"Right off the road, literally. it hidden behind some trees so the barrier between the site and road makes for a little privacy. Great spot for a day or two right next to a creek so you fall asleep to"

GuideStumbled on this location by chance when another location nearby was closed. Long forest road with approximately 8-10 dispersed campsites along the road. All sites seemed decently big with most having river access. Our site had a fire pit and was away from the road, which is a plus. My boyfriend was able to fish along the river at our site while I stayed in the hammock- super nice. Even though we were right next to the water, there were less bugs than anticipated. Downside was that the forest road was pretty busy during the day and there was some trash left behind from previous campers. Good location and only 20 or so minutes from town.
ScoutThe map location and coordinates are not correct. I was unable to find the spot. Likely supposed to be north of listed location. See dispersed sites just north.
ScoutIts a very beautiful area, too bad you come to nature and enjoy and the stoopid humans have to ruin with there disrespect and zero manners, rangers walked right up to my van, invading my privacy, people park so close to you, you cant enjoy privacy or mother nature Like I SHOULD be able to!!! good riddance nm, ive given you 35 yrs and THIS is what i get!
RangerI loved my stay here. This location is so prime for visiting all the sights in Taos, and there are many. The campground is compact but still, private. There are several pull-thru sites for big rigs, many back-in sites with water/elec. hookups, and some tent sites in the back of the campground and a few sites at the front by the office that are back-in without any amenities.
There is a dump station, a dishwashing area, bathrooms with very hot showers, a playground, and office. No open fires are allowed only propane or other contained fires. Cell phone service and wifi thru the campground is available tho not fast when everyone jumps on at the same time. During my stay everyone was very quiet. My only complaint was a light that stayed on all night for security.
Restaurants are really close enough to walk to and there is an Ace Hardware store across the street for emergency repairs. Old Town Taos is 3 miles away.
ScoutAccess is easy. There are 4-5 improved campsites with vault toilets. Lots of UTV traffic when I was there which made it dusty. Most sites were on or very near the river. It’s a long way back there and if it’s full you don’t have many other options. That’s why 3 stars.
Ok for small campers but I wouldn’t take anything too big as the spaces are small and it is very tight to maneuver. Also there is a mix of public and private land along this road so be sure where exactly you are.
ScoutFlat room for many rigs. Dispersed camping just past the “pay campground”. 2 bars t-mobiles
GuideGood spot to camp for the night.
GuideEarly May. Got caught up in a spring snowstorm of several feet. Tent was buried two nights running. The site is worth the wait . . . No services, running crick throughout. Widely spaced sites. Stunning canyon forest with beautiful open areas, an easy walk forest road, more difficult hikes if you’re willing. Stayed 2 weeks as our journey continues . . .
GuideLittle bumpy coming in but not bad. Really pretty getting here. Site is flat ish and fine for what it is.
