About Water Canyon Group Campground

Tucked away in the breathtaking upper reaches of west-central New Mexico's Cibola National Forest, Coal Mine Campground offers a refreshing escape at 7,400 feet above sea level. This mountain retreat near Grants welcomes both tent campers and RV enthusiasts seeking solitude among towering pines, ancient junipers, and stately oaks. The campground's gently sloping terrain creates natural privacy between sites, each equipped with fire rings, picnic tables, and grills for memorable outdoor meals. While the facilities maintain a rustic charm with vault toilets and well-maintained parking spurs, visitors should note that the campground's remote location means bringing your own water supply is essential for your mountain adventure.
