Santa Fe National Forest manages FSR 70, a free dispersed camping area set in forested terrain near creek and river drainages outside Cuba, New Mexico. No developed facilities exist here beyond the basics: campfires are permitted and pets are welcome. San Gregorio Reservoir Area sits just 0.4 miles north, giving campers a nearby reference point. Drive-in access keeps the site reachable without specialized equipment, and the wooded, water-adjacent setting makes it worth a look for those who want a no-cost base in the national forest.
Description
The Santa Fe National Forest offers beautiful camping areas that range from low to high elevation, high desert to forested and primitive to developed. Developed campgrounds offer ammenties ranging from electrical hookups for RV or trailer camping, to only a toilet.
Primitive camping is allowed almost anywhere on the Santa Fe National Forest unless otherwise posted. These areas generally do not offer any ammenities although ocassionally you will find a toilet building or a picnic table and grill. Please keep your campsite at least 100 feet from streams and lakes to help keep the riparian area (the river banks or area next to the body of water) healthy and protect sensitive animals and plants found here. For more information on riparian area restoration and impacts see the Respect the Rio site.
