Tucson/Tombstone in January
Thinking of going to Southern Arizona middle of January. Any thoughts on campgrounds, weather, bad/good? Thanks Larry

The weather? It depends.... :) Each year is different.
If you go I'd recommend staying in Benson for touring Tombstone and Bisbee. It's lower elevation so will be warmer. Benson can still have cold nights .. 20's and 30's, but usually warms up during the day....50 deg to 70 deg.
Also plan on taking the Kartchner Caverns tour. They also have a nice campground.
Have a good trip. Lots of folks winter in Benson so it's doable.

Tombstone is nearly 5,000' and can be very cold in winter. Definitely take the Karchner Cavern tour but book your reservations well ahead of time, with the snowbirds here for the winter it is often booked up for weeks in advance. As noted, the large State Park CG there is nice.
Other winter CG options in the area include Patagonia Lake, Roper Lake and Catalina SP's. all are very nice and low enough to be doable all winter.
