We had a wonderful experience spending the night at the campground / springs. Sitting in the hot springs staring at the stars and enjoying the conversation with other guests was worth the trip out.

Awesome location! About 30 something miles from the highway, down a very windy country road. Make sure you plan out your route ahead of time, I didn't get a single bar of service the whole time I was out there. Seeing the stars from one of the immaculately clean hotsprings was a truly magical experience. I've never been to a campsite so quiet. It's right next to a beautiful little creek, and there... Awesome location! About 30 something miles from the highway, down a very windy country road. Make sure you plan out your route ahead of time, I didn't get a single bar of service the whole time I was out there. Seeing the stars from one of the immaculately clean hotsprings was a truly magical experience. I've never been to a campsite so quiet. It's right next to a beautiful little creek, and there's plenty of wildlife everywhere (outside the gates.) They also had pretty decently sized firewood bundles for sale. And above all in my book they were dog friendly!! Auggie is an awesome host, and we can't wait to return.

I stayed one night here and had a great time, I thought it was a quaint, quiet place to enjoy the Gila. I used the campground mostly and went in the pools after dark, which is clothing optional when the sun goes down. Everyone, including the owners and all my neighbors, were respectful and quiet. When I didn’t have enough cash on me, Carla allowed me to pay by PayPal which I appreciated since the... I stayed one night here and had a great time, I thought it was a quaint, quiet place to enjoy the Gila. I used the campground mostly and went in the pools after dark, which is clothing optional when the sun goes down. Everyone, including the owners and all my neighbors, were respectful and quiet. When I didn’t have enough cash on me, Carla allowed me to pay by PayPal which I appreciated since the campground is far from services. I read some of the other reviews complaining about no showers, no handwashing stations and only a porta potty. Y’all, this place is primitive. Change your perspective and you might have a better time out here. Between two of the pools is a potable hot water spout, cold water spout, and a small “handwashing” sink, wash your hands there. If you’re the type of person who needs a clean shower while you’re camping, this isn’t the place for you. Many people complained about the small rocks in the bottom of the pools, get yourself some swim shoes… I will 100% be back here.

This place is just gorgeous. Primarily, the three hot pools. What a treat to walk over from the van in your robe at night, and soak under a blanket of stars! The campsite is basic to say the least but, you know what, if it were any more developed we'd have been priced out of the hot spring experience. $8pp for 2 hours or $12pp to park overnight in the van? A no brainer for us. We must have soaked... This place is just gorgeous. Primarily, the three hot pools.

A no brainer for us. We must have soaked 12 of the 24 hours we were there! So, overall, I highly recommend it.

Perfect spot close to Gila National Forest and Cliff Dwellings National Monument. Hot showers, a hot tub powered by natural thermal hot springs, and a beautiful view overlooking horse pasture and bluffs. If you have an RV or camper van, this is the best location just minutes from the cliff dwellings and breathtaking hiking trails. Water and electric hookup available. Doc Campbell’s store has snack...

I had a very enjoyable time. Great views. All the hook ups you need. Very Clean Showers and bathrooms. Decent pricing, they accommodate small vehicles and welcome walk-ins. Hosts Denisha and Jhon are fun, charismatic and really helpful with any questions or request. I was able to rent a fire grill and buy wood from Jhon so I can cook my Juicy Smoky Steaks.

I was able to rent a fire grill and buy wood from Jhon so I can cook my Juicy Smoky Steaks. Ask him for cooking tips. He knows his stuff. Got to meet a couple of the Ranch owners. Very lovely people all around and they keep everyone safe. Awesome place to relax. double thumbs up!

This is the closet RV site to the Gila NM. We had two nights here and it is very quiet but January temps are cold overnight. We experienced 8F or minus 12C so run your heaters and have plenty of Propane because you can’t buy it here. Closest is Silver City, three hours away. There are two toilet/showers with excellent hot water. There is a hot tub but it was locked up ? There is a shop across the... This is the closet RV site to the Gila NM.

