Lower Hondo Campground

Had a great time at this campground. Was in town for a week or so but didn’t have any camping equipment with me to stay the night but had a blast using it during the day and into the night some. The Hondo River runs right next to the campground so you have easy access to water. There is a pit toilet and it’s the most fresh (I guess you’d say if that’s something you care about) compared to the others along the road to the ski valley. Had a great time building a fire and relaxing under the stars before HAVING to go back to my hotel. Can’t wait to come back next year and bring my camping gear to spend a couple nights. You can camp here up to 14 days. I do want to reiterate what someone already said about the winter and snow season. Unless you have a plow it’s not accessible as the drifts do reach about 5ft+.

Tent camped in July and could not get into the water; but did freeze my ankles off. Have nice latrine commode and that is all. There are no specific sites. Just find a place and set up. Longest stay is 2 weeks. 

Photographer had a pop-up trailer, solar cells, (trees everywhere). He said 2X per week he would get a shower in town somewhere.

There is sufficient room for 10-15 families. Remove all trash when leaving.

Obviously, camp in warm weather or you need to have a snow plow since drifts 3-5 ft deep.
