Lincoln National Forest
Throughout the Lincoln National Forest you are allowed to do what is called 'dispersed camping'. This is a rustic experience where you are allowed to drive up to 300' off of an open public road onto USFS lands to park and camp. No permits are needed for such activity and no cost is associated with this camping experience. Be sure to bring what you need, especially water, and also pack out what you pack in.

GuideCool Weather. Great Views. Coming Back!
This place was an unexpected blessing in our NM trip. The road through the forrest was enough to take your breath away but little did we know that where we camped would be the peak of our week long trip. You can’t deny the stark temp difference coming from Roswell to LNF. We parked on the side of a hill with the tall trees up the sunset and wind. Never felt so in tune with nature. I’m coming back for more.

GuideNice area
Cell service barely exists, on and off 1 bar AT&T. It's a Forest road so check it out before pulling you trailer up it. Was gated and locked about 1.5 miles in no room to turn a rig around there. Larger than vehicle should stay at beginning of road.
GuideFun, good time
The good: it was enjoyable out in the night sky and the stars were very clear and beautiful. Fire pits were all over the place and area had a lot of spots to set up camp.
The bad: camp sites were a little too close together and for a packed Labor Day weekend it wasn’t quite the escape it could have been. Weird noise in middle of night, sounding like screaming but who really knows.
Overall had a good time and would return.
