Tucked away in the Sangre de Cristo range

This is a small and well laid out campground. The small Creek runs through it and it's right next to many of the camping sites. There is a downside though. Don't camp here if you want to have it the magnificent view of the sangra de Cristo range.

Cute campground

I didn’t actually camp here but drove through to check it out on a Wednesday afternoon. No sites were occupied.

The sites were pretty small and fairly close together but there are a lot of tall trees and vegetation that offer nice privacy. Several sites were right on the creek. I did see a water spigot too.
