Meadow Creek Dispersed Camping
Meadow Creek Dispersed Camping is located on varied terrain with flatlands and hills in New Mexico. Temperatures can range from highs in the 90s during summer to lows in the 20s in winter. Nearby, the Gila National Forest offers hiking trails and natural hot springs for exploration.
Description
National Forest
The majority of campgrounds on the Gila National Forest are primitive and offer dispersed camping. You may camp outside of developed campgrounds anywhere on the Forest at no charge. The Gila National Forest implemented Travel Management and we recommend you stop in to one of our six ranger stations and pick up travel management maps so that you are aware where vehicles are and are not permitted.
Potable water, toilets, and other amenities are not generally available. If you choose to camp outside developed areas, be sure to bring adequate water or be prepared to purify any water source before drinking. No permits are required to camp in wilderness areas.
The Gila National Forest has a 14-day stay limit, in any 30 day period, on all camping. Areas designated as “Day Use Only” are limited to posted hours, no overnight use.
