Yes. Bonita Campground is there and reservations are needed. If you go on the Chiricahua National Monument site there is a link to Bonita Canyon campground. Reservations are needed. There are also campgrounds outside near Willcox. Great hiking within the park and can also see wonderful vistas just driving through the park. Check the weather as well. Have a wonderful time!

Yes, there is great campground there and I spent 3 enjoyable months being a volunteer campground host there. No hook ups but a warm heated bathroom. Sites are not large and there is a 29 foot limit on RV's. Best sites if they are not reserved are 11, 6, 18, 20 and. Have fun!
Planing on coming in mid January and will be staying in Wilcox. How many days should we plan to stay? Looking at two days in Wilcox and a day trip to Tombstone and a couple of nights in Tucson. Thoughts?
A:
I would think your length of stay in Wilcox would be correct. A day trip to Tombstone will also allow ample time to see other sights along the way.

The last part of the drive is where it got scary for me, so you could probably turn around at one of the lookout points if you're in a regular-size car and you knew you wanted to do that …
The last part of the drive is where it got scary for me, so you could probably turn around at one of the lookout points if you're in a regular-size car and you knew you wanted to do that ahead of time. If you're in a bigger rig or if you wait until the part with the dropoff starts, then I think you'd have to go all the way to the top before there's room to turn around. You could also call the visitor center to ask more specefic questions based on your circumstances. Happy travels!
