Disappointed that the pool was closed, but no notice on the website, and we were not allowed to cancel for a refund, once there.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are committed to providing each and every guest with a positive experience and are proud of our track record in offering high-quality service. However, it does seem that we failed to meet your expectations. We apologize for this issue and hope you’ll reach out to us once our pool is finished.

Nothing fancy but simple, clean, pleasant, and cozy. You really are you're in the middle of the desert but we felt perfectly safe. The pool is being repaired oh well next time :). Keep an out for the cool humongous jack rabbits and javelinas.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

What an amazing Find...this location was perfectly situated to visit Kartchner Caverns, Mnt Lemon & Tombstone. We rolled in with our Bus & Toad after hours & friendly staff was there to direct us to the most amazing pull through site w/ mature shade trees & close hookups. We were there for 5 days visiting all of the nearby sites and WiFi worked perfectly the whole time. We Would stay again!

Nice and quiet. Think the only down fall was no pool to help with the heat.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are grateful and appreciate the time you took to leave your review. We are very close to completing the new pool. We look forward to keeping up the great work! Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

They are cheap they have had a pool for months and won't put water in it they have sewer system issues cannot keep the water on then want to raise the rent to 650 a month but have no amenities to offer people very dissatisfied

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank-you for your feedback. We are consistently upgrading the park, in addition to the pool. We do our best when anything goes down to have it back up as quickly as possible. The rate increase is for monthly guests and is based on fair market value during our busy season. Pool is set to open soon!
Aug 25, 2024
The park is in a fantastic location, with beautiful vegetation and occasional visits from wildlife, making it a very pleasant and clean environment. However, I find the rates increase for the stay to be a bit high.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank-you for your feedback. We agree, this is a nice location. For the past few years we have undergone many costly upgrades to create a more enjoyable environment for our guests. The rate increase applies to monthly guests during our busy season and is based on the fair market value for our area.

It was a great campsite. They are currently re doing the park with several new upgrades at this time. The pool is currently closed. The bathrooms where amazing with, all upgraded features. (Huge showers). We will be going back when the park is completed. The Tricksters Jerry Tracie and Razzberry.

its being remolded, construction going on in the front half. WE stayed in the back, no pull throughs so had to back in. One of their employees helped back us in. Friendly and a good place to stop.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank-you for understanding about the construction. We hope to have the front of our park with all the pull-thrus open in a few days. In the meantime the back-in sites in the back of the park offers more shade. Enjoy the rest of your travels and please come visit us again when you are near!

Although it is in the process of upgrading, it is still a very nice facility. We stayed because of its location to Tombstone; however, we found the spots were level and wide, and the couple were absolutely precious! BONUS!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us! We are working hard to compete our upgrades and do our best to keep our sites level and wide for convenient access. We love our campground and want you to love it too! Please come visit us again! Happy trails and safe travels!

Nice clean campground with work in progress. Quiet. Loved the location and the desert wildlife.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank-you for the nice review! We do our best to keep our campground clean. We are in a quiet location; yet still convenient to access I10 and local services. We are enjoying the jack rabbits, bunnies, quail, and vermillion flycatcher to name some of our wildlife. We welcome you to visit us again!

Nice campground overall and super friendly and helpful staff. Easy access from freeway other than bumpy, dusty dirt entrance road. Improvements underway are very nice. Great bathrooms and laundry room. You can tell the owners care about their camping guests.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank-you for taking the time to offer a review of your recent stay with us. We really do care about our guests and do our very best to accommodate you with exceptional customer service and clean facilities while we are upgrading our park. Roads are on our list of upcoming projects. Safe travels!

Except for the pool in making, everything was well kept and as expected. Staff was friendly and helpful. A bit more shade would be a plus, not sure how to get that in the desert, but it would make the campground stand out.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank-you for your feedback. Pool is almost complete just need to add the deck and fence. Hope to have this in the next month. We offer sites with more shade in the back of the park these are our back-in sites. When making a reservation request shade and back-in site and we will do our best. :)

We had a great weekend with our dogs. The park and bathroom were very clean. The managers and staff were very friendly and engaging. There were activities planned including a craft, water balloon toss, Corn Hole, ice cream social, and BBQ hamburgers/hot dogs. Camp K9 was a good place to exercise my dogs. Renovations are being made to the pool and cabins. We're excited for our next getaway.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are very happy you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you for joining all our festivities during the Holiday weekend. We are making the park perfect for your next arrival. See you soon!

