The Cosmic Campground is a 3.5-acre campsite in the Gila National Forest of western New Mexico that is famous for being one of the darkest parts of the country at night, offering spectacular unobstructed 360°night sky views. Situated between the Gila Wilderness and the Blue Range Primitive Area, the campground features basic camping options such as four pull-through sites for RVs and vault toilets, as well as four telescope pads. There is no electricity or water, and campers need to bring all the essentials needed. The Cosmic Campground is an International Dark Sky Sanctuary and the first of its kind in the northern hemisphere.
