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!

My hubby is "white knuckle" driver on high curvy roads. We had no issues driving to the top in a pick up truck. If you are really bothered by hieghts, the rocks are still worth the drive in to the park at the lower elevations. If the problem is a trailer you may wish to leave it in the visitor center or camp ground. But you can ask more at the visitor center.
