"It wouldn't bother us so much if there weren't STATE mandated orders about groups and wearing masks, but majority of these people do not follow these New Mexico rules. "
"Each site has more than expected space and offset to adjacent sites. Camp Host are doing an excellent job."
"Much more vegetation than you would expect from a campground close to town. The staff are friendly. The facilities were clean. The park is older but in an charming New Mexico way."
"If your wanting to get out and play in the snow or explore more in depth the beautiful culture of New Mexico, Taos has a little for everyone"
"The river was very high and actually flooded close to a couple campsites but there were enough that we were away from it."
"All sites sit have excellent access to the Red River. The vault bathrooms were adequate. Each site I saw had multiple tent options."

"Eagles Nest is about 19 miles west of Taos near the Carson National Forest. The campground is on the west side of a beautiful lake I the town of Eagles Nest."

"This is a wonderful little campground on the way to Taos Ski Valley. Sites are right on a creek & have picnic tables."
"Very solid location, there are several spots along the Highway. There are multiple camp sites within each pull off, but they are close together so not a whole lot of privacy."
$15 / night
"Some of the sites are immediately adjacent to the river. My favorite campground is Tolby, the Westernmost. It has a Ranger/Information Station in the east end of the campground."
"This campsite sits on the edge of a road next to two little ponds that are great for trout fishing. The river runs next to the ponds and you can find a few fish there too."
"Probably one of the best in New Mexico."
"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."
"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"
"Great hikes nearby & close to Arroyo Seco for a good market too."
"Plenty of shade and lots of off road trails for driving/running/biking. No water. clean bathrooms (with toilet paper!!) only 30 mins or so from Taos."
"Pulled in around 4pm on a Saturday and only 1 other camper was here. A few vehicles were parked at the bathroom/trailhead, super friendly."
TravelerEverything was great here. Paulie went out of his way to make my stay comfortable and pleasant. Great guy to talk with.
Thank you.
TravelerBeautiful area with no visible burn scars such as exist nearby. Many trees, nice views of mountains. Lots of spots, some with electric, many without. Many are designated 18 feet and under. Ours (T-4) would fit 35 feet, had lots of shade on a 80• October day. Small clean creek. Great places to walk all around. Water only available April to October 1. Back 2/3 of campground and RV DUMP also closed and gated off during cooler months. We were (luckily) advised on arrival by neighbors that the rangers are zealous about ticketing for any dog off leash, so we were extra careful and had no interactions at all. Referring to another review, there was no host at the time of our visit, but one of our neighbors regularly hosts here and didn't remind us of Goober Pyle at all. Yes we are old enough to remember.
RangerWe love this place. We trout fish. It is perfect. And it is beautiful. Great place.
GuidePulled in here and found a place to camp. No marked sites, just an open area by a beautiful lake. Very high winds with a wind advisory when we arrived. 30-40 mph winds with gusts to over 60 mph. We have camped in higher winds than these so, not a big deal. About 6 others camped here now, only 3 when we arrived at 1 pm.
TravelerNice level sites above the Rio Grande gorge. No camping spots next to the river. Had Verizon access.
TravelerThe camp site is private and comfortable with lovely views of the mountains and sunsets. It has full hookups, a flagstone patio, and a partial fence for privacy. You can walk out the gate to trails that go along the Mesa overlooking the river canyon or down to the river and hot springs. Victoria is a kind and helpful host.
TravelerThis is what we wanted to find with dispersed camping! Beautiful view! A couple of neighbors but never heard them. Not the easiest piece of ground to get the trailer leveled but we made it work. Very pleased with our 3 nights there.
ScoutThe camper before me didn’t bother take their trash with them. That’s highly uncalled for. It was late afternoon and I didn’t have time to look for another place.
GuideThis is a really nice camping ground. It has flush toilets and an electric plug in the bathroom also. There's drinkable water spigot all around. The bad thing about this place is that the sites are too close for comfort. That's why it's my title. Otherwise, it's pretty nice. Great view of a mountain right in front of you. The mountain is so close, you can count the trees. There's also the Cimarron River that runs through. Stay one night if you like it, stay longer. 🤷♂️
