GuideIt’s bitter sweet - out camping in what was a devastating fire so hot i see burnt stumps but also witnessing the forrest coming back and healing. No longer charred and black, but shrubs have moved in and groves of Aspen are crawling back up and some pines survived to prove shade on some of the turnoffs. Definitely recommend clearance 4wd. It was muddy and rocky after some rains. Spots closer to road are available to cars but i drove back until i didn’t want to cross a mud pit and found a grove of trees to call home while I explore. The speed test of reported on here was starlink, no mobile device.
GuideWe stayed a few nights, it was a good time I would recommend good shoes as we both got poked by thorns. We have 4 wheel drive so it was nice I do not think cars could make it as some of the roads have huge canyon sized holes due to previous rain.
ScoutPros. went on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of July. Absolute solitude. saw someone else the afternoon of the forth, off in the distance, but it was empty and the view was fantastic. you will pass some logging that has happened at some point, but go beyond that. the view from the ridge is incredible. Cons. if it has rained the access is washed out and mud holes and ruts and mud will require a 4x4. access to the spots we were at were up a short steep ridge, again glad for the 4x4. ground clearance is a must. do not pull to the right, short road that will take you to the bottom of the restroom overlook off the main road. went to the left at first and did not find any good spots but had fun in the mud, the best spots are to the center, on the right hand side. you cant see them from the trial, you only see small trails going up. my opinion is just past the logging then to your right. perfect trees to camp and hang your hammock. cant wait to go back. Also, its going to get colder than you think at night. bring a fleece or warm jacket at the least.
TravelerFound a great spot here, stayed a week and it’s like we had the whole place to ourselves. If you go left from the entrance, be prepared for a rough ride. I would say tent camping only. Go right and there are plenty of spaces to choose from. Los Alamos is only 15 minutes away.
TravelerThis was such a serene spot to camp for the night. Quiet & peaceful with beautiful views of the mountains, sunset & sunrise. Wild horses roamed around our site after sunset. Pretty epic.
GuideWell kept quiet Famcamp
TravelerWe’ve had a great time at the campground. The sunsets are amazing! Full hook ups, clean campground, laundry, dog park, walking trail that goes around campground Sites are a little close but they have a nice concrete patio with table and chairs. Friendly staff! Would definitely come back!
GuideThis area is in the Santa Fe National Forest and is managed by the Cuba, NM ranger district. It is widely disbursed with lots of shaded and sunny areas. It is fully primitive so come prepared. The nearest water would be at the Rio de Las Vacas or San Antonio campgrounds on hwy 126. We have camped here dozens of times and it never disappoints. There are 50 or more established sites with primitive fire rings near the junction of FR 103 and FR 69. A bit of exploration will uncover so many more great sites.
GuideWe had car trouble is Sedona and didn’t arrive until after midnight. Their check in system was so easy, the camp sites are surrounded by trees, flowers and cute signs everywhere, clear separation of tents and RVs. Cabin has power, wi-fi and a fridge! Highly Recommend.
