This campground offers a fantastic camping experience within the popular Gila Box Riparian National Conservation Area. The area contains significant riparian areas with a plethora of birds, wildlife, and unique vegetation. The Gila Box RNCA is a guaranteed treat for any visitor.
From Safford, travel five miles east on AZ 70 to Soloman, then turn left onto Sanchez Road. Follow Sanchez Road to the end of the pavement and follow the signs to the campground.
Like this campground, always a space. Very large and private campsites. Easy access to the Gila River. Great launch point for first time river kayaking. Still pretty hot in mid September, nights cool down, needing thin blanket by morning in my tent.
Bathrooms are clean, has water too! The River right next to it is PERFECT for swimming & is breathtaking.
Always a great place to camp. Except over easter this year. The camp host was not there and a few families took advantage of that and were very disrespectful. Otherwise, beautiful.
Loved this place. So beautiful and peaceful. Large lots, fire rings, paths to restroom. Covered picnic tables. Trash receptacle and fresh water. Hope to stay longer next time. Road in was an adventure with different views the whole way.
Great dispersed camping. DO NOT drive a large/long rv to this place. We did and won't be ever again. Road is to narrow and steep. Thankfully/carefully made it in and out. BlM does not share enough information on this campground. We had an awesome time and will be back in our smaller RV. Days we're warm in 70s nights were chilly in 40s. A bit windy. Views were great I highly recommend for hikers and explorers. There are vault toilets, water spigot, no electricity, no dump station. It does have fire pits, grills, shade structure, picnic tables.
