Sapillo Creek Escape is a truly unique gem in the Gila Wilderness. It sits at 6,000 feet above sea level, was custom designed and built by the creator of the Bear Creek Motel and Lodge in Piños Altos, and took 7 years to construct. Everything from the saltillo tiles to the wood latilla ceilings are custom built and exquisitely hand-laid. With over 3,000 square feet in the home at your disposal, this place is made for just you, or you and your family and friends, to enjoy the Gila Wilderness, Silver City, and Grant County. Fishing, birding, biking, hiking, horseback riding and more await you in the Gila, with dining, arts, culture and more in Silver City. The Casita at Sapillo Creek Escape sits on 20 acres, so camping is welcome. Pets are permitted with prior review and approval. All pets must be friendly and get along with other pets, and must be fully vaccinated (proof of vaccinations is required, especially rabies, parvo virus and kennel cough). We purchased Sapillo Creek Escape in early 2019. We are thrilled and honored to own it, and be the caretakers of this gem, which was so dear to the owner’s heart.Welcome to our home! Tommy & Jennifer

The Historic L.C. Ranch can accommodate up to 5 RVs with full hookups & WiFi, including 3 sites with 50 amp electrical service, We are not accepting tent or car campers at this time of year. The L.C. Ranch was the second largest Cattle Ranch in American history. In its heyday around 1900 it was over one million acres. Today the cows are gone, along with the vast tracts of land and the cowboys that managed the herds. The Lyons and Campbell Ranch Headquarters remains as a time capsule of an era past. The extensive adobe compound includes the 27 room adobe mansion of Cattle Baron Tom Lyons and his wife Ida Campbell, along with the fabulous Old West Saloon, Jail, post office, bunkhouses, Theater and Chapel. In the summer months enjoy the great swimming pool, and in the spring and fall enjoy the Mimbres design hot tub. Our RV sites are closed in the winter, but our Airbnb apartments are closed in January only. The Theater has just added a video cinema system to its live performance capabilities. Think "movie night". There is a lot of history here, and for just $10/person you can take the 2 hour tour of the historic grounds. The L.C. Ranch is located in the tiny village of Gila, just 30 minutes from Silver City, right off U.S. 180 on NM Hwy 211.

Faywood Hot Springs stands out as a unique natural geothermal oasis nestled in the high desert of southwestern New Mexico, conveniently located between Silver City and Deming. This enchanting destination has captivated visitors for centuries with its soothing, healing waters. From prehistoric peoples and Spanish explorers to weary travelers, soldiers, miners, health enthusiasts, and countless visitors from around the world, Faywood Hot Springs has long been a sanctuary for those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. The hot springs emerge from a distinctive mound of tufa, a geological formation created over millennia by the continuous flow of mineral-rich water. This remarkable dome is a remnant of the region's tumultuous volcanic past, which also gave rise to the nearby City of Rocks State Park. Evidence suggests that ancient peoples revered these springs as sacred healing sites, with circular depressions and mortar holes indicating their early use by nomadic hunter-gatherers. Artifacts such as pottery found in the area further confirm that the Mimbres pueblo villagers and later the Apaches recognized the springs' restorative properties, making it a favored stop before their seasonal migrations to the mountains.

Lawrence & Dina couldn't be better hosts and have a perfect place to stay. Our site had a picnic table under a tree which was perfect for our morning coffee. We got in too late to see the sunset but loved the sunrise. Beware of choosing the "open directions in app" option. Twice it took us the wrong way. Third time was a charm (and verified using the address). If we're in the area again, we'll definitely stay there again. Also, if you are heading east in the morning and you like old school yet quirky diners, you have to try The Pit on 292 Cafe just outside Los Cruces for breakfast. Great food and character. A fun way to start your journey.

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!

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!

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.

Sapillo Creek Escape is a truly unique gem in the Gila Wilderness. It sits at 6,000 feet above sea level, was custom designed and built by the creator of the Bear Creek Motel and Lodge in Piños Altos, and took 7 years to construct. Everything from the saltillo tiles to the wood latilla ceilings are custom built and exquisitely hand-laid. With over 3,000 square feet in the home at your disposal, this place is made for just you, or you and your family and friends, to enjoy the Gila Wilderness, Silver City, and Grant County. Fishing, birding, biking, hiking, horseback riding and more await you in the Gila, with dining, arts, culture and more in Silver City. The Casita at Sapillo Creek Escape sits on 20 acres, so camping is welcome. Pets are permitted with prior review and approval. All pets must be friendly and get along with other pets, and must be fully vaccinated (proof of vaccinations is required, especially rabies, parvo virus and kennel cough). We purchased Sapillo Creek Escape in early 2019. We are thrilled and honored to own it, and be the caretakers of this gem, which was so dear to the owner’s heart.Welcome to our home! Tommy & Jennifer

The Historic L.C. Ranch can accommodate up to 5 RVs with full hookups & WiFi, including 3 sites with 50 amp electrical service, We are not accepting tent or car campers at this time of year. The L.C. Ranch was the second largest Cattle Ranch in American history. In its heyday around 1900 it was over one million acres. Today the cows are gone, along with the vast tracts of land and the cowboys that managed the herds. The Lyons and Campbell Ranch Headquarters remains as a time capsule of an era past. The extensive adobe compound includes the 27 room adobe mansion of Cattle Baron Tom Lyons and his wife Ida Campbell, along with the fabulous Old West Saloon, Jail, post office, bunkhouses, Theater and Chapel. In the summer months enjoy the great swimming pool, and in the spring and fall enjoy the Mimbres design hot tub. Our RV sites are closed in the winter, but our Airbnb apartments are closed in January only. The Theater has just added a video cinema system to its live performance capabilities. Think "movie night". There is a lot of history here, and for just $10/person you can take the 2 hour tour of the historic grounds. The L.C. Ranch is located in the tiny village of Gila, just 30 minutes from Silver City, right off U.S. 180 on NM Hwy 211. Learn more about this land:         Near Silver City, New Mexico, the Historic Lyons & Campbell ranch is in the tiny village of Gila in the lush Gila river valley in the otherwise arid Mountain Southwest. Dog Friendly!  (Cats?

