Great Location
Campsite is situated at the Cave Creek trailhead, a cool hike to some local caves. It's 5 bucks for the night, 2 dollars day use, all backpacking tent sites. Some shelters. Gorgeous views, camp guide says its booked fill every weekend. Good luck
Amazing views
We drove out to the Pecos Wildness and decided to backpack a trail called Cave Creek, this is a mild trail about 2.8 miles in and 2.8 out. As per usual we get an idea and have to try it π€¦π½ββοΈ π, we do not have any backpacking gear so we improvised and used some of our camping gear. This was a crazy decision, let me tell you camping gear even in a small amount is HEAVY. Itβs safe to say that this easier trail kicked our butts. No only did we carry heavy gear in the rain but we also took the longer route π€¦π½ββοΈ by accident. Once we got the river crossing we decided to set up our camp and chill, this was much needed! π our night was interesting had a lightning storm come in and had to readjust a few times π.

Forrest & Streams Above Pecos
There are lots of hikes all around this area. I don't really fish, but the area is rich with fish filled streams. We saw happy fisherman coming back to camp with an abundance of fresh fish.
