Wilderness Ranger District
Gila National Forest
This is a boondocking area, not otherwise designated by Gila National Forest officials, but permitted for camping. It's a large enough area to accommodate 12-20 campers, including full-sized RVs. Most of the roads through here are firm-enough for any vehicle. There are no amenities here, it's purely boondocking here.

While named “Comfort Well” on Google Maps, it’s also named “Celebration Well” on others. This area is also known as “Skates Canyon”. Officially, the road that runs through this popular boondocking area is Forest Road 4078U.
This camping area offers some well-shaded sites from tall Ponderosa Pine, but also others with full sun for those relying on solar power. The town of Mimbres is 13.5 miles to the south.
