Within Cibola National Forest, Morine Canyon Camp provides dispersed camping access for visitors exploring this section of west-central New Mexico. The US Forest Service manages this drive-in site, which sits roughly 18 miles northwest of the small community of Datil.
Campers can access several established campgrounds in the area, including Monica Spring Camp about 8 miles to the east. The dispersed nature means no amenities or designated sites, requiring self-sufficient camping preparation and Leave No Trace practices.
