Best Equestrian Camping near Aztec, NM

Very sweet camp hosts that provided water. Clean bathrooms and large camp spots. There is horse/cattle stalls if you need. High elevation and lots of shade. Was a little chilly at night in early may. Close to nice climbing off the 550. Also close to above ground hot spring.

What a find in the middle of Durango. Yes it is dusty and really there is nothing cute about it but you can’t beat the location. We had access to the trails by the river. There are only 6 spots with water and 30 or 50 amp electric. It was $28 for a night. Angela at the front desk was super helpful. Must call in advance. On main street turn at 25th street, google will send you to 26th and that is not good. You could park a semi in there. You can’t beat being in Durango for that price.

You can't beat the central location and access to bike trail. Sites back up to the maintenance department and they are in and out on ATVs and bulldozers a lot!!

Basically a gravel lot with electric and water at each of the six slots. Good location close to the center of town. Trolley stop across the street will take you to Main Ave for $1 each way.

Not a spectacular view, but 6 large spots close to the free shuttle, bike path and rec center (totally worth the day pass) . Great for the price to spend a few days in durango or take the scenic train. Angela at the office is great!

Only free place near Durango in the winter. We called and asked the BLM & Forest Service. Easy access, lots of space. Bumpy access road and highway noise.

Getting up there was not possible in my Travato (in my opinion). I've got some Falken Wildpeaks so traction was not so much the issue as the uneven path up.

Fine, especially when nothing else is available and you need a place to stop for a night. USFS access roads weren’t open for the season yet.

Went to Mesa Verde NP looking for a camp sight but refused to pay $40 for a dried grassy area with no hookups so we came just down the road and found this place. Quiet, level spaces, a little road noise but nothing to bark about. Would come back here again

Beautiful well spaced sites with plenty of room to spread out. Sparkling clean bathrooms. Road noise but it’s not so bad at night. Great camp host. Firewood and water. Lots of hiking nearby.

We reserved 6 nites here. Host B is in his 2 nd yr here and is a peach of a guy. All campsites are carefully raked and put in good shape - no ashes left in rings. Host sells .75 sq ft of firewood for $7 / bundle or 3 for $20. Good water hauled in from Durango and available at numerous spigots thruout camp. 2 very clean pit toilet bathroom facilities w/ 2 heads at each.

The campgrounds were clean, well maintained. There wasn’t too much noise and the campsites are reasonably spaced. Potable water available. Composting toilet as well. Stars are fantastic at night.

Wonderful stay the campsite host was great. He had wood for sale the water is spectacular! Vault toliets no showers. Campsites are well spaced out.

Pros: Really nice big camping spots, pit toilets not too far of a walk, firewood available from hosts, convenient location

Cons: first come first served (I think some people missed out even this late in the season), quite a bit of road noise at times due to being next to a big hill on the motorway

We camped here on day 2. We were traveling on motorcycles and chose this based on location, and available water. The we site said it had water. There are other campgrounds in the area. It was almost empty a +, the water was not turned on a- . Campground was clean and quiet and far enough from the highway that only a little traffic noise came threw.
A good number of cars were driving threw, the camphost was very friendly and appologised about the lack of water. She said the cars were people from the highway stopping to use the bathroom. Water would make it a 4*.
I rode down to Mancus to buy water. There was no available water to filter. Mancus is a very small but nice town with a grocery store. Ice cream and 2 gallons of water, then back up the hill.

It’s beautiful, quiet and relaxing. We have enjoyed our stay here. Would stay again.

Bathroom spotless, hot showers, guest laundry. And a pool

Loved loved loved our stay here! Tucked away from the highway and far enough from any big city, you want nature and stars at night? This is the place! We backed up to a huge green field. The gentleman that helped us back our 42 foot rig into our site gave PERFECT directions, telling my husband which was to turn our wheel which make this a first try back in. The owner was the kindest man we enjoyed getting to know. No dog park, but a large open field we're allowed to utilize, letting the pups off leash. They LOVED it! Mesa Verde NP with the cliff dwellings are a short drive away, perfect day trip. We should have stayed here a whole week!

We stopped here on the way to the Grand Canyon and were very pleased. Of note, Waze and google maps do not go to the correct location based on address. They both take you to a private residence. Apple Maps did get us there correctly. The resort is well maintained with plenty of things to do. There’s also a full bar and grill open until 10 that worked out well for us as we were tired from driving all day. I highly recommend.
