    Forest Road 5 - Dispersed campsite

    Good Free Spot!

    Got there late so we just pulled into the first site we saw. Woke up to a little creek behind us. More people were camping on down the road. And had a few people show up in the morning to go on a walk.

    Rio Fernando de Taos - Forest Rd 5

    Headwaters of Rio Fernando de Taos

    Highway 64 between Taos and Angel Fire > Turn onto Forest Rd 5 and go to end

    Solid road, no issue with 25ft travel trailer.

    There's a gravel cul-de-sac with a couple obvious places to camp.  Also a couple two tracks roads continuing into the woods, but those weren't passable due to mud.

    There's a few small ponds which appear to be the beginning of the Rio Fernando.  I think there's some restoration work going on if I'm not mistaken.  

    I tried parking so that I was looking out at the clearing, but this made levelling my trailer pretty difficult.  Probably would be easier to just keep in on the gravel.

    I somehow had 5g reception here on Verizon, and Starlink also worked well.
