Arizona has over 275 ghost towns and many more camps and other smaller historical locations. Arizona's ghost towns are concentrated in the Northwest central and Southeast portions of the state. The most famous of the Arizona ghost towns are the semi-ghost tourist locations like Jerome and Tombstone.
Arizona also has many very desolate ghost town sites where there is little left. Unfortunately, Arizona has one of the worst records in the preservation of ghost towns. Many states actively protect their ghost towns and keep vandalism to a minimum, but such is not the case Arizona. For that reason and also due to Arizona's harsh climate, the majority of Arizona's ghost towns are nothing more than a few foundations and some occasional mining equipment. But, that doesn't stop the avid ghosttowner from enjoying what is left of Arizona's ghost towns.
