The nicest forest service campground near Red River, NM. This is in a narrow canyon with Columbine Creek running through the middle. Lots of tree cover and shade in the upper loop, but if you like the sun, stay in the lower loop. Because of the canyon walls, the sun hits the canyon later in the morning and sets earlier in the evening. Good access to the Columbine /Hondo Wilderness trails. The road and spurs are all paved. Campground hosts (Roger and Gwen) do a fantastic job of keeping the campground clean, especially the bathrooms. Most of the sites can be reserved, there are FCFS sites that are available, but get here Thursday or early Friday to secure one of those.

Reserved site #12, but it was extremely unlevel and had both a tree and a rock which were in the way of slide outs. Had to move to another site the next day.

The hosts were just great. They personally greeted us and offered to help in any way possible. The bathrooms were spotless. The camp sites are well maintained.

Excellent place to camp by the river and plenty of hiking, trail running, biking and UTV activities in the area.
Great gift shops and places to eat.
