Rose Canyon Campground

Coronado National Forest, Tucson

Rose Canyon Campground has one of the prettiest names in this book, and it’s well deserved. On the banks of both Rose Creek and Rose Canyon Lake, the campground is a riparian oasis, especially after heavy rain.

Cochise Stronghold Campground

Coronado National Forest, Pearce

Legends were born in the Dragoon Mountains. There, Chiricahua Apache leader Cochise hid from and battled his enemies, and there he’s buried. “I have drunk the waters of the Dragoon Mountains, and they have cooled me,” Cochise is believed to have said. “I do not want to leave here.”

After a visit to Cochise Stronghold Campground, you may not want to leave the Dragoons, either. But you’ll have to — there’s a 14-day stay limit.

Bog Springs Campground

Coronado National Forest, Tucson

Tucked away inside Madera Canyon, Bog Springs Campground is paradise found. Agaves, junipers and big boulders decorate this small oasis, and an intricate network of hiking and biking trails begins here. Deer dart in and out of the surrounding forest, and you might even spot a turkey or four crossing the road — a group of Abbey Road-inspired gobblers.
