How About Parking in Tombstone?

In the town of Tombstone, overall parking is normally no problem! Especially when you know where to go to find it. On many of the streets you can parallel park. Plus there are 2 major sections of Tombstone's town for parking: large visitor parking lots.

The largest parking area is by the corner of Allen Street & 6th Street. All four corners have parking. There are two large parking lots & two smaller parking lots available. There is also an area there for big RVs down the hill.

On very busy days, though - which can happen throughout the winter months - sometimes you will have to search a bit to find parking. Roam Tombstone town streets. So it's helpful to know other spots that visitors may not generally be aware of. That is why we've got this helpful Tombstone Parking map for you. It shows you available specific parking areas around Tombstone town.

Also good to know is the parking area for the Tombstone Courthouse Historical State Park. It has it's own parking lot alongside and directly across the street, on 3rd Street. However, it's not strictly marked as if you must be inside the Courthouse to park there. As a last resort, there is a parking lot at the South end of 3rd Street - there's a self-pay parking charge posted for that.
