SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Fly fishing draws day visitors to Petacas Campground regularly, and the Rio Grande runs directly alongside the five sites here. Set at roughly 6,000 feet in a steep gorge, the campground sits within the Orilla Verde Recreation Area and stays well under capacity on midweek visits in spring. Cottonwood trees line the river corridor, and bird activity is consistent. A camp host is on site. One ADA-accessible site includes a covered picnic table. Pit toilets and potable water are available. Rafting and kayaking are options on the river, and campsites near Carson give regional context for planning a longer stay in the area.
