washing items, cutting board, fridge/freezer, water, microwave, etc. *please note that this is a 'what's left' or 'what's been gotten' space meaning while there's almost always something for anything, at times there aren't. Ex: last time there was no coffee bean grinder and this time there was. We still typically bring our own things but somethings can stay. Depends on your preference I would say. Kitchen is kept clean mostly by guest so can vary. Head sup that the sink water on hot gets very hot! Make sure you clean up after yourself, gentle with the plumbing. Lounge Room- it has tables, chairs and a living room like space with a TV that has VCR and DVD options. Two walls in the space are riddled with dvds and vhs videos. It's such a wonderful thing about this space honestly. The lounge space is not for sleeping in or staying in, heads up. You'll see the signs. Outside areas- there are several outside lounge areas for use of whomever is staying. One right outside of the kitchen door, one in the center of the round about driveway, one in between the areas, and one in pool amongst the pool- clothing required in that one and in all common areas. NOTE: if you have allergies to cats, this place has free roaming cats on property that walk around d and go inside the common lounge/kitchen spaces (not the spa) Individual spaces vary from pull-up car and car, camping, camping outside, mini sheds and cabins, and larger spaces as well. Each room is equipped with a bed, light, refrigerator that's small, trash, shelving, hooks for hanging, locked door, TV with VHS and DVD player, water, broom, mini heater, and small air conditioner. There is a theme to each room and as a gentle reminder, although the rooms are well kept, you can still find things like cobwebs and spiders. If the place is busy, it can be a little bit difficult to find parking that's suitable, but there still is plenty on the inside and on the outside as well. When it comes to those hot springs, there are five private rooms. Two of them have larger tubs that are grapefruit groups, and the other three are much smaller for one to four people Atmos. There is a common pool that can be used by anyone that is seated on the outside and not private, no unit is allowed in this. All of the private spas have doors that close and lock, and they can be rented out during certain times of the day by people who request this. Please note that using the hot tubs if you are staying overnight between 6:30 PM and 8:30 PM is difficult as those are usually saved for reservations. As our house recommended, and as we did, this is a great time to go for a walk or enjoy some dinner. As in any space, be respectful of your fellow hot spring goers with noise, smells and uses of area. No smoking anywhere or alcohol allowed. Not far from Mount Graham with tons of stunning exploring views and trails and more. Nearest town is just around the corner , 5-10 min drive with small town foods Love this place! Hope you enjoy if you go

My favorite thing is that you can stay overnight in these little cabins for pretty cheap and have access to the hot springs all night long! I've learned booking by email is easiest although you can call. There's massage available to book onsite too but it fills up fast! There are group and solo tubs available as well as one totally outdoor tub . Tent camping is also an option but no RV's or hookups . The overnight area is complete with bathrooms (real ones ) and a kitchen/ common room space for lounging/ cooking /chilling . Each cabin has a tv so make sure to grab a VHS for watching. Plenty of parking and just over all great vibes! Absolutely worth the trip for the healing waters!

First rule of the cave.. no pictures lol. Hence, no pictures are attached. They say it's because of…read moreaccidents reported from people not paying attention. Also, basically nothing is allowed in the cave. They had lockers that takes quarters but as far as I saw, no machine, you have to exchange with cash soooo prepare ahead. Leaving things in the car felt some what okay but not my favorite. I would appreciate if they had more security. They say they are not government funded so everything comes from public support. This was such a cool experience. You can tell the amount of work and detail they've put into the cave and preserving it. Truly different than other caves I've been to. There are two different parts of the cave you can choose from. If you can't do both my preference was the big room tour. I felt there was more to it, more things to see. Also, (sorry parents) perhaps the age limit made it more enjoyable too. Our tour guide Charles was INCREDIBLE. We did both tours back to back 0945 big room tour and 12 rotunda. Timing was perfect. Enough time to use the restroom and eat a snack. We brought our snacks, their cafe was closed. It would be an enjoyable experience to eat a packed lunch outside not sure if it's 100% allowed. Beginning of April was a GORGEOUS day. There's a McDonald about 12 min away. The big room tour is a man made/marked out, well paved easy walk/route. If you're worried about endurance or handiaccesible, it seems very accessible. The rotunda seemed a bit more incline but still well paved. You can wear white shoes and you wouldn't get dirty lol. I don't recommend open toes shoes/sandals because the Floor is very moist/wet. BOOK AHEAD. At least 2 weeks ahead to get the slots you want. If you're by yourself then a lot easier. It sells out quickly Restrooms were very clean and plentiful. As you wait for your tour guide before taking the tram to the cave there are another set of restrooms so that's appreciated. They want you to get there 30 min before. There really wasn't anything much to do ahead, it's just a simple check in. They have a mini museum that's nice to look around. You can get some good pictures outside prior or after the tour. Are both caves a must see, my bf says yes. I'm in between. If I would go back I would choose the big room tour again but that also has limited time opening due to the bats. As an AZ local or visiting this is a very enjoyable spot

As much as I love going underground and at this point have about 15 caves explored in AZ under my…read morebelt, I only finally made it to this one this weekend. Our caving group was having our winter conference here and it was really nice to use the visitor center's auditorium for our all day presentations. I learned about the invertebrates that live in caves, herpetology, bats and lots of other really fun topics about caves! Auditorium was very comfortable and all the IT worked great and the projector and acoustics were perfect. Seats also very comfortable. Later that day, some of us signed up for the headlamp tour of the Big Room that started at 5:30pm, which is only offered on Saturdays in the fall/winter. I was able to use my own headlamp and helmet. This tour is $50 and the price is higher than their regular tours, which is $30 for adults and all the lights in the cavern are on. The tour was good and I'm glad the proceeds of my ticket go to support this park. Phones aren't allowed into the cavern, so I took no pics. We also stayed in one of the 4 cabins on the campgrounds and it was fabulous. Cabin was super cozy and can sleep 6, one bed and two bunk beds. Cabins also come with a dining table, microwave and small fridge. Bathrooms right across from the cabin. Porch on the front and also a picnic table available. Fire pit also available. I had firewood but we could not make a fire because of rain. This was definitely glamping! And it was lovely. I would definitely do this again. Saw some fun turkeys too! A few things to note here, there is a Bat Cave Cafe on site open 11am - 2pm, however, it was difficult to get anything here as there was only one person working and a lot of us here. I brought my lunch from home. Night headlamp tour was fun but for $50, not sure how it differs from the day tours. But, do know that AZ state taxes don't go to supoort this park, so your tour ticket supports this park, so I can be OK with that. Its pretty amazing that two college students crawled their way thru a 10-12 inch sinkhole and then found this place! I am still in awe of this amazing discovery! And this is well before all the fancy equipment was available like lidar to help with uncovering new caves. And, once these guys, Tufts and Tenen found this cavern in 1974, they kept it a secret for awhile to protect against vandalism and damage. And in 1999, the cavern was open to the public. As someone who deeply loves caves, seeing this place was like one of the best sojourns for me! Im so glad I came to see this show cave! And please, let's all do our part to make sure caves are conserved so we can all enjoy them for a long time to come.
