Family-owned and operated by the Campbell family since 1940, this ranch is a remnant of an old ranching community established in the 1880s by the Hills brothers. It also served as a military camp in the late 1800s, designed to protect local homesteaders. In 1929, Doc Campbell purchased the expansive 320-acre ranch after relocating to the area. He further enhanced the property by building Doc Campbell's Post in 1963, which continues to serve visitors today. The ranch offers overnight accommodations, a convenience store stocked with camping and picnic supplies, and gasoline, ensuring guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay. Today, Becky Campbell, Doc's daughter, upholds the family tradition of welcoming visitors to experience the breathtaking beauty of the Gila. Additionally, Ysabel, Doc's other daughter, along with her husband Paul, manages Doc's Trading Post, providing a charming spot for guests to explore local goods.

2 nights at Casita on Sapillo Creek Escape

A little slice of quiet rustic heaven in a very noisy world. Jennifer & Tommy were great hosts, very helpful & hospitable. The location was perfect for exploring The Gila Natl Forrest with my pup. We visited the Gila Cliff Dwellings Visitor Center & received his Bark Ranger badge, hiked on numerous dog friendly trails & soaked in the hot springs. The Casita had everything we needed to stay comfortably & even though our trip was in mid December, we stayed toasty warm & cozy. I felt safe & very at peace here. The casita was very clean, as is the property & very dog friendly. We both slept better than we have in a while, coming from the city. Lake Roberts is beautiful, with the casita so close. I look forward to another trip so I can bring my kayak & enjoy the mountain lake.

Had an amazing night at this hip camp. Bryon and Marilyn met us there they were so sweet and helpful. We really felt taken care of. It was super peaceful and private, beautiful star gazing spot! We also went into the nearby town of Silver City and had a great time the next day, I would definitely recommend doing that! Great food/art scene!

Beautiful American elm trees provide welcome shade.

Alex, the owner, was great. Our site was under huge elm trees and therefore we had lots of shade. Alex’s 3 big dogs were very laidback and sweet. We took the 2 hour tour and were amazed at his knowledge of the Lyons, Campbell’s and the history of the ranch. The family has collected furniture, art and artifacts from all over the world which were amazing. The ranch is nice and quiet. The weather was rainy and therefore wasn’t conducive to a swim but the pool looked inviting. The wood fired hot tub and showers weren’t available when we were there but are a work in progress. The restrooms were a little primitive inside the saloon but were clean. Our grandson enjoyed playing pool inside the saloon. Understand that the ranch and buildings are very old and you shouldn’t expect it to be pristine. Consider it an experience not to be missed. I’d go there again and the tour is a must!

Weekend Trip to ESCAPE to the L.C. Ranch , Gila NM

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the L.C. Ranch over the 4th of July weekend. We had full, drive-thru RV hookups. We had access to the pool, toilets, a shower, and a washer and dryer, along with other amenities, if need be. The westward views from our spot were breathtaking. We enjoyed our pop-in visits every now and then from Alex's three dogs. Alex took us on a fascinating two-hour, historical tour of the ranch. We liked being close to Bill Evans Lake and the Catwalk. If you're looking for a place to visit a little off-the-beaten-path, this would be it. We definitely recommend a visit! Thanks, again, Alex!

This place was amazing. It was truly the oasis we needed. Byron and Marilyn met us on site and gave us a tour. They are both so kind and down to earth. It was a pleasure every time we had a conversation with them. The property itself is meticulously cared for. There is shade, a fountain, a beautiful pond, and even swings over the pond. The view is breathtaking and there is so much privacy! We were lucky enough to be there on the night there was a lightning storm. It was an incredible sight! We will definitely stay here again because it truly felt like a home.

The vibe, the host who is fantastic--the perfect combo of friendly and allowing space, the place itself, a beautiful old adobe ranch, some parts under renovation, with old roses in bloom. The setup worked well with good water, and electric and RV septic, all well maintained. I stayed in site 1, the canopy and it was wonderful to park under the massive elm trees. The dogs are very sweet. Highly recommend and do take Alex's tour if you can.

This was a great spot. Nice shade tree. Easy parking and not to close to the other site. The views were pretty and wide open. There was not much noise except birds and cows. Alex was a great host and we enjoyed the history tour the ranch. We even had a drink at the bar (BYOB) and shot pool!

As nice as it gets! The setting was wonderful, rural and next to a beautiful pond. Dark skies, full of stars, yet only minutes from Silver City. The setting is as quiet as can be as you are the only guest and no traffic nearby. The hosts are wonderful, engaging and meticulous about caring for their property. We will surely return, hopefully many times.
