Baca Campground

I will give this one extra star because of the absolute beauty of the campground there are many many campsites with burn pits the only drawback is there are no water or electricity hookups or sewer hookups there is however a men and women's bathroom at the top of the campgrounds and the bottom of the campgrounds.

Quick stop to sleep on our way home. We pulled in at dark, sometime early morning I think, so didn't spend much time here but the spots were easy to find, clean and ours at least had a fire ring. There were other campers nearby but you had a feeling of seclusion depending the spot you chose. The cows (baca) seemed to free range if their dung was any indication. I would give 5 stars but a little to far from mountains for my liking. 😁

As said in the above title I stay here often. This is dispersed camping. No water no trash cans so pack it in pack it out. This said I always have an enjoyable stay. I nearly always see lots of wildlife. The campsite s are large and widely spaced. The town of Capitan is only about 15 to 20 miles away there is a grocery a Dollar store, gas station, laundromat and a US Post office. I will definitely stay again in the future.

Slow driving in due to the gravel road. Roads into the campground are rough but accessible. Beautiful mature trees and wildflowers. Fire rings, thanks to previous campers. Cattle graze through sporadically. There's flies, so bring big spray. Gorgeous mountains in the background.

It's about a 6 miles drive in on a forest road. Nice gravel road and well maintained.

Dozens of spots to park your rig with tree cover along the main loop. Lots of small roads off of the main loop with more camp spots. Some of those roads were not accessible by our van, as they are a little rough.

The night we stayed it was just us and one small class C camper. Very peaceful, clean, and beautiful spot. Clean vault toilets available. No water so bring enough for your stay.

Baca dispersed camping is a great camping area that has a lot to offer. Very remote, lots of wildlife, elk, coyotes, roadrunners. This place was once a CCC camp in the 1930s,. There is no water on the premises so you must bring your own. No trash faculties, so pack it in, pack it out. Only 15 miles from Capitan to the west and 20 miles to Reuidoso in the north. This is a free campground.

We took our new little camper and two daughters to Baca Campground for a quick overnight. We live in Roswell and it is only a short drive to this campground. We got there around 5 or so on a Saturday night and it was not busy at all. Bathrooms were open and that is a big sell for us as our camper does not have a bathroom. The Capitan wilderness is just perfect as a back drop and the weather was great overall. Definitely going here another 15 times over the next few months.

This is a great place drove up for a day. Nice open area to camp. Clean area and freash air it was great.

This campground was nice, lots of large trees and big sites. We had several neighbors,but it was not hard at all to find a place to ourselves.

Unfortunately, while we were here, we had a twist of unexpected weather. We got hit with a TON of crazy wind which made our tent bend all the way to the ground. We ended up seeking shelter in our car.

We woke up to a bunch of snow and decided to drive out... which was a bad idea. The roads were too slick with water and we ended up driving off the road! (See video) Thankfully the locals were nice and pulled us out!

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE HERE IN WET CONDITIONS!
