NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING RESERVATIONS On February 2, 1912, Aldo Leopold (18871948) wrote to his fianc__e, Estella Berg__re, in Santa Fe that the Forest Service had appropriated $650 to build a new supervisors quarters he had designed at Tres Piedras, New Mexico, northwest of Taos. At the time, Leopold was about to become the new Forest Supervisor of the Carson National Forest in Tres Piedras. Later that year, he built the house, which the newly married couple decided to call Mi Casita. Leopold was transferred to Tres Piedras from the Apache National Forest in Arizona in 1911. It was here that he started to formulate his land ethic that would find its way into his classic, Sand County Almanac. He started to see land holistically and to recognize that this perspective was essential to its wise management. Today we call this ecosystem management. Aldo Leopold is considered by many to be the father of wildlife ecology. The Aldo Leopold House offers exceptional three-season access and opportunities in this historic home only hr. west of Taos, New Mexico. The home is a Craftsman Style Bungalow and was restored by Historicorps and the Carson NF in 2005. This full-amenity house accommodates up to 8 people: two queen beds and 6 twins. Guests are responsible for their own safety and certain necessities (see below). The house is located in a rural area of Northern New Mexico. There is very limited cell phone service and the nearest gas station is located in Antonito, Colorado. (30 miles north)
The cabin is adjacent to one of the Tres Piedras (three rocks, aka the TP Rocks), which are composed of excellent granite and offer great non-technical hiking and scrambling opportunities as well as difficult technical climbing routes. One can access the Carson NF directly behind the house. The Aldo Leopold Trail can be accessed proximate the Tres Piedras RD just to the north off Hwy 64. Surrounded by pine trees, a stay at the Aldo Leopold House will take you back to a simpler time.
The Leopold house is approximately 1300 Sq. Ft. There is a dining room with a large table and chairs. The home has four bedrooms with beds for up to 8 people. The house has a fully equipped kitchen, and a large covered front porch, and a back porch with a picnic table. There is a gas range, oven, microwave, fully equipped kitchen, indoor plumbing, flush toilet, and claw foot bathtub/shower. There is only one bathroom in the home. The fireplace is not for use. Parking is available on site and can accommodate approximately 8 vehicles. No RVs or tent camping is allowed. Guests will need to provide sleeping bags/linens, towels, toilet paper, paper towels, coffee, hand soap, and dish soap, etc. This is a non-smoking facility.
The cabin was built in the shadow of one the TP Rocks and the front porch faces eastward across the great sage plain and the Rio Grande Gorge toward Wheeler Peak (New Mexicos highest) and the Sangre de Christo Range.
For facility specific information, please call (575) 779-1895.
The Leopold House is located on the Tres Piedras Ranger District office compound. From the house visitors have access to a variety of activities on the forest. Hopewell Lake campground and day use area is approximately 30 miles from the house (north on Hwy 64) and offers opportunities for fishing, hiking on the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, or exploring many roads in the San Juan Mountains. The Cruces Basin wilderness is approximately 25 miles west of the house and has amazing opportunities for solitude. The town of Taos is 30 miles to the east. Taos Pueblo National Heritage site is located a few miles north of the Town of Taos. Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs is located 60 miles south of the house. Between the house and the Town of Taos lies the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. There are opportunities to ride the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad, riders can board the train in Chama NM or Antonito CO.

We stayed at this site on the way back to Texas from our Colorado trip this summer. This is a great National Forest Campground south of Taos in the Carson Forest. The campground is just off the highway and situated in a beautiful mountain pine forest and next to a great trout stream. You have great shade during the hotter summer months. It’s far enough away from the highway that you don’t hear the traffic. It has a huge meadow and group camp site which look fantastic. The individual sites have some privacy between the sites and come equipped with fire pits and picnic tables. We made a reservation but the camp had a number of open sites in the peak summer season. The highlight here is the proximity of great hiking to nearby lakes and fishing in the trout stream. They had great facilities including clean pit toilets and some historic log cabins. They have a camp host and the sites accommodate tents and smaller vans and campers. I would give this another visit on our next trip to NM.

