"Last week I visited Faywood, New Mexico which is located about halfway in between Silver City and Deming, and I came across a unique terrain with structures of Boulder rocks that are “formed of volcanic"
"Clean, well run park with many nice sites tucked in the rocks. Best for small rigs and tents, though there is an electric section also."
"Close to town and a ton of hiking! Super clean!! Would definitely stay here again."
"Just not liking the noisy geese at a pond nearby. Nothing they can do about that though!"
"It’s close to downtown. There’s a grocery store within walking distance as well as a Dairy Queen and a Lottaburger. Very quiet. Hot showers. Full hookups. All for $35/night plus tax"
"Great location walking distance to everything. There’s a grocery store around the corner. Super quiet. Woke up to the birds chirping away. Priced fairly and would stay here again."
"Walking around will also involve walking through dirt areas to reach your destination. All in all though it’s a nice, private, roomy park that puts you right near Silver City’s local shops!"
"The woman behind the counter was so accomodating and the spot we got for 2 nights was huge and very private. The showers were large and clean as well as the rest of the park."
"Great place and close to sights, yet nestled in a lovely spot."
"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."
$25 - $35 / night
"Nice 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."
"Perfect location to leave our trailer and go out exploring!"
"There’s a short, informal trail at the north end of the campground past the bathroom. The trail goes about 0.25 miles out; so 0.5 mile round trip. A nice evening or morning stroll or both."
"My only complaint would have to be that it’s pretty close to the Main Street so you will hear some cars passing by but other than that, it’s a great place to camp"
"There aren’t any numbered sites, but there are makeshift campfires and flat areas all around. The site also has trash disposal and vault toilets. Lots of trees for shade and hammocks."
"Easily accessible from NM-35 and near a couple of general stores in Lake Roberts (10 minute drive north) and Mimbres (15 minute drive south). "
"It is a tight squeeze to get a truck back there, Tacoma, but we got tucked in just fine. Also there’s a woodsy sign leading into the forest! Cool to see an iconic owl!"
"After not finding a campsite at the other near one called Cherry Creek. We ended up at McMillan campsite. Super close to the restroom but not close enough where it is unsanitary."
"Lots of trees, two outhouses, a good few tables and designated campfire circles, all around nice if but a little muddy depending on the time of year"
TravelerI really enjoyed the scenery here, there are restrooms and a long stream that you could sit next to and see all the creatures that are in the stream. The ground is solid for RV’s
TravelerMe and my gf fell in love with this camping spot, the weather was nice when we were there, cute wild or domesticated animals walk the space not aggressive just cute and helpful with the leafs and cycle of vegetation foods/leafs in the area.
Travelerthey got restrooms picnic tables, flat surface ground for RV’s the weather is nice the water stream is very satisfying to view while relaxing away from town or city life.
ScoutNice widely spaced sites separated by nice juniper evergreens. Place is very tidy and well cared for.
ScoutThe camp site had nice spacing , great environment and the views are nice . My only complaint would have to be that it’s pretty close to the Main Street so you will hear some cars passing by but other than that, it’s a great place to camp
GuideHighly recommend this clean campground! Unique camping next to rock (Boulder) formations! Love how far each campsite is spaced out! Beautiful view of sunsets!!!
GuideCool little spot. Well maintained but you’re boondocking. Come in with water and power if you need it. Little fire rings randomly located throughout. Great spot for a night and we’re looking forward to going back. Super close to the Gila Cliff Dwellings. Has restrooms no showers or sinks to wash your hands.
TravelerThis lake is great for paddle boarding, relaxing and taking in the views.
RangerI stayed here during CDT Days. It’s close to downtown. There’s a grocery store within walking distance as well as a Dairy Queen and a Lottaburger. Very quiet. Hot showers. Full hookups. All for $35/night plus tax
