We both can’t hike but we’ve passed by the sign on the 10 freeway many times and decided to go check it out. It’s still a nice scenic drive through out the park. Lots of crazy looking rock formations…Full review by tonyk744

Yes. Bonita Campground is there and reservations are needed. If you go on the Chiricahua National Monument site there is a link to Bonita Canyon campground. Reservations are needed. There are also campgrounds outside near Willcox. Great hiking within the park and can also see wonderful vistas just driving through the park. Check the weather as well. Have a wonderful time!

Yes, there is great campground there and I spent 3 enjoyable months being a volunteer campground host there. No hook ups but a warm heated bathroom. Sites are not large and there is a 29 foot limit on RV's. Best sites if they are not reserved are 11, 6, 18, 20 and. Have fun!
Planing on coming in mid January and will be staying in Wilcox. How many days should we plan to stay? Looking at two days in Wilcox and a day trip to Tombstone and a couple of nights in Tucson. Thoughts?

I would make a point of going to Kartchner Caverns. - between Tombstone and Tucson. You pretty much need a whole day to see Chiricahua. I would choose Karchner Caverns over Chiricahua NM. I have done both.

We rented an Airbnb at a ranch close to the park entrance and Highway 186, High Desert Dreams Guest House. It's a very nice, spacious cottage, high quality. It's about a mile off the highway on a dirt ranch road to access it.
Are there ways to observe the rocks without going on the roads with treacherous drop offs?
A:
There are no scary drop offs like you find in Colorado on some of those high-elevation roads. The road is only 6 to 9 miles long, it is paved and two lanes. There are spacious parking lots …
There are no scary drop offs like you find in Colorado on some of those high-elevation roads. The road is only 6 to 9 miles long, it is paved and two lanes. There are spacious parking lots at to Lookout areas. I would encourage you to go because it's not like driving on the side of a mountain when you have switchbacks. Enjoy the Rocks they are like none you've ever seen.
