Red Mountain TH

A quarter mile off Highway 180, Red Mountain TH provides dispersed camping at several pull-offs with fire rings and level ground that accommodates large RVs. The road becomes increasingly rutted closer to the trailhead, with potential mud issues during wet weather. Campers find abundant deadfall wood scattered across the mostly open grassland dotted with juniper and small pinyon pines.

The second and third pull-offs from the highway still pick up some road noise, though the setting remains relatively quiet. Both T-Mobile and Verizon provide cell coverage at the sites. The Red Mountain Trail begins nearby, offering hikers access to the area's namesake formation. Campers can explore additional campgrounds around Parks for extended stays in the region.

Gorgeous views!

You can't park at the trailhead parking lot, but there are several pull-offs with fire rings and flat ground that can accommodate even a large RV. The closer you get to the trailhead the more rutted the road gets. I can see mud being a problem in rainy weather. There is plenty of dead fall wood. Mostly open grassland with juniper and small pinyon pines. We were at the second or third pull off from the highway and could still hear highway noise. T-Mobile coverage is okay. No services. Do not miss hiking the Red Mountain Trail If you stop here.
