Ivy Creek

1 ReviewAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Accessible via a road that narrows and turns in the final couple of miles, Ivy Creek sits within Rio Grande National Forest near Red Mountain Creek, open from Memorial Day through October. No pets are allowed. Vault toilets are on-site; there is no running water or electricity. Anglers will find fishing reported as productive above the campground and along Red Mountain Creek, and campgrounds near Rio Grande National Forest fill a range of needs for those staging multi-day trips in the area. Large rigs have made the access road, though drivers should expect limited passing room on the final stretch. This site works best for self-sufficient campers comfortable with primitive facilities.

Stayed just below

This is a nice area. Bathroom with no running water or electric. We have a big unit and dry camped just below this campground on Red Mountain Creek at the bridge, 1/4 mile away. There are other spots along the road also. Fishing is good above Ivy Creek campground and on Red Mountain. The road getting there is excellent but does narrow down and gets curvy the last couple of miles. I have a 40’ 5th wheel and made it fine but would not want to meet other traffic in this short stretch. Plenty of hiking, biking, 4-wheeling, fishing or just sitting and enjoying the peaceful mountains. We were here in July and the temps at night were about 40 and the day was 70.
