Tres Piedras Camp

Gravel and sand roads lead into this dispersed area within Carson National Forest, where sites come with fire rings, picnic tables, and enough pine tree cover to provide separation between neighbors. Cell service and WiFi are available, which reviewers note draws visitors. Sites are flat and wide, well-suited to trailers. Trailhead signs and rock formations are visible from camp. Those planning a broader trip can browse dispersed options around Carson National Forest before committing to a site. Turn right at the water tower just past the ranger station on Highway 64 heading west.

Lovely

Close to main roads but quiet flat and wide spots. Several fire spots (3-5 didn’t count all). We had neighbors we could see but all are pleasantly spaced. Heading west in 64, turn right at the water tower that is just past Ranger station.

SiteFirst on left about four back from sharp left turn in dirt road.

On the way out from Mesa Verde NP

We found this place randomly. Seen all the road exits of the Carson National Forest on our way to Taos we said “let’s give it a try!” And we found apparently a fairly popular place. It may be due to available internet connection (which we greatly enjoyed it after weeks!) or just a lower altitude spot that may help with physical activity and weather temps. At any rate, easy and short access to the camp sites via gravel sandy road, some with fire rings and camp tables, leveled grounds for trailers and lots of pine trees for privacy. There are signs for trailheads and pretty rock formations that will need to be explored next time. We stayed a night and enjoyed it to the fullest. Highly recommended, especially as nights get nice and chill (vs. hot day temps) for good sleep.
