Ojito Wilderness

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Hiking and mountain biking draw visitors to Ojito Wilderness, a BLM-managed area outside camping destinations outside Jemez Pueblo with several dispersed sites spread along a dirt road off US550 via Cabazon Road. The first four miles cross BIA land, so campers need to continue past that boundary before setting up. Road conditions include rough sections, and one reviewer brought a 34-foot fifth wheel in about nine to ten miles without issue, though driver confidence matters on this route. Verizon users have reported three to four bars of cell coverage. Bring your own water; trash service is available.

Peace full and quite.

US550 and Cabazon Rd. The first 4 miles off US550 is BIA land, you must keep going to get to BLM land. I saw about a half dozen locations to camp. Dirt road all the way and some rough spots along the way. I took a 34 ft 5th wheel in but if you dont feel confident with your ability you may pass. I went in about 9-10 miles off highway and camped about 2/10ths of a mile from a parking lot for a walking trail. Very peacefull and great night stars. There are a couple of hiking trails nearby and even a mountain bike trail. I had 3 to 4 bars of Verizon cell service.
