Of the handful of formal places to camp, this is very small but very nice. Trees, a decent hike on a maintained trail. Only a few spots to take but cute if you get one.
Guide
When I called about availability we were told there were a lot of dry spots available. Works for us! When we got there the person at gate had no idea where the campgrounds were and would not let us check out sites without paying for day use. The campground had water shutoff on Memorial Day weekend. No bathrooms or showers.
Management aside, this place is gorgeous. We dry camped by lake right under mountains. Would not pay for campground with no water but for $10 to dry camp by the water, love it.
Great T-Mobile service. Easy to access.

Clean, quiet campground not far from Emory pass. Pit toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. Only a handful of people there on Friday night
Guide
We came in after dark, but the roads were clear and it was easy to set up. Quiet.

Level gravel sites. FHU worked fine; appears to be maintained. Nice staff, well stocked store. Would stay here again.
LegendNice CG for our overnight stay. Plenty of amenities. Guy in the office was very helpful. Level gravel spots, FHUs were in good order. Road noise from I-10 and trains on the Southrn Pacific - not a bother for us. We would stay here again.
Travelera place like from some safari movie, beautiful sunset, you can see a herd of cows. plenty of room for everyone and an easy route
LegendWe enjoyed how small this campsite is and we were the only people there during our visit.
I gave it 3 stars because it’s right next to the road, but also next to the water.
It has large trees and flat camping spots. It even has a vault toilet.
GuideStaff is not as friendly as other KOAS.

The staff are top notch! Young energetic and as helpful as can be. Friendly service, the facilities are very clean.
GuideGreat place to stay on the way out of town if on the way to get on CDR. Stayed in camping cabin. Can Uber to town if needed. Clean all heating worked.
TravelerVery helpful staff. The place was very clean and spacious. There are plenty of places to hike and fish. Great place to take the family to create memories.
LegendVery friendly staff and owner. I’ve steered clear of KOA before but will check them out after this visit. Very quite stay and spots were very nice.

Campground is very nice with great views. Grounds are well kept. Bathhouse is clean. Water in the showers are annoying because it auto cuts off after about 10-15 seconds and you have to keep it going for at least a minute or two to get hot water. Sites are close but separated my some bushes. The Dyrt app says there is WiFi which there isn’t and also that there are sewer hookups which they aren’t. Not a problem but just fyi.
GuideAmazing! Super kind, knowledgeable and friendly. They even brought me wood. Close to town and a ton of hiking! Super clean!! Would definitely stay here again.
GuideFriendly staff, well maintained. Nice weather.
ScoutOur Space was level and had good Wi-Fi . Felt safe and got a good nights rest. Dirt and gravel.
ScoutVery clean and quiet. Very friendly staff. Along the road, but it isn’t that busy and not really a problem.
GuideThe four campgrounds in this area (Iron Creek, Railroad Canyon, Upper and Lower Gallinas) are all closed in December 2021. Perhaps just for the season. Contact NFS for status.

RangerThe park is on the lake it's named after. They have a brand new visitor Center opened yesterday December 11, 2021. There are views of the lake and the nearby mountains. The sites are spacious and spread out on flat level gravel. There are a few tall trees but there are shrubs and some small Juniper and Pinyon tree's. It is not far off of I 25. There is another state park within 10 miles on the other side of the dam. You can sometimes hear highway noise from 817. You can see the traffic on I-25.
GuideFriendly staff, great area. Campgrounds clean. KOA Kabin was better than I expected. Wi-Fi password available. Tv in cabin l, heated, toilet and shower. Great place to stay whether just passing through, or staying awhile. Definitely coming back.
ScoutI’ve been hitting KOAs across the SW and this is maybe the nicest one I’ve stayed at so far. Excellent customer service, clean sites, bathrooms and a nice area. Just not liking the noisy geese at a pond nearby. Nothing they can do about that though!
ScoutQuiet campgrounds a bit on top of each other but the services are excellent
GuideThis campground is not far from I-25, not far from Truth or Consequences, with easy access on paved roads. There is a dump and water fill station as well as sites with electric and water, fire pits, a grill, and a pavillion with half walls for shade and privacy. Dispersed camping is available down by the lake near the boat ramp. Cell coverage is iffy, at best. Comfort Stations are clean, toilets have running water. There is only cold water at sink, and sporadic warm but mostly cold water in showers. There are no surfaces to set things down on. Only very few hooks in shower and toilet stalls. Waking up with calls from the cranes across the lake made my day happy! You’ll enjoy the sounds of night creatures, although the noise from I-25, depending on the direction of the wind, can be deafening, especially if you are in a tent. Bring ear plugs! Sunsets are breathtaking! If it were warmer I’d love to go out on my paddle board. I’d come back to this campground again and again!
TravelerNice Park just outside/south of the Gila National forest. Perfect spot if one wants to park and then drive into the Kila forest or cliff dwellings. Has clean showers and laundry, and a nice couple that runs the place. Just a few miles north of silver city. Nice drive to get supplies in town
TravelerAbout 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.