4k River Ranch is the best campground in Red River. They've got RV sites, apartments, cabins and a beautiful penthouse in the center of town overlooking the town and mountain. The Red River runs through the park, so you can fish in it or in the stocked private pond. The have 50amp & 30amp sites. Pull-thrus, back-ins & buddy sites. WiFi is good for checking emails and browsing websites. Very nice bathrooms with showers plus a laundry room. The staff is fantastic and they've got a really nice new office/store. They're building new cabins along the Red River plus a new pavilion for family gatherings along with a playground for the kids.
GuideThis is the best rv park in Red River. The river runs right through the park. There is a trout pond, playground, pavilion with live music on most Fridays during the summer and they also have condos and cabins. The staff is so helpful and friendly. If you want to get out of the heat of the summer this is the place to be. Red River is 8,750’ above sea level in the mountains. Daytime temp is in the 70°s and nights are in the 50°s all summer long.

Beautiful well maintained campgrounds. On the Red River. Easy in and easy out. Probably one of the best in New Mexico.
Guide
I had been boondocking up in the mountains in the rain all week and needed FHU to recharge.
Can't remember the price I paid, but it was very reasonable. Minutes from state park, lake access, and Eagle Nest. Close to Angel Fire as well.
Owner was super nice and invited me to come to the clubhouse for some chili - which was excellent!
Views were shockingly good. Because of the weather I felt like I was in the Scottish highlands or something, not New Mexico lol.
Could use this as a stopover or a legit home base to explore surrounding areas.
TravelerGreat spot for group camping of 20-40 campers. Nice shaded/wooded area for primitive tent camping with plenty of space to spread out. Gorgeous open meadow at base of camp area perfect for group games, sports. 1930s cabin with tables for meals and cooking under shelter. Campfire ring and outdoor table. Vault toilet. Beautiful views of Sangre de Cristos and Carson National Forest. Trail to Indian Lake is an easy hike of 2.5 Miles each way and perfect for families or hikers with the need for low-impact trails. There is an awesome swimming hole just a few miles west on Hwy 518 past Sipapu Ski & Summer Resort—worth the short drive!
Only a few cons—water onsite is listed as potable but smells and tastes so strongly of sulphur that it cannot be tolerated for drinking or cooking. Make sure to haul in water. Also tent camping area in woods is not level so there will be some incline. Important for those with circulatory issues.

Stayed for 3 nights. Awesome experience. Campground is rustic. Water and electric only. They do have a dump station but it is an extra cost. Sites were small and some hookups are in strange places. Our site #2 was shaded but hookups were at front of site and on wrong side so make sure you have enough power cord and hose. Campground does have a small bathroom and vintage rental trailers. You still have to pay for entry to springs but you get a discount for being in campground. The hot springs are amazing and you can leave and come back. Open till 10 pm which was great and we showered in the great locker rooms at the springs area before going back to camp. There is a great restaurant on site as well as beer and wine.
Traveler
Nice park nestled at the foot of the mountains and on the banks of the Red River. Nicely landscaped with two ponds and a river walk. Location is great for visiting Rio Grande del Norte NM and the Wild Rivers Recreation Area. Just north of Taos too. Nicely shaded, level sites with full hookups. Nice picnic table and grill. Might be a little tight for big rigs, but my little Casita was quite happy. Very friendly folks in the office. Clean laundry and restroom. My site backed up to the river and the sound of the rushing water was the perfect lullaby.
RangerStayed in spot R1 which is pretty small/crowded in, but near river and trees. Lovely duck and geese ponds and river walk, also dog park. Clean restrooms and showers but no changing stalls in either mens/womens shower. Very quiet and affordable. Near to grocery. Grounds are well-kept and healthy & green (lots of trees, shrubs, beautiful walk by river). Sorry pics are a bit washed out, doesn't do it justice.
RangerThis camp ground has been a beautiful place for us to stay. My wife and I came for a weeks stay. We stayed in spot #59 which puts you along the river that is running through the property. The sound is so peaceful. The camp ground also has it's own stocked pond. Guest are aloud to fish for two fish per day for each guest in your party. Wifi has been pretty good and no problem with cell service (we have Verizon)
RangerThis place is in a prime location. The view was 5 out of 5. The cleanliness is 2 out of 5. We didn’t have any cell service. The shower was lukewarm.
GuideWe enjoyed our stay. It was very clean and gorgeous Mountain Views. The showers were clean and they did have laundry facilities. We enjoyed the small play area and the stream.
