Double Adobe Campground and Shotgun Sports

This is a spectacular part of the United States, in a desert setting, close to the border with Mexico and peppered with the towns, mines and ranches of the Old West. As well as the nearby old city of Bisbee (a definite must), Arizona's Old West tale can be seen at the John Slaughter or San Bernardino Ranch, a National Historic Landmark that was once the home of gunfighter John Horton Slaughter. Going further back, the region's history is also covered at the Native American displays of the Amerind Foundation museum in Dragoon, and the Coronado National Memorial, commemorating the first known expedition from Mexico to America's south-west. Active days are easily found around here too, such as hiking the spectacular rocks of the Chiricahua National Monument, or clambering around the Dragoon Mountains and their highest point Mount Glenn. From here you can also drive up to the Cochise Stronghold, 5,000 feet high in the  Coronado National Forest. Golf? Tackle traditional teeing off as well as desert golf at Douglas Golf and Social Club, one of the oldest courses in Arizona and the inaugural winner of the regional Golf Club of the Year Award in 2016.
