A dirt road in decent shape leads into this dispersed camping area within the Gila National Forest, though no road signs mark the turnoff from Highway 15. Campers rely on GPS coordinates to locate the entrance. The site provides several level spots equipped with fire rings and offers substantial shade coverage throughout the camping area.
Large gravel piles sit further into the campground, and a Conservation Corps placard from 1976 marks some past construction project, though the current setup consists primarily of the dirt access road and camping spots. With no facilities available, this becomes a true dispersed camping experience for those exploring places to camp near Gila National Forest. McMillan Campground sits a few miles south for campers wanting developed amenities.
