Nice BLM campground with fire rings, some with metal grill. Private and secluded in winter but probably not in high season. Some dispersed and more secluded sites exist a few miles further up the road in turnouts but it was raining and cold so we opted for this one lower down the canyon.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Nice shady campground. We enjoyed our stay. There are no other on the ground. Perfect 👍🏿
Report Check-InFree Gila Forest CG. Dispersed sites, most on the stream facing a high rock wall. I am sure it will be shady in summer, there are tall cottonwood trees throughout. Quiet and rustic, no electric, trash bins, or dump stations in the entire Forest around the Dwellings. NO trash receptacles. Take it out, please.
There are rings here, no tables, and 2 vault toilets. Most people here seem to camp near the entrance but if you drive further back on the road, there are many more spots. The water sounds lovely and the rocks glow as the sun sets. It has been pretty empty in the cgs the last 4 days with high gas prices but I am sure summer will bring crowds of people.
Report Check-InGreat free camping along stream. About 15-20 sites. Pit toilets, fire rings, no garbage so pack it out.
Lots to see and do in this area. Very quiet in Feb. we only had one other camper while we were here.
I arrived at 4pm on Saturday and was surprised to find that I was the only one there. I drove back awhile, but eventually ended up at a campsite on the river near the entrance, across from the toilets. The sites seem fairly private. You're at the bottom of the canyon so there's minimal sun exposure. The toilets aren't bad, they definitely smell once inside, but not terrible and plenty of tp.
One other van arrived at dusk and went further back. Felt like I had the whole place to myself & the only sound all night was the river!
Nice spot. River sites were taken but available sites along the bluff. Quiet and the price was hard to beat.
Report Check-InDefinitely OPEN now! We have a lovely, large, level, secluded, stream side campsite. Bare bones amenities include a pit toilet and not much else. But it is quiet, free, and close to the cliff dwellings and trails.
Report Check-InGorgeous campground with a spot right next to the river. This is a free campground and it has a pit toilet as well as a fire pit. The spots are large and the place is beautiful, it’s not too far from some hiking trails and the cliff dwellings
Report Check-InAs described but currently day use only, campground closed presumably due to Covid.
Report Check-InForest Service Campground in Gila National Forest directly at the Gila River. Quiet and peaceful. Free of charge.
Report Check-InLovely spot with several river sites.
Not many there when we were there.
Clean toilets. Good for a few days . Some people fishing.
