Campground Area Boulders is a bouldering area in the Douglas Ranger District of Coronado National Forest in Arizona, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing and camping spots, with Cochise Stronghold and The Old Standard Area (aka the Bath Room Boulders) both about 0.1 mile away. The boulders here are all boulder problems, with 13 routes spread across the V0 to V10 range. The easiest is TV-14 at V0, and the hardest is North Face of Fire Pit Rock at V10. The median grade is V3-4, so climbers can find problems at a range of skill levels. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Sunsites run from highs around 78°F in April to 80°F in October, while July and August average highs in the low 90s and bring the most wet days of the year. The Sky Islands Traverse hike and the Cochise Stronghold campground are both about 0.1 mile away. The 36th Chamber of Shaolin climbing area is about 0.3 mile off, and Shaw House campground is about 0.7 mile away.