There is plenty of firewood here, but you will have to cut/break it to usable size. Please be careful.   The authentic old west Saloon, Historic Main House, Theater, Gallery, Jail are all available to tour, and for workshops, retreats, Weddings, groups etc. The two hour guided tour of the museum in the main house, the "adobe mansion" of Cattle Baron Tom Lyons, is $10 per person for RV guests.   The swimming pool and Lanai are located near the Sunset Site, RV Site #3.  It will handle any size rig, 65'+, 20/30/50 amp. Big fifth wheels, Class A or C Motorhomes, no problem. It is our only pull through site. The Lanai by the pool has BBQ, pizza oven, sink, refrigerator, music, games, croquet, darts... Site for Sore Eyes, #4, is a smaller site with 20/30 amp electrical service. It is a "back in" site suitable for Class C, CamperVans, and smaller travel trailers.   The other two RV spots are a short walk away, about 150 feet.  Site #2, Gemini Site is good for up to 65', pull in, perfect for any size Motorhome or big rig, 20/30/30/20 amp with a unique double rig pedestal that allows a second 30 amp rig to hook up at your descretion.

"Back in" site, 20/30/50 amp, water, 4" sewer and wi-fi.     The Mimbres design hot tub is located in the bath house between the two RV locations.  It is wood-fired and available on request. (currently off-line due to rennovations)  It takes all day to heat it up and it is NOT recommended on windy or freezing nights as it is quite exposed.   There is also a bathroom with flush toilet at the pool, along with fridge, BBQ, Wood fired pizza oven, misters and bar in the Lanai, and a guest laundry with an indoor shower nearby in the Spanish courtyard. There are additional bathrooms in the Saloon and the Theater.     Karaoke at night in the old west Saloon used to be a regular occurrence on weekends before covid, let's see if we can get that going again this summer. The Saloon is equipped for live music as well, with guitar and bass amps, P.A. and electronic drum kit. The Saloon as well as the entire property is BYOB. The Saloon is not open to the public and has no liquor license. We like it this way.      Wi-fi is available at all our RV sites, and is best in the Saloon and Gallery.  We have just installed new Wi-Fi extenders.  Cell phone service is sketchy, some people with Verizon or T-Mobile get service. It's best on the observation mound.  Discounts for longer stays...

If you are looking for true peace and tranquility come park your RV next to our private pond. We allow only one RV at a time to ensure you enjoy the beauty and serenity of Rancho Viejo. We are a well hidden jewel in the southwest corner of New Mexico. Our location is about 30 minutes north of Lordsburg ( I-10) just off Hwy 90. Driving north on Hwy 90 the terrain transforms from desert floor to rolling hills and oak trees. Shopping and sight-seeing can be had in the town of Silver City just a few minutes away. Quaint shops, restaurants, and nearly all the amenities of a larger city await you there. While you are here you can also access the Gila Cliff Dwellings or Catwalk near Glenwood. However we think you will be quite content sitting in one of our swings, or dangling your feet in the water, and watching for the wild waterfowl that frequent our pond. We also have a small gift shop filled with locally made southwest pottery, western art, fresh eggs and homemade baked goods. We'd be happy to give you a tour of our gardens and greenhouse where you can also purchase fresh vegetables for your next meal. Our overhead gate has a clearance of 13' 7". We allow all types of RV trailers and vehicles, living quarters horse trailers, vans, tents, tipis, etc. No age limit on vehicles or trailers. Our parking area is huge, and right next to our pond. Please note : We close during the winter months from November 1st to April 1st.

Faywood Hot Springs

6.6mi from City of Rocks State Park · 1 site · Faywood, NM
Faywood Hot Springs stands out as a unique natural geothermal oasis nestled in the high desert of southwestern New Mexico, conveniently located between Silver City and Deming. This enchanting destination has captivated visitors for centuries with its soothing, healing waters. From prehistoric peoples and Spanish explorers to weary travelers, soldiers, miners, health enthusiasts, and countless visitors from around the world, Faywood Hot Springs has long been a sanctuary for those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. The hot springs emerge from a distinctive mound of tufa, a geological formation created over millennia by the continuous flow of mineral-rich water.

The best camping in City of Rocks State Park, NM guide

Overview

About

City of Rocks State Park is your self proclaimed “sponsor of adventure” and we agree! The entire park clocks in at just one square mile, but what’s inside this tiny little park is huge fun. The park is filled with pinnacles, or giant rock formations, that were formed after a volcanic eruption 34.9 million years ago. Today, these rad, red rocks tower over while you hike or bike through the grid like maze at their base. The park also offers a stunning botanical garden, stargazing, and views of the local wildlife. Be sure to stop by the brand new visitors center and get the best tips from the rangers before setting up camp in their comfy campgrounds. Silver City and Deming are close by for access to more fun. A little park that packs a big punch, we’re sure you’ll be mayor of this city in no time!

Used to come with my parents and sisters. They would hang out by the RV and relax and we'd all go explore the rocks and do some low key bouldering. It never got old and they do have a telescope where they do evening star talks so be sure and check the calendar. The starts are amazing even without their assistance.

Amazing place! Most sites are secluded because of all the rocks. A nice hiking trail starts near the campsites. Plan on a night of stargazing.
