Black Canyon is a drive to get to (must take 4-wheel drive, high clearance vehicle) but the bathroom was clean, with TP and hand sanitizer, and the picnic tables had seen some years but were servicable. Nice camping area with the hopefully soon to be designated Wild and Scenic portion of East Fork of the Gila River meandering through which makes good hiking because the steep canyon makes it nearly impossible to get lost.
When you pass the BIG meadow with old fencing on your way to Black Canyon from Mimbres (Hwy 35), look for a historic homestead ruin on the same side as the meadow but just a bit down, if you hit the rectangular water trough located on the oppisite side of the meadow, you have gone passed the ruin.
