Accessible via a roughly 2-mile approach from Highway 152 in Gila National Forest, Lower Gallinas Campground sits within Gila National Forest and is managed by the US Forest Service. Sites are reportedly long and private. As of late 2024, a barricade at Highway 152 raised questions about whether the campground was open, so confirming current access conditions before driving out is strongly recommended. Amenities include toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and trash service, with pets allowed. This campground makes most sense for self-sufficient campers who verify road and gate status in advance.
