Indulge your Wild West fantasies near the Benson KOA, in a quiet, high desert valley just off I-10 (the "southern route" to L.A.).

Apache Chief Cochise held out for years amid the granite domes and sheer cliffs of the nearby Dragoon Mountains. Just south, Tombstone hosts daily re-creations of the infamous O.K. Corral shootout.

 

Tour an old copper mine near the Mexican border in Bisbee,where steep hillside streets and Victorian buildings evoke the mining boom days. Drive or hike past weirdly shaped rock formations in the Chiricahua Mountains and tour Kartchner Caverns, one of the world's greatest living caves (reserve well in advance).

Or relax by the KOA pool, perhaps after 18 holes on the nearby San Pedro Golf Course.  Potluck and burger get-togethers greet KOA guests on alternate weekends in the winter.