Closest is Silver City, three hours away. There are two toilet/showers with excellent hot water. There is a hot tub but it was locked up ? There is a shop across the road but it closes at 400pm exactly and not open Monday’s in winter. And don’t use Road 15, too tight for RV, only access via Road 35. The days are grand though and Gila National Monument (dwellings) is a must see. If you have time, drop down to the river nearby and experience the thermal pools.

My husand and I just got back from 10 days at Gila Hot Springs Ranch and RV Park, which is in the middle of two National Wilderness areas of over 200,000 acres and just 3 miles south of the Gila Cliff Dwelling National Monument, all of which are within the Gila National Forest.

My husand and I just got back from 10 days at Gila Hot Springs Ranch and RV Park, which is in the middle of two National Wilderness areas of over 200,000 acres and just 3 miles south of the Gila Cliff Dwelling National Monument, all of which are within the Gila National Forest. It was a great place to stay---a geothermal jacuzzi outdoors but walled for privacy, 2 full bathrooms with geothermically warmed floors, geothermally hot and plain old cold water at each campsite, a gorgeous canyon wall of crags and spires to watch the sun/moon rise over, wild flowers everywhere even though it's October (recent rains woke them up), and lots of cool hikes even for laid back hikers like us (we don't usually go over 4 miles) to hike daily. One day we hiked some of the Middle Fork trail from the Gila Cliff Dwelling National Monument and came upon the Lightfeather Hot Spring--the pools closest to the spring are the hottest so you kind of try them all until you find one that is the right temp for you. There are hot springs about 7 miles further out the same trail, too. Temps often got down to the 30s at night, but by 11:00 were above or near 70 each day. We were snug in our HT! After staying up late stargazing, we'd go to the jacuzzi and soak before going to bed. The jacuzzi constantly pumps in VERY hot water from the hot springs then alternates with cool water to keep the temperature between 98 and 102 degrees. Because the water is continually renewing, there are no chemicals in it (although they do pour in bleach a few times a week early in the morning to control algae, but it's all gone within a couple of hours, well before most people use it). Campground park hosts Kit and Yaakov are great, very fun and attentive to guests (but NOT intrusive) and they take park upkeep personally, paying attention to details so the bathrooms were always clean and stocked with TP and soap and the jacuzzi free of leaves (mostly, it is fall!). Becky Campbell, the owner, checked in with us most days (passing by on her ATV with well-behaved and quiet dogs following) to make sure everything was good while she worked around the campground. Her very tame horses and mules wandered through the campground most days grazing. (Garnet, another friendly and hard-working ranch employee, cleared their "leavings" pretty quickly.) Gas, ice, gifts, some camping supplies, great homemade ice cream and free wifi are right across the street at Doc Campbell's store (owned and well-run by another branch of the Campbell family). Gila Hot Springs Campground (owned also well-run by yet another branch of the Campbell family) is across the street and down by the Gila River--and has 3 natural hot springs pools that you can get into for $5 a person (day use; if you camp there for $8 a night the hot springs are included). Wildlife we saw: deer, a ringtail, a javelina, turquoise-bellied lizards, fat lizards, HUGE tadpoles, fish, and squirrels. Wildlife we heard others saw: bear (way out in the wilderness) and elk (in a river meadow near the Gila Cliff Dwelling National Monument visitor center). Mountain lions and wolves are also in the wilderness although we never saw them or heard of anyone seeing them. The National Forest Service has plans to re-introduce river otters to the area in the next year. We only heard of the Gila in June and now, after 10 days there, we plan to come back year after year--next time to the Lake Roberts area, not because of anything wrong with Gila Hot Springs Ranch and RV park, but because we want to experience more of the area, which is HUGE. If you are interested in wilderness (no roads!), archeology, stargazing, hiking, boon-docking, geology, etc., this area is for you!
