Naco, Arizona…..and Camp Naco.

The Remains of Camp Naco

We stayed at the Bisbee RV Park Campground in Naco, AZ ( https://bisbeervpark.com) while exploring Southern Arizona. The RV park was very nice, and our host, Bruce, made sure we had all the essentials. The park was very affordable and offered monthly rates… We will likely take advantage of this location again.

The town of Naco is a historical border town. During the Mexican revolution, both sides fought to control Naco, because of its economic success and location on the US border. Fort Huachuca stationed US Buffalo Soldiers in Naco, AZ to protect US citizens who went to Naco to watch the Mexican fighting. Eventually the Army build a camp to house the Soldiers permanently. Parts of Camp Naco/Fort Naco still stand in the original adobe. There are apparently efforts to restore the site (it looked as if work had recently been done on a couple of the buildings), and it is the only remaining military site of 12 the U.S. built along the border between 1910 and 1920 during the Mexican Revolution.
