Capulin Campground

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.
