Visitors to this southeastern Arizona resort enjoy the arid weather at an elevation of 3,500 feet. With the resort’s twin lakes and five artesian springs, relaxation comes almost automatically.

Here in southwestern Arizona is where cowboy lore originated. This is where the Earps and the Clantons shot it out at the OK Corral, and where Geronimo and Cochise stood up to the U.S. Calvary. This area lives up to Arizona’s Old West legends, and a lot of the Old West can still be seen here. There are ghost towns to be explored and mines to tour. The West’s wildest gunfights are reenacted for the benefit of travelers and many of the old saloons are restored to respectable versions of their celebrated notoriety.

Just a few miles from the resort is Tombstone, the famous frontier town that was made a Registered Historical Landmark in 1962. Here Boothill Cemetery, Bird Cage Theatre, the Courthouse, and the Crystal Palace Saloon are all preserved for the enjoyment of both young and old. Infamous for its saloons, gambling houses, brawls, and gunfights, it’s often overlooked that this historic mining town was once the most cultivated city in the West, and in its time was a larger and more sophisticated town than San Francisco. An interesting historic site, the Cochise Stronghold just south of I-10 near Benson, is a natural fortress in the east face of the Dragoon Mountains. These towering lookouts are where Cochise sought refuge from the U.S. Calvary after a raid during the years of the Indian wars.

Known for its spectacular high desert valleys, conifer-clad mountains, beautiful canyons, and stark low desert landscapes, the area west of St. David RV Resort is home to the saguaros (cactus) in Saguaro National Monument. For golfing enthusiasts, the area abounds with golf courses and country clubs.
