Clean, secluded USFS campground
Gem of a USFS campground in the Cibola National Forest near Corona, NM. Can get crowded on weekends and most especially during Fall hunting season.
Note that directions from Maps/Dyrt tries to send you the wrong way off County Rd 22, so follow the brown signs to the campground and you can’t miss it.
Pros:
- Road in is reasonably well maintained and accessible (we saw a mix of trucks, RVs and vans all making way easily, even a few passenger cars; go slow)
- Several dispersed sites also available near entrance to campground and down road passed campground
- Pit toilets were fine and seem to be maintained; trash bins also available
- Reasonably spaced sites with tables and fire pits (no water to my knowledge, so pack in)
- Beautiful views up the road on way to a fire tower and a zone that’s still pretty bare from previous fires
- Family of livestock roam the area which is entertaining (just watch out for the giant cow pies)
Cons:
- Might see some dirt bikes/UTV traffic, which can get noisy
- Can get really crowded during hunting seasons and likely near holidays, so be aware (talked to a local and got the scoop from their many times staying here)
