This campground is situated in what was once the historic railroad logging and sawmill town of McGaffey. McGaffey Campground was built in 1937 and lies west of the Continental Divide in the Zuni Mountains, at an elevation of approximately 8,000 feet. It is the largest of the Mt. Taylor Ranger District campgrounds and has a volunteer host on site. Mature ponderosa pine trees provide scenic settings and shade, while small hills provide some privacy. Follow the road past the entrance, staying to the right to access the Oso and Page overnight sites. Remember to pay attention to road conditions and your vehicle's abilities before driving off of the main road. Please be respectful of our historic heritage as you explore the area.

We were unable to camp there. Camp grounds closed from Dec through March. We parked nearby and walked through the site.

What a find! Just off the main dirt road to your left. Beautiful level site with wonderful views. Quiet with rock fire pits and plenty of firewood around. Just a short drive from I40. (The main campground was closed so keep going and take the first left dirt road to the dispersed camping area.)

Used to be a nice campground and lack back in the 60's. went out to the lake last year and someone took the water out of the lake. no lake. like a ghost town. and afer all these years the road to the campground is still full of potholes and will tear your car up. bad road, no water, o fish, and the little town (fort wingate) is all shuttered up.
