Dispersed camping along forest roads provides the foundation for this US Forest Service site in the Gila National Forest. Campers drive in to find undeveloped spots scattered through the area, with no designated sites or amenities like restrooms or water hookups. The forest setting keeps temperatures cooler than lower elevations, though summer afternoons still reach the 80s.
Meadow Creek Dispersed Camping sits just 0.3 miles east for similar boondocking conditions. Cell service remains spotty throughout this section of the forest, so campers should plan accordingly for communication needs during their stay.
