Free place in a cute town

I walked through Kingstown and which is a friendly, adorable town. It is just up the road from their provided campground.

The campground is really just a couple of spots with a picnic table and not a destination but worthy of stopping if the mountains are cold.

This is a cute little campground

This campground is right off the highway, but not too much traffic. The small creek bed has nice water depending on the time of year. Too hot in the summer. Gets cold I. The winter, but it is a nice place when the weather is too cold to go further up the mountains to other campgrounds in the Gila. Vault toilet is clean. Only a couple of camp spots. We tent camp, but I think you'd be able to park a small camper or trailer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any photos of Kingston Campground to view before booking?

While specific photo galleries of Kingston Campground may be limited, you can find images through the official Forest Service website and various camping platforms including The Dyrt. Photos typically showcase the campground's natural setting with its small creek bed and surrounding vegetation. The simple camping area features picnic tables in a desert landscape with mountain views in the background. For the most current visual information, contacting the Gila National Forest office directly is recommended.

Where is Kingston Campground located in New Mexico?

Kingston Campground is located just off the highway near the small, friendly town of Kingston in New Mexico. It sits at a lower elevation compared to other campgrounds in the Gila National Forest area. The campground's position makes it a good alternative when higher mountain campgrounds in the Gila are too cold. The charming town of Kingston is just up the road from the campground, offering additional local character to visitors exploring this part of New Mexico.

What are the latest updates or changes at Kingston Canyon Campground?

Kingston Campground remains a simple, rustic camping area with just a few spots featuring picnic tables. The campground maintains its basic amenities without major changes to its facilities. Weather considerations continue to be important - it can be too hot in summer months and gets cold in winter, making spring and fall often the most comfortable seasons to visit. The campground serves primarily as a convenient stopping point rather than a destination campground, particularly useful when higher elevation sites in the Gila mountains are too cold.

Does Kingston Campground have a swimming pool or water facilities?

Kingston Campground does not have a swimming pool or developed water facilities. The campground does feature a small creek bed that has flowing water depending on the time of year, which adds to the natural setting but is not designed for swimming. Campers should bring their own water supply for drinking and other needs as there are no dedicated water hookups or facilities available.
