This campground is small and best for tents. There where about 3 sites that would accommodate small rigs or trailers. I’m in a 24’ RV and because the place was completely empty I was able to make it work. You’re at about 10,000 feet here so it’s nice and chilly this time of year.

You’re at about 10,000 feet here so it’s nice and chilly this time of year. Also getting up here was easy, the road is narrow and windy but well maintained. I just took my time.

Tent camped here 2 nights with my dog. This place is one of the most scenic places I've been and the weather is nice. It does get quite cold at night. The site host was very nice. I checked the Arcadia campground first but Shannon is definitely much cooler weather and not as crowded. The paved road going up the mountain can be tortuous at times but well worth it. No water at site. If you have a Senior Pass cost is $5/night.
Not sure why this campground is listed in Willcox. No AT&T cell reception.

Shannon Campground is small (about 15 campsites) and tucked away along the upper reaches of Marijilda Creek on Mount Graham, a pleasant little brook with wild rhubarb growing on its banks winds through a setting of really tall trees and green grass. Campsites are shaded under mature Engelmann spruce and Douglas-fir.
I went up when the temperature in Tucson was + 100 at 9,000 feet the temp remained a steady 65. Shannon is the last campground off the paved road. Recommended RV legth is no larger than 22 ft. Mine is 24 ft. and I made it just fine. Arcadia campground is at around 4,000 ft. and about 20 deg. Warmer. Several campsites are above Shannon, but the road is not paved. You can drive all the way up to Riggs Lake at the top and do some fishing. Native species of trout live in the lake. There are also many hiking trails of varying difficulty. I hiked the Heliograph Trail 328A to the lookout tower, 4 miles round trip.
