Never expected to get a site over the weekend especially with Tombstone celebrating their Wild West Days weekend, probably the biggest party of the year. Thought what the heck, asking is free and called the Tombstone RV Park and amazingly enough they had a 40' pull through that was open for a week. We drove up on Thursday morning and returned early this afternoon.
This was our first visit and the park was great which many of our neighbors attributed to the change in ownership about 18 months ago. Nicest bunch of folks you could ever want to meet. The park is gravel and since I was towing our 862# Indian motorcycle that was about as close to a complaint as I could get {gravel and heavy motorcycles often do not play well together}.
Very nice amenities, full hookups set us back $36 a night with the GS 10 percent discount. They keep the pool heated to 85 year round but it was too cold out for us old folks to enjoy. If you want a campfire not only will they sell you wood at a good price they will deliver it to your site. I had wood but was expecting a fire ring and none were to be seen. They use old washing machine drums for firepits and they work great! They delivered the drum to our site {no charge} and we had a roaring fire all three nights. Even when it gets windy and it often does, you can still have a fire as the sparks and embers are contained by the drum.
Here is our fire from last night:
Another nice feature is their free shuttle into town about a mile or so up the road. We tipped our driver a couple of bucks coming and going and the convenience was awesome. Tombstone was in full reenactment mode with dozens of costumed cowboys and their ladies and lots of silliness and world class people watching.
Got in a couple of great motorcycle rides, the first down to Bisbee which is an incredible old mining town just 27 miles up the road. Spent a couple of hours touring the town including the mining museum which is a must see. Rode out to Willcox the next day and tried a visit to Apple Annies, another must see but they were closed for the season but we will be back.
It was a great trip and we look forward to returning soon, it is only 96 miles from our driveway and the ride takes you through some very scenic /spectacular country and this time of year snow covered mountains can be seen in almost every direction.
