Tombstone Arizona

Depends if you want right in Tombstone or not. You might try Tombstone Territories RV Resort in Huachuca City about 10 miles from Tombstone. Take lots of cash because it's a tourist trap. Only thing left that's free is the walk through Boot Hill. There's a cover charge for EVERYTHING, and I do mean everything. They even want charge to visit the gift shop in the courthouse. Sad, really...but, it is a beautiful setting and the surrounding area is worth the visit. Be sure to visit Bisbee.

BTW..TT RV Resort is a passport america park. Mention you saw their ad on the internet and you'll get a substantial discount.....Dennis

Tombstone Territories RV Resort

Seems like a lot of places are scalping everyone now - used to be at least the air was free. Tourist area were selling T-shirts and hats, then buying fell off, so prices went up to cover low volumne, the prices went up because the tourist came back. Then the $25 t-shirt lasted a few weeks ... so, the tourists stopped buying.

When vendors historic town has nothing of quality to offer, people stop buying. SO, they decide air, dirt, roof over you, door fee, and there they have it. When someone charges me for air, or a fee to come in a browse in order to buy something, it's time to hit the road. We wanted to buy T-shirts in Sedona, and couldn't find a single vendor with any kind of quality T ... it seems like they all buy from the same 'sewing club' and sell the same shirts for different prices ... weird. We didn't buy, and split ...

Don't know what your plans/itinerary entail but I'd stay in Benson (Butterfield RV and Observatory is the only RV park in the U.S. with a free observatory, and lecture/lesson). Make Tombstone/Karchner/Huachua day trips.

Can't remember the name of the place, but we stayed right in town. Old tombstone was a half block walk from there.

I'll second this suggestion!

Loved Tombstone Territories RV park and highly recommend it. Made short day trips to museum at Ft. Huachuca, Ramsey Canyon, Tombstone, Kartchner Caverns, and the San Pecos river.

Butterfield in Benson for that area. I guess people want to go to Tombstone but so many other things in the area far better way to spend your time and save money.

Did you know the Gunfight at the OK Corral was not really at the corral? At a lot down the street.

Stayed at Wells Fargo RV Park clean and neat space tight have pull thrus and full hookups. Loved the convenience of being just a couple of blocks from everything. Would stay there again.

It's been a few years since we been in Tombstone.


Stampede RV Park

It's a short walk to the main part of Tombstone, also drive out to Ghost Town Road, it will take you by several old town ruins and to Cochise Hide Out.

Last January we stayed at Tombstone Territories as we felt it was more central for where/what we wanted to visit. Bisbee and Tombstone to the East, Ft. Huachuca, Katchner Caverns, Sierra Vista to the West so Tombstone Territories worked good for a base to visit various places with so much history.

Tombstone Territories RV Resort was exceptional and a good choice for us.

The views, as you can see in some of the photos, are awesome. We were in a pull-thru site with nothing behind us but breathtaking views of the awe-inspiring mountain vistas and desert landscape. Actually there are mountain views in all directions. At 4,000' feet the temps have were in the mid to upper 70's during the day and 30's at night. With no city lights around the night sky was lit up with stars and a half moon when we were there.

Many activities right there on the grounds including indoor swimming (with aerobics if you want), a craft day and much more. Friday nights they had a jam session in the clubhouse which has a great turnout and was fun. Saturday mornings went to breakfast at the clubhouse where they had pancakes and waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, excellent bacon, biscuits and gravy, toast, coffee, fruit and assorted juices.
