Shaded Next To River + Steam Train

The weather is perfect in the summer! The Cumbres & Toltec steam train goes by the campground twice a day at the trestle. The Rio Chama flows along the edge of the campground. The staff was friendly and helpful. The town of Chama is within walking distance. Definitely worth staying.

Mosquitoes

I’m new to camping but there was a ton of mosquitoes I think because it’s right by a river. The bathrooms worked but it’s not amazing. I think the spots are too close together.

Nice spot! A little close to the road, car noises but lots of trees camouflaging them. River access from 7 am-dusk. Bathrooms, both flushing and portable potties, also has showers. VERY friendly folks!!
