La Sombra Campground

Carson National Forest manages La Sombra Campground along Highway 64 southeast of Taos, operating from May through October. The Forest Service facility sits beside a trout stream that draws anglers, while hiking trails lead up from the canyon floor. Road noise from the highway affects the camping experience.

Each site includes a fire ring and picnic table, with clean pit toilets serving the campground. Firewood is available for purchase, and cell service reaches the area. The campground prohibits pets and offers both drive-in and walk-in access. For different accommodations, Capulin Campground provides an immediate alternative in the same corridor.

Nice Fishing Campground

La Sombra is a National Forest Service camp the highway 64 southeast of Taos New Mexico. The campground is of a number of NFS along this route. They have a nice trout stream for fishing and access to good hikes up out of the canyon. The sites all have fire rings and picnic tables. We camped here for one night on our way back to Texas. The road noise is the only downside. They had clean pit toilets and plenty of space even in the summer.
