Datil Well Recreation Area Campground
About this site
Datil Well Recreation Area Campground includes one of 15 water wells along the old Magdalena Livestock Driveway. The old cattle trail was established in the 1800s and stretched 120 miles from Springerville, AZ, to Magdalena, NM. The area includes 3 miles of hiking trails in pinyon-juniper and ponderosa pine woodlands, with scenic views of the San Augustin Plains. A packed-gravel loop road connects 22 individual campsites. Each campsite has its own packed-gravel parking spur, picnic table on a concrete pad under a shade shelter, fire ring, and grill. Electrical hookups are available at 3 of the campsites. There are three restrooms and two potable water stations within the campground. There is one group shelter with six tables under two separate shade shelters, grills plus a fire pit, a vault toilet, and plenty of parking available by reservation only.
