Goldfield Ghost Town Dry Camping

4 ReviewsAdd Review

Hard-packed dirt sites spread across open desert terrain at this privately managed campground adjacent to the historic Goldfield Ghost Town attraction. Campers can walk directly from their sites into the reconstructed Old West town, which operates train rides, mine tours, and dining venues during the day.

The campground divides into two distinct areas: electric and water hookup sites that back up to the town's small railroad tracks, and more spacious dry camping sites positioned farther from the tourist activity. Sites include fire pits, and most feature picnic tables on level ground suitable for RVs and tent camping. Horse corrals with water access accommodate equestrian visitors, with direct trail access from the property.

Clean restrooms and shower facilities serve the camping area, which typically sees light occupancy outside peak tourist seasons. "Very clean restrooms and showers," notes Emmi O.. Wildlife sightings include roadrunners, quail, rabbits, and occasional coyote calls at night. The campground serves as an alternative when Lost Dutchman State Park Campground reaches capacity.

At $30 for dry camping and higher rates for hookups, the location provides convenient access to Apache Trail scenic drives and serves as a staging point for four-wheel-drive excursions toward Apache Lake.

Guests commonly noted clean facilities and level sites with good spacing on dry camping areas. Many mentioned the unique walkable location to the ghost town attractions and competitive pricing as key advantages.

Fun Ghost town and Camping

We happened upon this cool campground on our way to the state park that doesn’t have check in until 2 even though when I called at 9 they had tons of sites open. The Goldmine sites are clean and level. All have fire pits and most have a picnic table. It was fun to walk right up to the town and walk around. Cowboy Dan who owns and runs the steakhouse is hilarious and his wait staff was helpful and accommodating. They have train rides and you can visit a mine. The coffee shop opens at 9 and they have a great menu for breakfast, lunch and snack time. The restrooms are clean and the camp host was very helpful. We were able to unload our side by side and we traveled up to Tortilla Flats where you can have lunch and then onto Apache Lake and campground. That road does require 4 WD but we did see a Tesla on it so I guess if you like a challenge and don’t have 4WD then anything is possible!!
Great spot and cheaper than the state park for dry camping $30 here and the same price for hook ups here $50.

Goldfield Mine horse group camp

Great spots for your horse and trailer. Good size corral. More space on the pit side. Stay a week or month! Great trails out from camp. Water at corrals. Nice showers and restroom a short walk away. Plan to go back!!

Stay right at Goldfield ghost town

The have a few electric and water sites, then more dry sites. Also horse corals, its neat being able to walk right into town, well worth a stop, sites are hard dirt, but adequate, spaced a little more apart on the dry sites, the electric/water sites back up to the town small railroad tracks and are much closer together. This is a great alternative when the lost Dutchman is full. 20 dollars to dry camp, but being able to walk into town was pretty cool. Seen roadrunner, quail, and doves, rabbits. A few coyotes howled at the moon at night, which was pretty cool to, off in the distance. I'd stay here again for the convenience.
