El Aguaje Campground

Within BLM Land managed by the Taos Field Office, El Aguaje Campground sits atop a mesa with expansive eastern mountain views. The Bureau of Land Management maintains this drive-in campground with basic amenities including toilets, picnic tables, and designated fire rings. Campers report strong cell phone coverage from the elevated position.

The mesa location provides access to multiple hiking trails, including a route down to the valley floor below. Pets are welcome throughout the campground. The site works well for campers who prioritize mountain vistas and reliable communication access over extensive facilities.

Great Access to the El Aguaje Trail

Camping here is much like the rest of the park (pretty nice!), but the appeal here is the eastern mountain views and the trail down to the valley floor. Highly recommended.
