This state park protects one of Arizona’s most spectacular cave systems, with 63 developed campsites spread across rolling desert hills. The campground offers full hookups, clean facilities, and evening ranger programs. Sites are spacious with desert landscaping, fire rings, and decent separation. Gets busy during cooler months and cave tour seasons.
Located just off Highway 90 between Benson and Sierra Vista, making it perfect AZBDR resupply stop. Cave tours require advance reservations and sell out months ahead. Park store has basic supplies and ice. Excellent cell service and a solid base camp for exploring the Dragoon Mountains or Tombstone.
