Convenient stop and nice campground

The campground was great and conveniently located near Red River NM. There are plenty of tall pine trees for shade. We camped as far from the main road as possible, and the noise was minimal. We had one to two bars of cell service on Verizon.

Elephant Rock Campground

Stayed for a night while on a road trip. The camp sites were clean, and the host was friendly, the issue for me was that the campground (and area campgrounds) are settled right next to the road. You can see and hear cars during all hours of the night...other than that, the site was fine.
