Camp among granite rock formations and ponderosa pine at this pretty county park, some 15 miles south of town.

Seven Mile Lodge
This simple, friendly motel doesn't take reservations, but you can show up as early as 9am to see if there are any vacancies; rooms are usually filled by early afternoon in the summer.

You know the drill: no-frills rooms, scratchy towels, cheap rates. This lakeside location is well-managed and close to London Bridge.
Hampton Inn
The decor is Native American, and there's an outdoor pool perfect for chilling out in after a day on the dusty roads. For weekends in summer book well in advance. Kids under 18 stay free and pets are OK.
Jonquil Motel
The inviting Jonquil is as retro in its styling as anywhere else in Bisbee. In this case, however, the decor is artily done-up roadside motel, not frilly Victorian B&B.
