About

Located in the Gila Box Riparian National Conservation Area in Arizona, Owl Creek Campground has seven campsites, picnic tables, grills, ramadas, trash receptacles, and restroom facilities available to make your stay more enjoyable. There is no potable water available at the campground. Three of the campsites are pull-through sites, and four are pull-in sites, making the campground suitable for trailers and RVS. The campground is a stop on the Black Hills Back Country Byway , and it is also just a quarter mile from the Gila River Boat Put-In. A trail starts near the kiosk to provide a path down to the Old Safford Bridge Picnic Area or the Gila River Boat Put-In. Owl Creek Campground provides visitors with a beautiful view of the riparian area and Guthrie Peak, one of the highest points in Greenlee County.
