Tucked into forested terrain within Cibola National Forest, Lobo Canyon sits roughly eight miles northeast of Grants, New Mexico, in the Cibola National Forest. The campground operates seasonally from mid-May through mid-September and provides toilet facilities on site. A lake is located nearby. Campers who want additional options in the same corridor can look at Cibola National Forest Coal Mine Campground, situated about 2.4 miles to the northeast. This site works best for campers comfortable with minimal amenities in a forested National Forest setting.
Description
