Awesome Primitive Campsite Next to The Rio Grande

This campground is next to the Rio Grande. The night sky views are spectacular and the daytime views are just a beautiful. The site had a fire ring and picnic table. The site may require a high clearance vehicle depending on recent weather. FM 170 between Presidio and LaJitas has plenty of scenery, hiking trails and fishing opportunities.
