    Free riverside camping

    Monticello Road Dispersed Camping

    Great for overnight off I-25

    We stayed for a night on a road trip and was just what we were looking for. Lots are spaced out, even, and easy to access. Others commented that the road had potholes but that wasn’t our experience (maybe further in that’s the case-we didn’t explore much). Excellent sunrise and sunset views, no noise from interstate. No amenities but there were fire pits.

    Truth or Consequences Camp on Rio Grande

    Great Overnight Stay

    Right along the river. Many pull-offs to choose from. Take your pick. Most are flat. Some are shaded. We use solar for charging and had plenty of sunshine!

    Monticello Road Dispersed Camping

    More Than Meets the Eye

    We drove all the way to the power line rd, made a right and then proceeded through multiple BLM gates that we had to open then close behind us. We ended up down in the reservoir valley, out of the wind. Phenomenal spot. Good verizon service.

    Monticello Road Dispersed Camping

    Dispersed Camping

    Big pullouts down gravel road off I-25. Great place for a quick overnight. You can go all the way to the old camp grounds for the upper end of Elephant Butte reservoir, but you might struggle getting back up the hill with anything bigger than a teardrop.

    Monticello Road Dispersed Camping

    Dispersed Off I-25

    Have stayed here twice.Easy access from I-25. Hardly anyone on-site. Go further down the road for more secluded spots. Great view of stars at night.

    Monticello Road Dispersed Camping

    Easy pull off from I-25

    Stayed here one night on my way back to CO. Several pull offs with already made fire pits. Could see the stars like crazy! Can’t hear interstate traffic. Spots close to the water too.
