About Mcgaffey Campground

Nestled in the Zuni Mountains where echoes of the past meet pristine wilderness, McGaffey Campground stands as a testament to both history and natural beauty. This expansive campground, the crown jewel of the Mt. Taylor Ranger District since 1937, occupies the grounds of a once-bustling railroad logging town. At 8,000 feet above sea level, towering ponderosa pines cast cooling shadows across well-maintained sites, while miles of hiking and biking trails beckon adventurers to explore the surrounding landscape. As visitor Lou Boyd notes, the abundance of trails makes this a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts seeking their next mountain adventure.
