Bighorn Campground

5 spots. Accommodated our 40 ft and trailer. We would have fit in 2 spots. Some road noise as it is just off the hwy but the hey was not very busy. Has one car come through a few times during the day several times. Not sure what they were up to but they did not bother us. Had one other camper each night. Enjoyed walking the dry creek beds.
No ATT service but had Verizon wifi.

We stayed one night, then moved into town and stayed at Los Olmos. It was a protected spot, and close to town, we walked in a few times. Even with a toilet nearby, the grounds had a smell that showed not everyone used the toilet. We felt safe and a few other campers stopped and stayed on the other side of the parking lot. I would stay here again, with no worries. We really liked Glenwood, a nice stay.

The campground is as simple as can be but also as lovely as can be.

Several big sites with table\bench combo (a little outdated) as well as a bbq grill and a fire pit invite you to pull in and enjoy a quiet good night sleep.

Due to fire risk stage 2 fire of any kind is forbidden right now. So please plan accordingly and bring salad or noodles instead of bbq:-)

The campground has a mountain in its back and is protected by trees and a little hill to the nearby street. Yes, you can hear the cars and smell their breaks when they pass but that only happened approx. 5 times while we stayed here.

The dry toilet wasn't in perfect clean condition so we choose our own over the campground toilet. A deer said good morning and the beautiful Catwalk Trail is super close by so that we started the day with a little hike along with a refreshing bath in the ice cold canyon.

We can completely recommend staying here.

We were traveling in a 31 ft Class C Motorhome.

We stayed here in order to visit the Catwalk Recreation Area (more about that later). This is a very small USFS campground situated between a small creek and the highway. There are only 5 sites. They're free, first come-first serve, and basically your typical rustic forest service campsites. Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. There was a clean vault toilet. Although the campground is right along the highway it was quiet at night when we were there in March as there was little nighttime traffic. We shared the campground with just one other rig.

The main reason to camp here is to visit the Catwalk. Wikipedia describes it as follows: "In 1889 silver and gold was discovered in the Mogollon Mountains above Whitewater Canyon, just east of Glenwood. Several mines were developed, and ore was hauled in wagons to a mill at the mouth of the canyon. The town of Graham was founded in the mountains, and water was needed to operate the electric generators. It came from a pipeline reaching up into the canyon, and was held onto the rock walls of the canyon with timbers and iron bars that were in constant need of maintenance. Workmen dubbed it the Catwalk, and today it is operated as part of the Glenwood Ranger District of the Gila National Forest. Today it is the site of the one-mile Catwalk National Recreation Trail, a universal access walking trail which follows the route of the old pipeline, clinging dramatically to the side of Whitewater Canyon often a dozen feet or more above Whitewater Creek." The Catwalk is well worth a visit, but be aware that at certain times of the year you will have to ford a river at least twice to get to the Catwalk. When we were there in March, we made it OK in our 4WD truck, but crossing in a low clearance car would not have been advisable.
