Owl Creek Campground
Owl Creek Campground offers seven campsites (three pull-through, four pull-in) with picnic tables, grills, ramadas, and restroom facilities, situated on a scenic bluff overlooking the Gila River and historic Old Safford Bridge.
Located just a quarter mile from the Gila River Boat Put-In, it serves as an ideal base for paddling adventures in the Gila Box Riparian National Conservation Area, with a trail providing direct access to the boat launch.
Note that the campground is dry (no potable water), operates on a first-come, first-served basis with a $5 nightly fee, and is accessed via the unpaved Black Hills Back Country Byway, which is not recommended for vehicles/trailers exceeding 40 feet.
