GuideSmall sites but great views
This campground is good for tent and very small rv camping. The views of the Organ mountains were amazing with plenty of hiking trails.

GuideGorgeous
Very windy road back to campground. Putable water at beginning of road. Get it if you need it before you go up. Pit toilets, just okay. Sites are awesome! Spread out. Nice fire pits and covered picnic tables. Tucked right under mountain. Great views!
