In case you are in mood for some real Southern New Mexico Food and/or a place to overnight:
Las Cruces Area & Southern NM Mexican Food plus camping and attractions in the area. At least try a Green Chile Cheese Burger. Video
Taste of NM Pecans: Stahmanns or Salopek
In Las Cruces: Hacienda RV Resort and Siesta RV Park are the easiest to get to, just of I-10 exit 140. Las Cruces KOA and Sunny Acres RV Park off I-10 exit 135. KOA on the mesa over looking the Mesilla Valley, Sunny Acres in the Valley. Park Reviews Siesta RV has gravel roads & pads, Hacienda RV has paved roads, maybe concrete pads. Sunny Acres more into town, maybe cramped???
Leasburg Dam State Park is about 17 miles N of Las Cruces on I-25. With Fort Selden State Mon't near by. A young Douglas Mac Arthur called the fort home while his father was post commander in the late 1880s.
Info for Tucson, a really neat town & area: :) Clicky an old post some links may not be working anymore.
There are two units to see at Saguaro NP, one on each side of Tucson. East unit has a paved road which loop around part of the park. Small visitor center. West unit is a dirt road, seems longer maybe ? & has a larger visitor center. Near it is also the AZ Sonora Desert Museum (very good one, more zoo than museum), a must see IMHO. Also campground near by Gilbert Ray CG. Info in the above Clicky.
One could stay at the Kartchner state park by the cave & do a day trip to Tombstone, which isn't much now but a large tourist trap operation. The old courthouse is neat. Seeing where all the history happened was nice. Shouldn't take too long. Bisbee a short drive from Tombstone was neat. Nice mine tour there as well. One could do both in a long day trip from Benson area. We did once using a hotel in Benson using our car. We did Bisbee & the mine tour with a stop at Tombstone on way out, then drove to Las Cruces.
Chiricahua National Monument out from Wilcox is great, been there will go back. Has a nice campground as well. http://www.nps.gov/chir/index.htm
