We were met by a very kind man, Jesse I believe, who led us to our spot. Our daughter had so much fun playing with everything. Is as adults absolutely enjoyed the large fire and peace we felt. The sunset was amazing! Great place for the family!

The Bottoms
We loved staying in the Bottoms and enjoyed the short walk to the Gila River. Jesse and family were very kind and it’s hard to find so much green and shade anywhere else nearby.
Excellent host and a wonderful family. Bakers Makers is a must for your camping adventure. Beautiful area and a river where you could drop in a trout line as well.

The Bottoms on The Gila
The landscape here was incredibly beautiful and the hosts were very kind. They had free ice and water at the entrence which was a nice-to-have as well. I would highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for some peace and nature :)
This was a nice place to camp for two nights. Set amongst large cottonwood trees, the Gila River is just a short walk away. We had dogs and kids and it was the perfect place to just hang out and play. We towed a 20' trailer in--tight fit through some farm gates but no issue when taking it slow. Thanks to Jesse and family for making it available!

Camp here! My wife and I had another site fall through and Jesse had us set up within 2 hours.
This is an incredibly private site, it's just you and whoever you're camping with.
It's also a wonderful location for astrophotography.
We hope to have the chance to stay again.

The Bottoms on The Gila
We had a blast. Didn’t see any other people, played on the zip line ane walked down to the water. All of it was beautiful and Jesse was a great host
They are very generous. They gave us endless amounts of firewood and full access to the creek.

Jesse’s ranch is so cool! You’ll be one with the cattle. There are beautiful shade trees snd plenty of space to make your camp. We came with our dog and she loved the easy run around. You can hear the coyote and have privacy on the back of Jesse’s land. Jesse was welcoming and we enjoyed a great chat before departing. We recommend this place!
Jesse was very gracious and accepted our request at the very last minute! We were passing through the area and needed a place. Cool location with trees, lots of wood for a great fire. Farm road passage which was a little tight but away from the farm.
Could use a table.

My friend and I had a nice stay in this beautiful area! The host was very helpful and kind. We enjoyed the trees and greenery surrounding our campsite, as well as the friendly cows who came to visit us. Would visit again, and recommend for others!
We had a great time at Baker's acres. The campground was the perfect place for my kids to explore and be out in nature. The big cottonwood trees provided good shade, and the swing and zipline were fun additions to the area. The river was really close by, which was just what we wanted. Jesse went out if his way to make sure we were taken care of and comfortable, even letting us borrow a hammer to hammer in the stakes on our tent. The dutch oven meal his wife made us was fabulous. I would highly recommend this campground and will definitely use it again the next time we come to this area.

The Bottoms on The Gila
Good things was there was a swing and very small Zipline. However the place was filled with cow dung and insects. We end up not staying at the place.

Jesse is a fabulous host. Very accommodating. Beautiful property with lots of shady spots to camp. There are lawn games, table and chairs, and a small zip line that my son loved! We even got a visit from the cows! We were the only campers that night so it was extremely private. I would definitely come back again! The one note is there is cow manure but that’s the charm of staying on a cattle ranch! Plus, there is a shovel on the property to move some cow patties.
The place was delightfully quiet with lots of shade, lots of available firewood, and easy access to the river. We literally saw not one other human for 2 1/2 days (2 other sites were both vacant), but we did see lots of awesome birds and heard many coyotes at night. Jesse was accommodating and friendly , the place was as described. Definitely recommended if you’re looking for quiet solitude and riparian environment.

Jesse was very responsive, kind and accommodating. Sweet spot by the river, under some beautiful willows. Provided a port-o-san, water and ice.
Took me and my girls. Jesse was very polite and attentive. I really couldn’t have asked for more. Everything is as described. It was very comfortable. I totally forgot about mosquitos since were by the river 😬so sorry for all the girls screaming the first night haha. If your forgetting anything it’s a 10 min drive down the road to Family dollar. Space for the kids to play and trees to climb.
Mixed feelings
· March 2021
This site was a mixed bag, and not really what we expected.
We had searched for “Silver City” on the Hipcamp app, and on the app this looked like it was very close to there, when in reality it was over an hour away, which was frustrating (we wanted to be by Silver City) but not the fault of the host.
Pros: pretty private. Other campers were staying nearby, but not very close. It felt like we had a lot of space to ourselves. Definitely more than we would have had if we stayed at a regular campground. We were also able to see a lot of stars, which was nice. The host was friendly, though we never met and only communicated via messaging.
Cons: Not a very pretty campsite during the day. Not a big fan of the area in general. Lots of cow poop all over the campsite, and it smelled. To be fair, we did sign up to stay at a cattle ranch. But it was a bit much. We have camped at places where cows pass through, and never dealt with this much poop. We had to drive through thorny bushes, which sounded like they scratched the side of our rental (luckily they didn’t, but it made me nervous).

A remote campsite among a shady grove of desert trees. Amenities are minimal, but there is access to a porto, potable water and ice. The host was also very responsive and kind. Would definitely return.

The Bottoms on The Gila
Awesome site in cottonwood bosque along hula river. Amazing stargazing, birdwatching. Authentic Southwestern ranching environment with great areas for campfires. Good road down to campsite. Cool, private setting.
Great spot, good folks, sweet family, nice place! Refreshingly hospitable. If you owned it, you’d keep it a secret, nuff said. P.S., ask nice for ice...and when someone advertises a Dutch Oven dinner....you say yes!
A great place to camp. Very private and quiet. Nice pumpkin patch with a swing for kids. The river was dry when we were there but this provided an awesome hike.
We had a lot of fun at this site. The big trees provided essential shade and helped with the heat. Plus, they are beautiful and fun to climb on. The swing was an added bonus for our kids.
Note that you're camping in a cow pasture, so there are cows around and also their waste. It wasn't a problem for us, although my younger kid was a little nervous about the bigger cows until the moved on. There were also some flies but nothing too bad.
Overall, we had a great night there. Would camp at this site again.
I didn’t have much time to explore but Jesse’s ranch is very beautiful! Just spent one night on a two day road trip. Keep in mind this is a working cattle ranch, so lots of cows around! I car camped at site 3, after arriving late. Jesse met me upon arrival and directed me to the site. Very easy to get to off of I-10. Lordsburg and Denton AZ are both close by for essentials. Would recommend!
The host was very friendly and responsive and showed us right to our campsite when we arrived. It was very private and we felt very safe. We saw a beautiful sunset and literally had cows looking at our bumper in the morning. Our son loved it so much being in the pasture with the cows all night.
Oh and our campsite had a swing in the tree and our son love that as well!

This private campground was exactly what we needed! Lots of privacy, yards away from the Gila River, and beautiful trees to give us shade and keep is safe from the rain. It was such a great place!
This is an amazing location. We got there after dark and Jesse came right out and got us all lined up at the site. When morning came it was so pretty. We were able to let the kids run around and gather wood and just be kids. We will definitely be back.
