Best RV Parks & Resorts near Gila, NM

Several RV parks near Gila provide full hookup options for motorhomes and travel trailers. Rose Valley RV Ranch in Silver City features spacious sites with privacy barriers between spaces, offering 50-amp electrical connections, sewer, and water hookups for $34 per night with discount options available. "Sites are long and spacious, level, gravel, wide with shrubbery and some fencing between, adding lots of privacy," noted one visitor who appreciated the excellent WiFi coverage. Silver City RV Park provides convenient in-town access with full hookups, though sites are more compact and better suited for smaller rigs. Continental Divide Park & Camp, located just outside the Gila National Forest, accommodates RVs with water and electrical connections, making it a strategic base for forest exploration.

Navigating to certain parks requires attention to road conditions, especially for larger motorhomes heading toward the more remote locations near the Gila wilderness. Most RV parks in the region remain open year-round, though facilities like Gila Hot Springs Campground offer limited hookups compared to the more developed options in Silver City. Cell service varies significantly, with stronger connections at parks closer to town and more limited coverage near the Continental Divide. Dump stations are available at Rose Valley RV Ranch, Silver City RV Park, and Manzanos RV Park, while some travelers noted tight navigation for larger rigs at certain facilities. Many parks welcome pets, though specific rules vary by location.

    Manzanos RV Park

    Great option in Silver City

    Man, free pulled pork BBQ every Sat. evening garnered this place the 5th star!  :) 

    Stayed 4/23- 4/30. Nice RV park just outside of Silver City with large spaces and junipers between the spaces. We were in #16 which was huge. Full hookups, laundry. Only one bath with a shower. Naturalized pet relief area with some desert vegetation. Dirt road to the place from Kirkland. No playground so saw no kids staying there. Seemed like mature, respectful RVers. Some folks were extended stay, seemed like any long term residents were in a different area; overall nice, neat, quiet, and tidy. John keeps things in good order.

    BTW, in Silver City for Tour of the Gila, cool to see the stage races.

    Food aside: Heated up some frozen Bertolli pasta dinner and then: nothing on Sat. night because, free BBQ!!  Donations appreciated.

    Iron Creek Campground

    One of my favorites in the Gila Forest

    About 10 sites, most of them shaded with picnic tables and fire rings. Has garbage collection, and a vault toilet. Usually peaceful and quiet. Nice hiking trails throughout. No cell signal. Most spots are fairly flat with slight adjustment.

    City of Rocks State Park Campground

    Non Electric - Each Site Unique

    City of Rocks, NMSP: NON- ELECTRIC Sites: Sites Nestled into Uniqueness. One of the best campgrounds , in regards to campsite layout, we have stayed in during 4 1/2 years of full timing - (Electric sites are not so. They do have views, but are crowded together.) (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good

    (71 yr olds in 17’ trailer.)

    Overall Rating: 5 for the non-electric sites. The are nestled into semi private/private locations. I did not see a non-electric site that I would not enjoy. Even the worst of these sites would be among the best at many campgrounds. Sites in the back loop where we stayed were among the best. Price 2024 : $10 for non-electric sites Security: I think the gates are locked at night. Not sure.
    Usage during visit: Electric sites were full . Primitive sites had some availability. Site Privacy: Good to great Site Spacing: Many sites are very well spaced.
    Site surface: Gravel Reservations: Yes Campground Noise: Quiet Outside Road Noise: Too isolated for this to be an issue.
    Through Traffic in campground: None Electric Hookup: Availability Sewer Hookup: No Dump Station: No Potable Water Available: Yes Generators: Allowed Bathroom: Pit toilets are throughout the campground. Showers: No Pull Throughs: Yes, there are some.
    Cell Service (AT&T): 0 - 2 bars depending on location Setting: Primitive sites are set among the rocks. Electric hook up sites are close together, but have a view of the rocks and desert. They are not as nicely laid out.

    Manzanos RV Park

    Nice landscaping

    Nice landscaping touches such as rock walls, trees, cactus, and lights. Picnic tables in good shape. Some sites are very private. Owner appears to like to cook as he holds weekly barbecues! We did not get to participate but feel this is a really nice touch.

    Our site was a pull through but was too tight with other sites to actually pull our 33 ft trailer and truck through. We had to back out. Park navigation a bit tight for big rigs. Not impossible just a bit of a nail brighter. We would next time pick our site once we got there and had a look around as there are others that would have worked well.

    Ridge Park RV

    Roomy sites, quiet, near Gila NF, CD trailhead and Silver City

    This is an awesome park. The RV sites all have full hookups and are extra long and wide. Because the rv sites are situated around the perimeter of the very large greenspace and dog park, all sites have expansive views in all directions. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets! There are tent sites in the central green area with picnic table, firepit and shade trees. There is a great hiking trail, about 1/2 mile, that makes a loop. It is comfortably wide so you and your dog can see the trail and won't accidentally run into cactus. The park is a straight-shot easy 15 minute drive into Silver City and is convenient to Gila NF trails, several Continental Divide trailheads, the Catwalk and lots of other natural areas. Rosie and Bill, the owners are a wealth of info about the local sites and trails. The campground has a bathhouse, laundry, gym, communal library with books, games and puzzles.

    Rose Valley RV Ranch

    Very spacious and great WiFi

    What a great find. This RV Park is still taking reservations during the coronavirus pandemic. We called and got a site for three nights. Sites are long and spacious, level, gravel, wide with shrubbery and some fencing between, adding lots of privacy. Both easy back in and pull through sites. Several large clean showers/bathrooms, laundry and library but no amenities like a pool or hot tub. Did i mention the Excellent cell, and even better fast WiFi, which was very good with multiple access points to connect to through out the park. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Great prices ($34) and we used AARP to get additional discount($16), they also accept Good Sam. Cabins available. We were very happy and recommend it.