Scout
Great views surrounded by mountains...right on the red river. Minutes away from town and skiing.... Level spots host are amazing, super helpful and attentive. Wifi was pretty decent, showers and laundry were really good as well. Will definitely come back in spring for a different view...
GuideThis is a cute place with a small river running through it along with a trout pond. Full hooks ups, bathrooms were a little smelly. The owners were really cool and found a place for us in a pinch. I will warn you that it's really noisy , so if your looking for peace and quit look elsewhere. The town of Red River is very cool.
TravelerThis is our second stay at the River RV. Our camp is right next to the river, there is a shuttle that takes you into town, the facilities are clean and close by, and the fishing is great.
TravelerThis was nice well maintained rv Park. Really nice sites if you can get on the river. The owners were very nice and really seemed to care about guests and maintaining the park. Kids had a lot fun playing in creek and park very close to Red River, NM so there is a lot todo. In town at ski resort.
GuideWe stayed here for 10 days during the “off season” at the end of April. It was beautiful and quiet. The snow was melting and the river was beautiful. George and Chris very friendly and helpful. The showers and laundry were clean and beautiful. And the town was a short walk away with great restaurants. Can’t wait to come back.
GuideSimply amazing camp ground. The owner, George, was in the lot and guided us into our spot. #8 backed up to the river with a small grassy area right by the water. It was perfect. The scenery is beyond amazing. One of my favorite experiences so far in our RV travels. I cannot say enough about this facility. You will feel the same.
TravelerBeautiful setting along the Red River. Spacious sites and all of the amenities. Friendly staff.
GuideThis park was a great choice. Tucked in a canyon with a stream running through it, we secured a spot on the water. Large pine trees, tiered spots, walking distance to the cute town of Red River.
Small gift shop with very few items, no firewood for sale that I could see. Friendly staff, dog park, fishing, deer come in every night
GuideThe paces are spread apart and many line the creek that runs through it. The park is tiered so some RVs were up in the taller trees. We loved this place, it's not far from town but fills like it's deep in nature. Red River is an adorable town to boot.
We had great Wi-Fi as well. Couldn't have asked for more.
ScoutWe have been coming here for 20+ years. Love roadrunner,so relaxing and fun,the river is beautiful and sounds amazing.
TravelerStayed here for a weekend, this place is tucked away and quiet. Spots are well spaced and grass all around. The river runs through the park.
They have the park devided up well with space for even the bigger rv's they have a nice fenced dog park to let your dogs run free for a bit. Full hook ups shade trees and a fare amount of spots that back right up to the river, wifi throughout the park that is spotty at best and after one week they do charge for it Verizon was 4G the whole time.
Staff is super friendly and helpful, they have wood to purchase for fires but it is not covered and feels fresh cut so its not dried you will more than likely smoke out the camp site it's also 10.00 for a bundle which is pricey, but they deliver it to your camp. The gate coming into the park is tight so when the gentleman says make a lazy turn he means a REAL lazy turn. Would definatly come back here again
TravelerThis is a great campground for your adventures in the Red River and surrounding areas. A lot of people have ATVs here so there must be trails nearby. I’m working on this trip and I have 4 bars for AT&T. Not trouble connecting and staying connected with my hotspot. Sites are tight, but that’s just the way these days. Sites by the river are best but none are bad. The map on the website isn’t quite to scale so if you are looking for something in particular, it’s best to call the office. Staff is friendly and helpful.
GuideSome camp sites are very large and only for 18 and over, super nice, and next to big trails. Some camp sites are incredible tight and congested. There are lots of trails, fishing, and side-by-side action.
Dog friendly, but lots of dogs.
Staff is accommodating and you can trail walk, street walk, and free shuttle into town.
Traveler
This is your quintessential mom n pop RV stop in all the right ways. Owners are super helpful in guiding us to our site (which is necessary as there are some spots that are a tight squeeze). They have a great restaurant attached that we utilized for breakfast. They have live music on Friday and Saturday nights, and a farmers market that set up on property on Wednesday if i remember correctly. A lot of full time residents and everyone was so lovely and helpful. Eagle Nest Lake is literally across the road and a wonderful trail to walk or bike. We definitely will stay here anytime we are back in the area.
TravelerGood price for the experience. 25$ for a tent and 2 people. 5$ charge for each additional person.
The view is superb. Camping sites are a little close but not a problem. My only complaint is the bathroom. Disgusting Lol. But absolutely a must stop place to camp.
