Bosque Dispersed Campground

This free Forest Service campground requires 4x4 access via a primitive road that demands careful navigation. Bosque Dispersed Campground provides four picnic tables, fire pits, and a vault toilet, plus bear-proof trash cans and three horse corrals for equestrian visitors. The site connects to Trail #174 for hiking opportunities. Fall brings increased usage as the trees display seasonal colors, though the campground typically sees light use throughout the year. No pets are permitted on the grounds. The challenging road access keeps crowds manageable while camping spots near Cibola National Forest offer alternatives for those seeking easier entry routes.

Visitors appreciated the secluded setting and well-maintained facilities including picnic tables, fire pits, and vault toilet. Access requires 4WD due to primitive road conditions, though many find it worth the effort for the peaceful atmosphere and fall colors.

1.5 Hrs from Albuquerque - Nice spot!

We often camp here when we just need a quick getaway from the city. It is well maintained (4 picnic tables, 4 fire pits, 1 vaulted toilet, 2 sets of bear proof trash cans, and 3 horse corrals) and usage is fairly light - except in the Fall (the trees put on quite a show). The road in/out is NO JOKE - primitive for sure and requires 4x4. There is a nice trail as well (Trail #174).
