FSR 70

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.
