Owl Creek Campground

Located in the Gila Box Riparian National Conservation Area, Owl Creek Campground has seven camping unit spaces, picnic tables, grills, ramadas, and restroom facilities available to make your stay more enjoyable. The campground is a stop on the Black Hills Back Country Byway.

On November 28, 1990, Congress created the Gila Box Riparian National Conservation Area (RNCA). Four perennial waterways - the Gila River, Bonita Creek, Eagle Creek, and San Francisco River - are the lifeblood of this remarkable place. The Gila Box RNCA holds one of the most significant riparian zones in the southwest and offers tremendous recreational opportunities.
