Beautiful Forest 

I loved the place, very comfy and secluded. 

Living in Albuquerque, this has become our long weekend, get-away destination of choice. The CG is relatively small (12 sites) and is typically very quiet. The road and sites are all paved, with a mix of larger spaces (fit our 35 ft. 5th wheel just fine) and smaller tent / pop up trailer size spots. All sites have tent pads. The area provides lots of opportunities to hike or drive the many forest roads that are nearby. If you enjoy exploring in an atv/utv the forest roads range from well maintained to pretty rough. There is a fresh water hand pump and two vault toilets. Cellular connectivity is nonexistent. 

Wonderful campground 

This campground has roomy camp sites and all are well groomed. Camp host is present during open season. Sites were $10 per day and are reservable.  Fire rings are in each site. Pets are allowed. There is good hiking areas to take you to many canyons and none of the trails are very steep.
