Camping at Water Canyon Campground
This campground is located at an elevation of 6,800 feet in the Magdalena Mountains about 21 miles west of the City of Socorro. It’s a popular destination for locals due to four-wheeling along Water Canyon Road, the nearby picnic grounds, and the group campground with pavilion.
The road into the campground is all paved except for when you get to campground entrance which turns to firm-packed dirt and gravel. There is a tight turn into the campground, which may be a challenge for long trailers, but anything 30 feet or less should make it with no problems.
This is a busy campground on the weekends due to families in nearby Socorro visiting picnics and campouts. But from Monday to Thursday, it’s fairly light. Parties, kids, and loud noises run rampant on Fridays and Saturdays.
