Mesa

About

Mesa Campground occupies a scenic mesa above Lake Roberts in Gila National Forest's Wilderness Ranger District. At 6,150 feet elevation, the campground is shaded by juniper and pinon pine trees, with several sites positioned along the bluff offering views of the lake below. The location makes it an excellent base for birding, as migrating birds frequent the campground while waterfowl gather on the lake. The campground features heated restrooms with flush toilets, potable water, picnic tables at each site, fire rings, and garbage service. Twelve sites include water and electric hookups. Two ADA-accessible sites are available. All sites operate first-come, first-served with a 14-day maximum stay. Located approximately 25 miles north of Silver City via NM 35, Mesa Campground provides convenient access to Lake Roberts and the surrounding Gila wilderness. Pets are welcome but must be leashed, and horses or pack animals are not permitted in the campground.

Directions

From Silver City, take US 180 east approximately 9 miles to NM 152 east. Continue on NM 152 for about 15 miles, then turn north on NM 35 and continue approximately 25 miles to Lake Roberts and the campground.
