Abandoned Air Strip on Route 95

2 ReviewsAdd Review

Part of the Bureau of Land Management's Monticello Field Office territory, this dispersed camping area occupies an abandoned airstrip directly adjacent to Route 95. The paved runway surface accommodates large RVs without difficulty, while pull-off spots tucked into surrounding trees provide options for smaller rigs seeking more privacy. A newer county building sits in the middle of the strip, with usable camping areas extending on both sides.

Campers report minimal road noise despite the highway proximity. The location serves as a convenient base for exploring nearby Pueblo ruins and provides access to camping near BLM Land — Monticello Field Office throughout the region. Self-contained units work best here, as no services are available on-site.

Great spot for a night or more

This is an abandoned air strip. It does have a new building right in the middle that looks like it might be for the county. Nothing inside but a fence all around. On both sides of this building the asphalt strip is still visible. We ended up parking on the side of the strip but it does have several spots that you can tuck your trailer into the trees. Only two of these spots would fit a big rig but small truck campers could easily fit in the other spaces. On both sides of the building the asphalt strip is very level and on both side you have the option to tuck into the trees. It looks like some people have even built fire rings. The location is perfect to visit the Pueblo ruins, some site are close to the road others require a hike. Lots of hiking close by. It is only a 10 minute drive to Natural Bridges National monument which does have a campground but only for smaller rigs. We also unloaded our side by side and rode all around the mountains. Overall this is a perfect place to out of the way but close to some pretty amazing sites.

Nice spot for the night

A NPS ranger recommended this spot after we found the campground at Natural Bridges NM was full. The abandoned runway, right next to Rt. 95, is paved so the biggest RV won’t have a problem. Planty of room and we found a pulled off spot with a view and privacy from trees on either side that fits our 18’ camper van. Very little traffic noise from the road. Just about a perfect spot for a quick overnighter for those that are self contained.