We had a late check in. A call from campground with specific instructions was helpful. Like the gravel on all campsites as truly helps prevent areas to get muddy. What a great idea for a rock at each campsite to help hold the hose down at the dump sites. Thanks for a quite and peaceful stay.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback about the park. The rock makes a big difference around the park. We look forward to seeing you again.

It was good I wish the upgrades would have been completed like the pool area. It will be nice when finished and we will most likely stay again in the future.

We had the most perfect site. The hosts were wonderful to work with. The KOA location was out of the city and allowed us to easily visit all the attractions.

Great stop over. Staff was super friendly. It will be great when renovating is done, and pool is open.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank-you for staying with us along your journey. We couldn't agree with you more about the pool. If all goes according to plan we should have a pool to offer in the next couple of months. Thank-you for understanding. We appreciate your business and your support!
May 01, 2024
Loved this location and our site was perfect. The hosts were great. We were within easy driving distance of all local attractions. Will definitely select this park if we stay in the area again.

WiFi and cable were excellent; friendly staff; only bad thing they want you to rent firepits??? WTH that's not good!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. We have a limited number of fire pits at the time. We are currently looking to add fire rings to each site. In the meantime, we do offer fire pit to reserve during stay in exchange for purchase of wood from camp store.

Decent camprgound. The only complaint is the dirt road leading to the entrance. We were not expecting that at all. Slow and easy and we got there perfectly fine. Great place to stay.

When you first drive in it looks like a gravel parking lot in the desert off some dirt road on the edge of town. But don't judge it too harshly just yet! That's the Journey part of this KOA for travelers on a one night stay. Once we checked in with the incredibly friendly staff (who live on site btw, to me that says a lot) we were escorted to our site via a valet on a golf cart who guided us onto the site we had reserved in the best way possible for our 32 foot camper to easily pull into position! Immediately we felt welcome and right at home. Best of all, once we were set up for a 2 day stay, we were left alone to enjoy this oasis in the desert! After the stargazing, wildlife including cute hares all over, birds of variety and burros from the private property next door, and it's close proximity to Tombstone, this KOA is AOK in my book! If you ever find yourself in southern Arizona for any reason, do yourself a favor and stop at the Benson, AZ KOA. It's worth it!

We only stayed one night in one of the cabins, but I want to come back and stay longer. The front area is pretty bare, set up to accommodate RVs efficiently, but the back area has many trees and is peaceful and lovely. The spaces are generous and shaded and include picnic tables and bbq grills. The tent spaces have nice level tent platforms, and an electric outlet so you can charge your devices (!). There is a large area at the back that can accommodate groups, and the owner told me that they can bring in a port-a-potty for groups in that area, since the walk to the bathrooms would be a bit long. The bathrooms were great! Super clean, spacious and attractive. I did wish there was a handheld shower. There's a rec room with a pool table near the office, and that's where the coffee bar is. There's a microwave in there too. Ok, on to the birds! I'm a birder and this is a great spot to see Vermillion flycatchers, a variety of warblers, doves, phainopepla, roadrunners....we were there in May and it will vary seasonally. The highlight for me was the many lesser nighthawks that are attracted to the bugs which are attracted to the lights at the front of the office. We sat out at a picnic table at the front for about an hour watching the moonrise and about 6 nighthawks that were catching bugs above us. Then I came out late to use the restroom, and there were at least 20! So cool. The owner says they get owls, too, but we didn't see one. Maybe next time! Note on the pool: the owners have been working on it for a long time but they told me it's about done. It looks like it will be very nice, with a hot tub and a poolside shower. Also, some of the older pics show a water feature (brook?) that's currently dry. Just fyi. Super great place to stay. We're thinking about returning with a group of friends and using it as a base to explore the area...it looks like there's lots to see and do, if you like nature, especially birding.

I always get my propane refilled here, they're extremely friendly and helpful. It's always quiet, clean and especially easy to get to. The staff is amazing, always helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend the campground.
