Bert Clancy Campground — Pecos Canyon State Park

2 ReviewsAdd Review

Bert Clancy Campground sits within Pecos Canyon State Park along the Pecos River, managed by New Mexico State Parks and accessible by drive-in vehicle up to 50 feet. Sites are arranged side by side with no separation between neighbors, functioning more like a paved lot than a traditional campground. Full hookups (electric, water, sewer) are available at $15 per night. Summer weekends draw heavy traffic along Highway 63, and crowding is a consistent concern. Campers who plan to spend most of their time on the river or elsewhere during the day will get more out of the setup than those expecting privacy. Holy Ghost Campground, about 2.8 miles northwest, is worth considering for a more conventional site layout.

A parking lot with scenery

It's an odd campsite, with side by side parking spots. Doesn't really feel like camping. Could be good if you plan on being away from the sleep sight most of the day but otherwise it just feels like hanging out in a parking lot with pretty scenery.

Depends on what you want from a "campsite"

There are about 10 (couldn't tell exactly due to the number of cars, campers, and tents) sites all lined up next to each other like parking spots in a Walmart parking lot. There's nothing that separates you from your neighbor. And, there's a rundown house with what appears to be 3 or 4 abandoned cars (at least they certainly do not look like they'd run) less than 100 yards to the south of the 'campground'.  I can see why this is a popular spot, as it is right along the river, but there's no way I would ever camp there. That said, we went (or tried to, we didn't actually stay there) in late July, in the height of summer, so there were a TON people, cars, and campers all going up and down Highway 63 from Pecos. If the weather is nice, just know there will be a lot, and it ends up being more like a party private campground than a small, national forest environment. But regardless, unless it's the middle of winter, which may guarantee we wouldn't have someone else camping 12 feet from us, it's a hard pass for us on this one.
