Benson, Arizona Campgrounds and RV Parks

Benson, Arizona

This is an important center to travellers because of its location near Kartchner Caverns State Park, and the presence of a large number of campgrounds and RV parks. It is also a beautiful small city in a lovely setting. The weather is generally hot and dry.

Kartchner State Park is definitely worth a stop and you could devote several days to its exploration since it offers recreational diversions for different tastes. You can wander the trails throughout the park which fan out from the lovely campgrounds, as well as the developed area with its picnic tables near the parking lot.

A cactus garden with an associated humming bird garden is a big draw and can be enjoyed at different times of day. The birds are accustomed to the public and are easy to spot, although not as easy to photograph! You can sit and enjoy a meal from the café while you listen to and watch the birds.

Cave tours are offered to different sections of the cave labyrinth, depending on where the bats are staying. An important value at Kartchner is maintaining a pristine atmosphere in the caves and not disturbing the natural beauty that was first discovered there.

An extensive array of attractive wares are on display at the store in the visitor center. Also there is a gallery and museum detailing the founding and creation of the cavern displays.
