      Capilla Peak Campground

      Gorgeous View

      Got site number 6, which has the best view to the SE. The site has a tent shelter which was much needed for the high winds experienced at night. The pit toilet was clean. The deer were abundant. A hiking trail was close. And the views were fantastic.

      Red Canyon Campground

      Come early

      I’ve been here a couple times. The site itself is in a really nice area with lots of pine trees and direct trail access. The only issue is it seems a lot of people who come here don’t know camp etiquette and leave the sites completely trashed. Fire pits buried and unusable, beer cans and trash everywhere. I’d recommend going before Memorial Day while the sites are still clean

      Capilla Peak Campground

      Choice campground on a sketchy one-lane mountain road

      The trip to Capilla Peak camp is not for the faint of heart.  You'll be traveling on a one-lane gravel and dirt track to 9200 feet above MSL, but once you get there, it's worth the journey.  On a weeknight in August I had the entire campground to myself.

      A couple of the eight sites have wooden awnings which are great on windy days.  There is also a pavilion for group gatherings.  All of the sites have fire rings and picnic tables.  There isn't a place to park a trailer in the camp itself, but there are spots at the top of the driveway.  I wouldn't bring a trailer up here anyway.

      Easy access to the Crest Trail and the hike to Osha Peak is an easy two miles.  Past Osha Peak you enter a pretty nasty burn scar and the trail becomes harder to follow.  Hardly any people but tons of deer to keep you company!

      Nice Campground, loud nighttime visitors

      There are vault toilets, trash bins, and bear boxes. This campground is nice with sites for RV and tent camping. We camped here one night with our scout troop. I did have spotty T-Mobile service, others had phone service as well but I’m not sure of their provider. We had a great night with a campfire and a good view of the stars and moon. All was well until someone started illegally cutting down trees at 2 in the morning. After an annoying couple of hours they were gone, most of our group were wide awake and tried to go back to sleep. We stayed at the site till afternoon with no other problems, just a group of tired scouts.

      Relaxing weekend getaway

      Came recommended by a friend. Beautiful secluded spot in the Manzanos. Nice kid-friendly trails adjacent to the campground. We had a nice shady site, some others seemed more exposed.

      Red Canyon Campground

      Nice location

      This is not the state park campground. This is the NFS campground in beautiful setting. No reservation required. Right next to trailheads. Great Mountain biking on forest roads that link canyons. Toilets but no water so come prepared.

      Red Canyon Campground

      Great place in the woods

      Great camp with most hook ups. They don't have sewer but they do have a dump station. Mostly back in spaces so pay attention what side your door is on and opens to. Very nice place. Good water pressure. Great TV reception from Alb, NM TV stations. Lot of radio stations too.

      Capilla Peak Campground

      Much busier than I would have thought for how rough it was

      Pretty open sites (less than a dozen) which are on some pretty rough desert/mountain terrain.

      There are some nice shaded picnic shelters, but no water...there are vault toilets (a bit smelly and hot)

      Cobola national forest has a ton of awesome trails and you're not too far from Albequerque
