Tombstone Town tips - right here to help you navigate this "Town Too Tough to Die!" It's not difficult! But it will make your trip to town a lot better if you have an idea of where in Tombstone you want to go.

We want to help you have a good time. Town locals love to entertain you by dressing in old West period clothing. The town of Tombstone itself still has that Old West look and feel. In fact many historical buildings are still here. Ask locals in town to point some out - they'll be glad to answer your questions!

But, First of All -
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 town for parking: large visitor parking lots.

Looking East on Allen Street

The largest parking area is by the corner of Allen Street & 6th Street. All 4 corners have parking. There are 2 large parking lots & 2 smaller parking lots available. There's also an area there for big RVs down the hill.

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

The Tombstone Courthouse has it's own parking lot alongside and directly across the street on 3rd Street. However, it's not strictly marked as 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 - I've seen a parking charge posted for that at times.

Here's a map that notes Tombstone parking areas via the blue markers. Click on each to see more details:

Allen Street is the "Main Drag" where most of the action is! But check out other areas too - there's a lot more in Tombstone!

Tombstone Car-park, Sixth Street & Allen Street.

Car Parking at 6th & Allen Streets

Remember that Allen Street is closed to motorized vehicles, between 3rd St. & 6th St. But you can access the side streets - the numbered streets with your car. Parallel parking is allowed on these streets in most areas - but watch for the parking signs.
