A nice spot to camp. An easy drive to the San Gregorio trail head. Hosts were helpful and facilities clean.

@MelissaM982934 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #7

The host is very friendly and active in maintaining the campsite. The surroundings are lovely. The bathrooms are clean. It is a wonderful, peaceful place. One of my favorites.

Clear Creek Campground is in a beautiful area. The sites are nicely built and not too close together.

@DavidM1864120 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #2

Well maintained small campground.

@DerekS4544392 · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #6

Great host, great facilities, clear instructions. If you are looking to get "off-grid" this is the spot. Easy pack-in/pack-out and just off the interstate if you are between destinations.

@PatriciaS93400 · Camped on Jul 4, 2025 at Campsite #9

Great Campground

@ToddH4266202 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #8

As little out of the way, but super quiet and nice sites. Heard elk and saw a bear! Will definitely be back!

@BARBARAF617364 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #10

Beautiful spot, clean. Very nice host Ben.

@DarlenaHA51155 · Camped on Jun 24, 2025 at Campsite #11

Beautiful campground surrounded by pine trees and wildlife. Clean and well maintained. The camp host does a wonderful job.

Clear Creek CG is one of the finest sites we have enjoyed in NM, ever. All roads to and inside the site are paved, each camp site has a paved pad around the FS picnic table & fire pit. The water table is low, but the creek is flowing. Potable (cold & fresh) water via a hand-pump is working fine. Pit-toilets were clean & well stocked. Bring bug spray & fly traps. The forest is mature, large diameter mixed conifers & aspen. We discovered "abandoned" FS roads all around the CG venturing into the NF in "almost every" direction; the slopes are generally moderate hiking level; mountain biking I would rate moderate +; easy-peasy FT are limited to the valley floor. It's a 3-mile drive on FS 70 from NM 126 to TH for San Gregorio Reservoir, a very nice lake inside the San Pedro Wilderness that's less than a mile to hike on a easy grade FT that is well maintained (read, good family hike with children.) Cellphone coverage is very low to gone, it's hit & miss where to get just 1 bar in the CG or in this general area. Back to NM 126 drive (and out) the highway is well maintained, but steep in many places; slow going up and "watch the brakes" driving out & down to Cuba, NM (which have small general stores & fuel.) Please do not go to this campsite so we can have our pick of reservation dates on the required Recreation.gov website ;) Cheers & enjoy...

So quiet and beautiful! The campsites are far enough apart and level. Clean

@SearbrookA5EEF · Camped on May 27, 2025 at Campsite #1

Nice area and the price is right. There was a fair amount of traffic and associated dust. Some drove though faster than others.

@MichaelS838841 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #6

Wonderful campground and great camp host, Ben. Clear Creek is a special place where time flys. Campground is in great condition and very clean thanks to Ben.

@CraigF8635877 · Camped on Sep 14, 2024 at Campsite #1

The area is small but it was quiet and beautiful.

@DanielLyCBFE3B · Camped on Sep 5, 2024 at Campsite #2

Our 30' camper fit well with plenty of room to back in. The site also had ample room for our truck and van to park. We will likely go back.

@JeffreyL828823 · Camped on Aug 20, 2024 at Campsite #11

Clear Creek is a beautiful place to camp! The sites are large and mostly wooded. At 8,500 feet, it's always cool at night during the summer. The camp host for 2024 could use some personality training, but other than that, it's a good choice!

@JenniferR98687 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #3

Very nice campground!! Loved that water was accessible there in the campground. Lots of great hikes and the Camp Hosts were very nice and helpful. They knew the area and were able to give ideas for things to do. Would recommend this campground highly!!

@josephs9140090 · Camped on Aug 5, 2024 at Campsite #5

Helpful camp host.Beautiful and Comfortable environment.

@KevinW7927630 · Camped on Jul 29, 2024 at Campsite #11

Beautiful campsites, completely paved so you dont have to worry about muddy roads. Very knowledgeable and polite camp host. Very clean bathrooms. Less than two hours from Albuquerque

@CharlesB214095 · Camped on Jul 15, 2024 at Campsite #5

Nice setting, but not quite as nice as nearby Rio de las Vacas CG. We have dogs, and one thing that's great about this place is that you can cross the road and go into the group picnic area and let your dogs run around for a bit if no one is there.

@LisaM2898345 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #3

Beautiful spot. Camp host gave us some great info. Quiet.

@DellP808356927 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #2

Very nice campsite. The host was gracious and offerred tips on places to go and things to do, including a good Mexican restaurant in towm. Tent pads were level and cleared. Campsites were far enough appart to have a feel of privacy. Easy to find. One unexpeted thing was proximity to a place that kept cows. They are very loud and startling when first heard as you set up camp. They do go to bed before you do so no problem there, and they make wonderful alarm clocks in the morning.It was a great experience- cool at night in contrast to the desert heat was nice.; Lots of tall trees for shade, also.

@JoelK5040601 · Camped on Jun 17, 2024 at Campsite #5

Lovely campground. Lots of shade

@ZivenPA9B93857 · Camped on Jun 4, 2024 at Campsite #12

I stayed at Clear Creek CG while on the Great Divide. The campground host was lovely and my friends and I enjoyed the clean bathrooms and cold, fresh water

@BryanB5307707 · Camped on May 28, 2024 at Campsite #8

Very clean, excellent campground host. Spotless toilet!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
