Easy for a big rig

I took a 37 foot class A RV up there, and it was no problem. Take Camino De La Huertas to Llano el Norte and turn left and you’re there. follow the signs. There’s quite a few cactus out here. Be careful.

Wide open area and not may people around

Yep the directions on Google are wrong. Go past Palomino and take first left on Llano Del Norta Rd. There is a sign once you get out there.

Easy to get to but it was a bit further away from I25 that I expected. Lots of open space and I only saw one other vehicle out there. I only stayed one night and I just needed a place to stay on my way to AZ. I wouldn't mind staying again with a bit more time to check things out a bit more.

URGENT Directions wrong

Nice place but DO NOT follow maps and take Palomino Rd. It’s PRIVATE and residents are not welcoming. Go past Palomino and take first left on Llano Del Norta Rd for access to BLM!

BLM Land Placitas NM

Just 10 miles north of Albuquerque by the Sandias. Open space for dispersed camping with views of the mountains. Lots of flat open places. Don't need 4x4 but a little clearance helps with the rocks and ruts.
