“Very quiet spot, very restful.”
Reviewed Nov 08, 2018
Higher altitude spot. Visited for 5 days in early November. Cool nights this time of year, possible freezing. Quiet and restful. Pacific Crest Trail intersects the area.

We loved this place. A little busy with hikers in and out but everyone was respectful. Enjoyed the trails and wildlife.

“Keep an eye out for CDT thru-hikers in the spring.”
Reviewed May 21, 2018
We actually got to meet a whole bunch of Continental Divide Trail (CDT) thru-hikers while we stayed here since they all had to walk across the big field we were boondocked at. We even gave one hiker a ride into Silver City when we left. While a local resident was providing trail magic for the thru-hikers by one of the trailheads, w... more

“Easy access, plenty of space, and cows”
Reviewed Aug 26, 2017
This is a spacious, easy boondocking spot if you're headed to the Gila, or want to stay somewhere near Silver City. There was only one other person camped there when I stayed, and there was space for many more. It's a boondocking spot, so there are no facilities besides the stone fire ring. I did have decent cell service, which is alwa... more

Nice, quiet, clean spot. Do need to share with the free range cattle, but they don't bother you at all. Bigger spots near to road, or park your larger rig and walk a short ways in to see if you want to try further in. Looks like road used to go further, but now has quite a few wash outs but depending on your rig and your tolerance y... more

“Beautiful Evergreen Woodland with trails”
Reviewed Jan 06, 2017
Beautiful area, reasonably quiet this time of year (early January). Only a couple of ATVers, a couple of four wheelers, a group of mountain bikers, and a couple of other RVs spending a night or two during our eight nights here over the New Year's holiday. I've never seen such a variety of evergreens...loved the Evergreen Oak. Enjoyed h... more

South West of Silver City on highway 90 is a segment of the Gila National Forest. The highway crosses the Continental Divide Trail, complete with a nice area to pull off and hike a bit or camp. While there are no established camping areas, it is easy enough to spot where people regularly do camp either by the tire tracks or the fire pi... more
