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.
