Vasquez Ridge

Figured out this place is closed in the winter, only open June 15-Nov 15. Thats why people can’t find it

Not sure if we just couldn’t find the actual location, but we followed everyone else’s instructions and tried to pass all the ‘no camping zone’ sites but it just led us to a dead end. There were two ways to go from there but they were both gated and locked. We just pulled off on one of the many little parking areas off the road and car camped. It looked like if we had showed up in the day time we could’ve hiked down into the area and found a spot to set up. There were many signs that said ‘no camping within 1/4 mile of the road’ so your options are to either park and sleep in your car or hike in and try your luck. Maybe the gates are open at other times and we were just unlucky. Who knows, but not a super reliable camping area. Seems like a gamble.

Go past all the no camping signs until you see the green camping OK sign. Then there are lots of sites. We backed our 25 ft. RV into a spot right on the river. It had a nice fire pit, as did the two spots near us. Pretty empty in August
