Located among large mesquite trees and desert grasses, the campground offers a developed setting for an overnight or week-long camping trip.  Set at the foot of the Galiuro Mountains, Fourmile Canyon offers views of juniper and other mountain shrubs and grasses in the lower elevation of the Galiuros.

This is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the warm winter sun when higher elevation campgrounds are closed for the winter.  In the spring and fall the campground is popular with javelina and deer hunters, but there are plenty of other weekends when the campground is less crowded.
