Within Santa Fe National Forest, Field Tract Campground provides a drive-in camping experience along the Pecos River at $8 per night. This US Forest Service facility operates from May through November, accommodating RVs up to 62 feet with basic amenities including drinking water, flush and pit toilets, and picnic tables.
The campground sits directly beside the Pecos River, where campers can access fishing opportunities for brown trout. David C. notes it's "right by the Pecos River with fishing" and observed "several people with stringers of nice brown trout." The river also provides a place for children to splash and play during warmer months. Sites are spaced to allow some privacy without feeling isolated, and the sound of flowing water creates a natural backdrop.
Access requires navigating rougher roads, though reviewers describe the route as manageable for most vehicles. Cell service is typically unavailable, creating a digital detox environment. The campground maintains a clean condition with adequate restroom facilities, though availability can vary seasonally. Hiking trails require driving several miles from the campground itself.
For campers wanting more dispersed options, Cow Creek Dispersed Camping Area offers a different experience southeast of Field Tract.
