Desert Oasis Campground
Overview
Desert Oasis Campground offers a tranquil retreat in the high desert of Cochise County, Arizona. It serves as a peaceful home base for those exploring the unique landscapes and rich history of the southeastern corner of the state. The park is characterized by its expansive desert views and a quiet, unhurried atmosphere that contrasts sharply with the busy, crowded environment of urban RV resorts. Here, the focus is on nature and simplicity.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in the small community of McNeal, the park is nestled within the scenic Sulphur Springs Valley. Travelers will enjoy the incredibly clear night skies, which are perfect for stargazing without significant light pollution. The park is framed by the distant peaks of the Swisshelm Mountains, providing a dramatic backdrop for morning coffee or evening walks through the local desert vegetation. This location offers a true sense of southwestern solitude.
Amenities & Park Features
The facility focuses on providing the essential comforts required for both short-term visits and extended stays. The park offers several key features for guests:
- Full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp service to power your rig.
- On-site laundry facilities for guest convenience during long trips.
- Clean restrooms and shower facilities maintained for comfort.
- Spacious sites designed to accommodate larger RVs and provide privacy.
These amenities ensure travelers have the basics covered while enjoying the rural landscape and the slow pace of desert life.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Nature enthusiasts are just a short drive from the Whitewater Draw Wildlife Area, a premier destination for viewing thousands of wintering sandhill cranes. History buffs will appreciate the proximity to the legendary streets of Tombstone and the historic copper mining town of Bisbee. For those seeking outdoor adventure, the Wonderland of Rocks at Chiricahua National Monument is an easy day trip away, offering world-class hiking and unique geology.
Who This Park Is Best For
This location is an ideal choice for birdwatchers and nature photographers who want to be close to Arizona's premier wildlife habitats. It specifically appeals to independent RVers who prioritize a quiet, rustic setting and value their privacy over organized social activities. If you are looking for a place to unplug, avoid the crowds, and enjoy the natural beauty of the high desert, this park fits your travel style.

Quiet escape with staff who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was awesome! Clean facilities clean campsites! Clubhouse has pool ping pong darts! Close to Bisbee and Douglas. I can't say enough about the staff we had some camping equipment fail and they did everything they could to help us out. We will be back to stay again and we are bringing friends and family!!

Wonderful park-with nice well groomed and level sites. Bathrooms, shower, club house and grounds very clean and well kept. All of the pictures on the website are accurate. Extremely friendly staff.

I had a fantastic experience at Desert Oasis. And way beyond a short camping stay, I was there for 3 years to work a nearby job in public health. My confidence in the park managers could not have been higher, and I had the greatest neighbors I've ever had. 5 stars all day, and hope to be back someday! Prepare to be wowed by the insanely beautiful panoramic skyline. :)

This campground was a really great place to stay, the clubhouse is amazing, sanitarys are clean, the people there were really nice and we had interesting talks with the owners in the evening. And fair price!

We were passing through and stopped in to tent camp for a night. We saw the little cabins and decided at the last minute, a bed would be nice for the night. The cabin hadn't been turned, but they went above and beyond and got it ready very quickly. The showers and bathroom were very clean. The walking trail around the perimeter of the property was nice for a late evening stroll. The porch of the clubhouse has ample seating and is a nice shady spot on a hot day. We will definitely put Desert Oasis Campground on the list of desirable places we would stay at with our trailer. Thanks again for the cabin!

I went there by myself in August 2024 and forgot to write my review as promised. I am also a Veteran and the owner was great. I was only there three days but it was good. I stayed in the glamping camp and it was clean. I was also very happy the bathroom and shower was also very clean. Hiked the area once spent most of the time in Bisbee.

We found this hidden gem while looking for a place to stay in our class A & toad. It's literally 10 minutes from Bisbee & smack in the middle of Tombstone Arizona! We really enjoy the location, although you feel like it's in the middle of nowhere IT IS NOT! right down the street is a cool restaurant & bar called the thirsty lizard so cool. Not far from that is a Safeway & family general & dollar general. This is a perfect place to stay so quiet SO SAFE, SO CLEAN & while we're here on Friday nights a get together everyone can meet over snacks gotta bring your own drinks ot really is a hidden gem. We will be back with our family to enjoy the park & all that is around it

This is a very special campground. If you are in the Bisbee area and need a spot, this is your place. Just a few miles from town. Very quiet. Beautiful views. The hosts are warm, friendly, and helpful. The clubhouse is a fantastic hang out space. Nice restrooms and shower. Very clean. The water tastes good as well. We will be back for sure!

The location is near historic old west towns of Tombstone and Bisbee and many great birding sites and the fall leaves in Ramsey Canyon. There is even a nature trail on site and the scaled quail were fun to watch. James was the camp host. He was great and took care of the camp and campers needs in a timely manner and always with a smile. We weren’t there while they were holding any events in the rec hall but it was a great space with lots of activities available. We found it far enough from the roads to be be very quiet. We chose a pull through site and it was easy in and out. And, the sunsets were amazing. We will be back.

Very nice, clean RV Park. Restrooms and showers are clean. The community Center has a pool table, darts, checkers, chess, ping pong. There's a small library with computer access. They work on the honor system with ice and water. Lots are a nice nice, back ins and pull throughs. Rates are reasonable. There are walking trails to take pets. Highly recommend!
