Best Campgrounds near Newcomb, NM

We generally stay off-grid but this no-frills offering is perfect for resupply. Full hookups for $40 night after senior discount.

We were here in early February We had the place all most to ourselves. Water was still off :( . Be aware there are thorny Goat heads all over our dog had a tough time.I am sure the trees are wonderful in the summer.

We stayed two nights while visiting the Canyon de Chelly NM. Quiet-there was one other camper each night that came in after dark. Restrooms were clean. Water refill station was closed for the winter.

Plenty of spaces and happy to get one with shade on my camper. $20, no pass discounts. Reasonably clean, fairly quiet. No complaints

This is a great central location to both the north and south canyon road. Self pay at the entrance, $20 a night no services. The park was quiet, well treed and clean. A number of bathrooms, older but clean and well stocked. Lots of garbage pails. Dump station easy to access with working black tank sprayer. Park was 1/3 full by the evening.

Juste pour vous partager ma mésaventure(Mieux vautêtre averti pouréviter les mêmes erreurs;)) 2 points importants: 1- L'indien Howard Smith(qui ne ressemble plusà la photo de son site depuis de nombreuses années) n'accepte les paiements que sur place en cash- Donc si vousêtes contacter avant, ce sont des pirates! Il est au courant, cela lui arrive régulièrement, mais il considère que c'est pas de sa faute, surtout qu'on est européens, et que les pirates sont tous desétrangers... 2- Hogan- C'est une aventure en soit unique. Mais si je ne pensais pas avoir payer d'avance, j'aurais fait demi-tour. Un lit de camps, une petite planche sur des parpaings avec un matelas qui dépasse... Rien de bon pour passer une bonne nuit en soit! J'ai regretté de ne pas dormir dans ma tente au final. Sachant qu'onétait 6 et qu'on l'avait dit, On peut dormirà l'aise sur ces matelas tachéà 3, pas plus... Les toilettes sont des toilettes de camping car. Le camping en lui même est idéalement situés et les camping car sont donc surement content du séjour.

Beautiful grove of trees. Maintenance people apparently not allowed to clean up bugs in bathrooms. Floodlights at night a bit bright.

Free BLM campground. Modern and well kept. Only a few others there the night we stayed so it was quiet and peaceful

We came on a Sunday in July and there were only 2 other campers there. Very quiet, the only thing missing was electric outlets that only worked in 1 of the 3 restrooms, but that wasn’t an issue. Great place to camp if you plan to visit canyon de Chelly

This place is such a gem. We arrived late at night with a 39 foot toy hauler. No problem backing up in spot #1. Beautiful stars, complete silence after the last OHV left around 10 pm. All we had to do was filling a permit online and email it to BLM. We woke up to the magnificent high desert. The spots are spacious and clean with a fire pit and a table on a concrete slab. You are not right on your neighbor. The bathrooms are clean and accessible. Spot #10 is ADA compliant and very spacious. It is probably a 3 miles drive on a dirt road. 4 wheel drive not required. Only 3 spot were occupied when we pulled up. There is a trail right out of the campground. Best of all - absolutely FREE.

We trully enjoyed our stay. Close to the sights. The campground is a little rough along the edges but the sites are great. There is a great hiking trail that starts at the campground and goes to the canyon. Howard the owner is very friendly and a wealth of information.

Warning if it is raining or has been raining it WILL be muddy and quickly becomes impassable.

Now that we got that out of the way this site is absolutely gorgeous! Most of the drive to the site is a dirt road a bit bumpy but so worth the amazing peaceful camp area. The grounds are very well-kept

Near the entrance to Canyon de Chelly Nat'l. Monument, it was ablaze with fall colors. Nice toilet facilities and spacious sites fairly far apart. No hook-ups so I couldn't give it 5 stars, but even then it was within walking distance to a restaurant at a quaint lodge.

This was our first boondocking experience and we were very pleased. The area was beautiful with lots of OHV trails. We had a few spots to choose from and all were spaced out nicely. There was a clean vault toilet. We camped in our bronco but there was plenty of room for trailers. All sites had a covered picnic table and fire ring.

RV spot that has tent sites. They gave us an RV site because the tent sites were full. Maybe a little pricey but we were running out of daylight - the staff were really nice and the park is quiet even though it's near a main road. Bathrooms were nice!
