Iron Creek Campground

One of the first Gila campgrounds I stayed at during the Early Times, plenty of space and shade Edit: I just spent four nights at Iron Creek...the kids at #13 left smoldering logs in their fire ring, several folks beat a huge dead log for firewood, and some lady cut a bunch of branches off a tree. No signal (TMO), tried to rain but failed miserably. Ran out of water so I'm back in Silver.

First date with my to be lover, friend, companion. I was 18. Went for a Christmas tree with my parents. 1964. Cooked hot chocolate on the grill. Visited many times since. This is a very special place, clean, with pine scented fresh air, often there is water in the creek. Just so you know, campground has no potable water.

Spent the weekend there and the views were amazing. Plenty of restrooms, tables, grills, and just over all a great time. My son had a blast. He had me walking for over 2 hours straight and he’s 3 😂

Great free camping or day trip spot with fire rings and picnic tables with several public restrooms. Easy access just off the road but you will go up past 8,000 feet if you come over Emory Pass. There are twelve camping spots that are about 150' a part with a small creek that runs parallel with the camp sites. Great scenary in the fall as the leaves change color.

Nice little camping spot along highway 152..almost to Emory pass...elevation around 7000..pit toilet and no water ...but free.. And only a few sites but only one other person there on a weekday besides myself...
