Overview
A brief introduction to Chiricahua National Monument
Chiricahua National Park preserves towering rhyolite pinnacles, balanced rocks, and mountain landscapes shaped by volcanic forces in southeastern Arizona. Visitors explore scenic drives, hiking trails, and campgrounds beneath dark night skies. Rising between the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts, the park supports diverse wildlife and protects a rich cultural history tied to Indigenous peoples, Apaches, Buffalo Soldiers, ranchers, and the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Chiricahua National Park is a national park of the United States located in the Chiricahua Mountains of southeastern Arizona. Originally established as Chiricahua National Monument on April 18, 1924, the park was created to protect the area's extensive hoodoos and balancing rocks. It was redesignated as the nation's 64th national park on October 20, 2026. The Faraway Ranch, which was owned at one time by Swedish immigrants Neil and Emma Erickson, is also preserved within the national park. Just over 85% of the park is protected as the Chiricahua Wilderness.

Camper reviews for Chiricahua National Monument
REALLY Remote but Well Worth the Drive
You have to really want to get away from it all to visit this park but the terrain is magnificent. The campground is well-kept with a cute little creek running right through it. You even drive through the shallow creek as you circle the campground. The campsites are a bit small and might be difficult to park larger rigs. Cell service is almost non-existent except on T-Mobile with a booster. Incredible scenery.
