Armijo Springs Campground

2 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Within Apache National Forest, Armijo Springs Campground operates as a free US Forest Service site with five picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. The campground lacks trash service, requiring campers to pack out all waste. Cell service is nonexistent throughout most of the area, though some visitors report limited connectivity by moving down the access road about 100 yards to find clearer sky for satellite internet.

Elk occasionally pass through the forested sites, and an active spring with tank provides a water source during wetter months like May and June. The campground accommodates RVs up to 17 feet based on recent visitor experience. For water refills and dump station access, Piñon Campground sits roughly 15 miles away near Quemado Lake.

Quiet secluded and low use in Spring

Armijo Springs is a quiet secluded free campground with a vault toilet (low maintenance due to its isolated location), picnic tables (5) and fire rings. No trash service so take it with you. We were here Memorial Day weekend 2023 and there was only one other quest that arrived on Saturday. There is a $5 dump and water station at Pinion campground near Quemado Lake about 15 miles (?) away. We stayed with a 17' trailer and Class B van. There is NO cell service and we had to move down the dead end road 100 yards to get a clear enough area for Starlink to partially work. Probably why few people stay here. Elk walk through camp occasionally and there is an actual spring w/ tank nearby. I don't think it runs in the drier months but it is flowing now. May/June 2023. The water could easily be filtered for personal use I think.

Quiet and peaceful

Quiet, only campers here on a Saturday. Tall trees, crisp fresh air. Would have stayed longer but needed to do research so need cell service. Got a little signal with a booster. If you need to disconnect this is the place.
