    Sapillo Dispersed Camping Area

    Peaceful Park

    This park is nestled about 2 miles off the mail road. The road is graveled but easy for big rigs. There are hiking trails close by and tons of ATV trails for the off road enthusiast. It is cooler here so it was a nice respite from the heat of the desert. Trees provide shade no matter which spot you choose. Spots are level with fire pits and tables. They also have garbage bins, bathrooms and spots are fairly level. No cell service here and the Forrest service has gone through and cleaned up from a fire and there are stacks of firewood everywhere so no need to bring your own.
    It is worth staying just to see the beauty of the night sky!

    Alpine Divide Campground

    Camp amid tall ponderosa pines

    Wooded wonderland. Fire rings, picnic tables, potable water access and toilets. Elk were bugling at dusk! Large pull in spots fit our 36' class A with slide out just fine. Downside is that it's just off 191 so road noise until 9pm and as of 7am, but not bad.

    Coronado Trail RV Park 55+

    Quiet Adult Oriented CG In The Pines

    We spent 8-nights here (June 7-15, 2022). CTRV is a quiet, adult oriented, RV park in the pines of Alpine. This is a very nice, easy access CG with level back-in gravel sites. It is a great base camp to visit the area. There are plenty local attractions: lakes, rivers and streams, wilderness and national forests. Activities include: fishing, biking (wish I brought my mtn bike), hiking/walking and ATV trails. The elk herds out number the cattle– a morning and evening spectacle! We did not make use of the laundry, bathrooms or showers. The WiFi was good as was cell phone reception (we lost both for 2-1/2 days due to a fiber optic cable break near Show Low/Springerville).

    The owners, Sherrie and Paul, are awesome! We would definitely stay here again.

    (Side note: Coronado Trails Cabins is NOT affiliated with CTRV)

    Apache Creek Campground

    Perfect secluded free stopover

    Lovely area in western NM. Many spaces to set up and hunker down for a night or two. The general lack of amenities probably precludes a long term stay for most. Access to the rest of the forest and great hiking on a dirt road headed south. Lower elevation than other areas nearby so it stays snow free through the winter for the most part. 

    The general store nearby is also a nice plus. No T-Mobile cell service anywhere in the area though.

    Mesa Campground

    Camp on the Lake in New Mexico

    Okay so not right on the lake but you can hike down and the view is amazing from up above. The campground has sites on the outside of the road that are dry camping while the inside of the campground has electric and water hookups. The road is easy and big rig friendly. There are bathrooms, fire rings, tables, and garbage bins. The back part of the campground has sites that overlook the lake. There is a trial that takes you down to the lake. There is even a site that is ADA. The sites are level and the camp is very clean. Great spot for viewing night sky!

    Coal Creek Campground

    Not too secluded

    This campground is a little unclear the sign on the road before the campground just shows a picnic table but once you are into the spot it does have the 14 day limit sign. It is right on the road and the road isn’t too busy but the noise is there. The spot has a pit toilet, fire rings and barbecues. The site are not marked so not sure how many there are. There is no cell coverage here but the trees give plenty of shade to beat the desert heat! If you travel east just before the site there was a huge area where people were camping. It was much easier to access for big rigs but has no toilet, fire rings, tables or barbecues. These campers all had their side by sides out since the area has a lot of trails to access. The spot is cooler at night but perfect temperature during the day for family activities outside. Be sure to bring the bug spray!!

    Black Jack Campground

    Happy Little Trees!

    So google tells you to drive with confidence if you venture up highway 78. You really can believe what you read on the internet! It is a very steep, narrow and windy road. However the fear will soon be replaced with amazement when you reach Black Jack at the top of the mountain. This camp ground is great. It is big rig friendly and right off the road. When you arrive there are 2 larger group spot right away. They have fire rings, barbecues and picnic tables. Then you can go left or right. Left will take you back to a treed area without tables, pits or barbecues. It not clear if you can camp here but it is part of the park. Most likely an overflow area. If you go right this is where you will find more camp sites with tables, fire rings and barbecues. There also 2 pit towels down this road. There are no visible numbers marking the spots. So we ended up taking a spot without a table, fire ring or barbecue. The spots are not level so bring your blocks or sleep on the at a slant. The trees offer shade at all the sites but there was a sign telling visitors that wind could blow them over and be aware. This place also has access to a trail. We walked it but it was wide enough for an ATV and recent tracks looked like someone rode on it. Looks like the trail goes about 4 miles. You can also go about 2 1/2 miles to Martinez road and that offers tons of riding as well. If you go past the last pit toilet there is at least one spot to camp and go a little farther you will have experience a view of the whole valley! Definitely recommend especially if you need respite from the desert heat! No cell coverage here!
