Capulin Campground

Came 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.

Stayed here while traveling through Taos. About 10 first come first serve primitive campsites next to the road and creek. The trees give some privacy in between the campsites and road. I wasn't too bothered by the road noise and it was quiet after dark. There is also a hiking/biking trail at the end of the campground.

Sites were far enough from everyone else, but where right on the only road in and out. This is a popular spot between angel fire and taos. Not too primitive.

The National Forest Service campground is located on highway 64 between Angel Fire and Taos New Mexico. The site is just a few feet off the highway next to a small creek. They have about a dozen small campsites along the creek with privacy between the sites. The sites are very basic and come equipped with fire pits and picnic tables. The location had availability during the summer peak season. The site is self serve pay and does not have a camp host. The location may be a good option for those looking to visit Taos which is about 30 minutes away. I gave this a low rating due to the condition of the sites which needed basic maintenance and cleanup. The site was also far to close to the highway to enjoy a good camping experience. I think this is the type of place you use as a last resort while in transit to Taos or Eagles nest.
