Owl Creek Campground

Nestled within the Gila Box Riparian National Conservation Area, Owl Creek Campground serves as a peaceful, primitive retreat for those looking to immerse themselves in the rugged beauty of the Arizona Southwest. Situated at an elevation of 3,443 feet, this year-round site offers a quiet escape along the scenic Black Hills Back Country Byway. Its location provides a unique opportunity to explore the diverse landscapes of this protected riparian region, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers and those seeking a remote camping experience.

The campground features seven established sites, including three pull-through and four pull-in spots, which can accommodate various RVs and trailers. Amenities are designed for basic comfort, including picnic tables, grills, ramadas, trash receptacles, and restroom facilities. Please note that this is a truly primitive experience; there is no potable water available on-site, so visitors should plan to pack in all necessary supplies for their stay.

Owl Creek is perfectly suited for self-sufficient campers who enjoy hiking and the quiet solitude of the desert. Whether you are traveling through the region in an RV or looking for a base camp for local exploration, this BLM-managed site provides a functional and scenic stop for travelers who value the simplicity of off-grid living.
