Best Dispersed Camping near Coyote, NM

A lot of dispersed camping areas don't have toilets, but this one does.

Lots of first come first served campsites along the little creek. Not much privacy when it's busier (warmer months).

Good base camp for some of the best hiking around Ruidoso (Big Bonito Trail, Argentina Trail, etc.)

Be prepared for lots of dust with the dirt road uphill from sites.

In the summer there are horse riding camps set up to provide trail rides.

Can get snowed in in the Winter months.

It was late November and cold so I stayed where I had electric service. But I rode my bike all over the place and there's dispersed camping everywhere. Good cell phone service. I plan on staying for a full week and working from here. Lots of things to see and do close Ruidoso is interesting Lincoln is interesting. Probably not the place to stay in high summer but otherwise really great location.

Went to this area to camp and pan for gold. Creek near by that didn't have much water in it. But over all pretty (Dry) Area.

It’s a nice area to spend with another person and even with kids, restrooms are clean, there’s some privacy if you find s good spot, could be busy during the weekend, but it’s worth visiting

We had a great night drove through the entire area and off roads to find a nice quiet area we had our son and two big doggos and had plenty of space for them to roam. Lots of trails nearby and the lake of course!

Easy to find and not a rough drive. I saw several dirt pull offs surrounded by trees before parking. This was a very private remote area in the forest. It was a nice change of pace from the desert that surrounds the Forrest! Although I did not see anything, there were signs of wildlife everywhere. I got 1-2 bars of cell service here. Would spend multiple nights in this spot!
