Gila Hot Springs Campground is a private business owned by Allen and Carla Campbell. It offers camping and natural hot spring pools beside the Gila River in southwest New Mexico. We are located 40 miles north of Silver City and about 4 miles from the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. Our area is surrounded by the Gila Wilderness and the larger Gila National Forest.
The hot springs bubble out of rocks on property owned by the Campbell family. The springs vary in temperatures from 147 to 154 degrees F. and are considered sweet springs (no sulfur odor). These springs have been used by the Campbell family since the 1940s. Other local businesses are Doc Campbell's Post, an interesting country store, and the Gila Hot Springs Ranch and RV park.

About
Report
Gila Hot Springs Campground was started in 1992 by Allen and Carla Campbell. The idea was to create a place for the general public to have access to the natural hot springs and to also provide camping facilities. Since its inception, the campground has taken on a personality of its own, thanks in part to our return customers.
