Quick Night by the Gila

The road in turns to dirt for a brief minute, then back to paved. It winds and there are some tight turns. You turn off the pavement to dirt the last 1/4 mile. Wouldn’t take anything over 35’ 5th wheel. $5/night is not bad to have vault toilets, water spigot, picnic tables, river close. Biking trails, horse trails, hike trails, OHV trails all close. There are corrals at the “Host” site. There is a boat ramp 2 miles before the campground. There is one farther up also. Not sure about at the campground. No Verizon signal here.

Checked out campsite

Went and checked out campsite. Was certainly hot. Little bit of walk to river but not bad. Was post monsoon weather. River was flowing fast and looked like chocolate. A lot of side roads for 4x4, quads etc. The Bonita creek drive is gorgeous and provides creek water you can get in. Was a beautiful escape and very green post rain.

During peak seasons or holidays, arriving early is recommended to secure a spot.

What are the access roads like to Riverview Campground?

Access to Riverview Campground involves a mix of paved and dirt roads with some challenging sections. The road briefly turns to dirt before returning to pavement, with winding sections and tight turns along the way. The final quarter-mile is a dirt road leading to the campground. Due to these conditions, vehicles with trailers might find navigation tricky as some sections are essentially single-lane. Large rigs over 35 feet, particularly fifth wheels, are not recommended due to the tight turns and narrow passages. Four-wheel drive vehicles will have better access to the surrounding area's side roads.
