Getting here takes some effort. Manzano Mountains Camp sits well off main roads within Cibola National Forest, and the drive reflects that. The site is free and dispersed, set among Ponderosa pines, oak, and juniper scrub, with downed wood available for campfires. Both reviewers note the area gets muddy after rain, worth keeping in mind when planning arrival. Big rigs can access the area, and cell service is available. Manzano Mountains State Park Campground is roughly two miles southeast for campers who want a more developed setup.
