"Here the campsites can get real close to the edge of the canyon. Super primitive, but amazing views. A little to hot this June."
"This place was off the beaten path, but we'll worth it. Beautiful canyon and open space. We will be coming back for sure."
"This canyon is a too little known gem tucked away in a corner of the state too few travel, as the near ghost town of Roy demonstrates. "
$15 - $90 / night
"This campground holds a land of beauty and is a must go to if you are in the New Mexico area, highly recommended!"

We arrived and there was a schoolie and a van. "

Play elastic man game while enjoy its beauty."

"It is off the highway but nice and secluded. Pretty location and outside of Las Vegas, NM. It isn’t a five star because the sites are pretty close together"
"4/5/2021 Right off the highway. One of the nicer KOA's we have stayed at in the Southwest."
ScoutThe sites were well spaced out, everyone followed quiet hours and it was very peaceful. Bathrooms definitely need updating, sinks had bugs all over them, dead and alive. Showers never got cold and turned off after a couple minutes, can live with that, but a little frustrating that I’m paying $30 for a cold shower.
TravelerJust a small open area, three picnic tables, a couple of pit toilets, trash cans. Lots of birds, a couple of deer, lots of coyotes off in the distance. Fishing is allowed but I didn't see any.
TravelerGreat camp sites with beautiful views! Had such a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Game warden was nice and respectful. Shout out to Debra who works for the campground. She was super helpful. Unable to follow hiking trail completely- I believe it's grown up.
3G phone service with Verizon, was able to make phone calls only.
ScoutThis RV resort has beautiful views of the mountains. Angel Fire RV Resort has beautiful grounds, the bath houses and very nice and modern, very nice hot tub, beautiful clubhouse. The resort has fire pits, pickleball courts, large dog park, putting range, walking path, laundry facilities. It is also close to several towns. One that you can ride your bike too. This is a A+ resort for TV camping.
ScoutCamp host is a very sweet and helpful lady. She takes great pride in her park. Very clean site. Located next to a golf coarse that also has a club house. Cute little store on site with thoughtful items for sale
ScoutCame here after getting creeped out by the skivy vibe at Los petakas campground a couple miles west. This was a nice basic spot, close to highway 64 so you get some traffic noise, but that goes away after dark for the most part. When you come in, cross the bridge over the small stream, that's where the better campsites are, and the trees around the creek screen the road noise a bit. Just two other campers here on a summer weekday evening. At the end of the road near site number one is a trailhead for the Capulin ice cave trail.
GuideEach time we make a trip to the area, I look into different dispersed areas, but always come back to this one.
The road can be a little bumpy, but there was numerous spots along the way. Decently sized, mostly flat areas to set up for the night. Some spots the entrance is steep, so be wary of small cars if it’s muddy.
This area hasn’t ever been super busy when we come, there are fire pits at most sites, and a good amount of downed branches/small sticks for fire wood.
We always look forward to coming back this way when we are in the area.
Ps. There are cattle in the area, but they’ve left us alone each time, they can be quite curious looking across the creek bed.
GuideNumerous spots along the forest road and some are tucked off the road a bit. The spot we found about a 1/2 mile or so past the bridge has a little fire ring and right next to the little creek. Surprisingly not a lot of bugs for being so close to the water!
Plenty happy with this place for the night and not too far from Taos.
TravelerBeautiful forest with aspen, pine, fir, and spruce trees. The forest road is in good shape with several well spaced out dispersed camping sites.
