Watch out for Cow Droppings

This is a nice campground for those that are looking to fish the Canjilon lakes. There are many cows in the area and they will come and visit your site. That means that will be leaving droppings that you have to watch out for. Also, be prepared to clean your 4 legged friends paws as they won't be so careful of where they walk. There are vault toilets throughout the campsite and we didn't use them as we had our own facilities in the trailer. The sites are paved with asphalt and most are not level. The site we were at had two picnic tables in good shape and a nice fire pit. The sites will accommodate smaller trailers fine and larger ones may have trouble navigating the narrow roads. There is a lot of downed wood in the immediate vicinity as there was a fire there a while back. There is a lot of new growth that provide privacy between sites. The campground is above 9000 feet so the sun will be powerful and the oxygen pressure less so. The fishing is good at the lakes and can be crowded as the lakes are popular. The dirt road out of Canjilon is rough and the asphalt road to the lakes has several large pot holes. The roads are also narrow.
