“It's Open!”
Reviewed Apr 10, 2017
Both Upper and Lower Scorpion were open as of April 2017, after a major road repair necessitated by a washout.
I didn't actually stay in Lower Scorpion - it's much more uneven than it's neighbor Upper Scorpion. Both are set up for tents, not rigs, but the park staff are more than happy to accommodate campers in the lot.
For more info, read my review for Upper Scorpion.

“A parking lot”
Reviewed Jun 04, 2016
There are no actual sites, per se. Parking is in the small lot which is quite uneven. However, there are vault toilets and a series of picnic tables, fire rings and BBQ grills throughout the areas beside the parking lot. There is an "upper" and "lower" Scorpion campground. The upper is a bit bigger. Super close to the Gila Cliff Dwellings which are a must-see. Free dump station and potable water available at the nearby Visitor Centre. Steep ride into the Forest. Our brakes got a workout on the way down. No cell service of any kind.
