Description
Dispersed camping on the east rim of Rio Grande del Norte National Monument.
Signs further south in the monument indicate "camping in designated sites only". Chatted with the person at the visitor center about opportunities for dispersed camping, and they steered me here.
Access is from the dirt road heading west just past the RGdN monument sign. Road is mostly smooth dirt, but there were a couple of short rutted sections indicating muddy when wet. a few bumpy places, but navigable in 2WD.
several spots along the canyon rim both before and after the geo-tagged location. no existing fire pits.
big rig friendly for the adventurous
pets/kids: the campsite is literally on the edge of a cliff: plans accordingly
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
Wild and scenic - elevated and barren beauty overlooking the Rio Grande
Just right for a pretty good dark sky experience not crazy far from services
Go west on the road marked as Cerro Dump on maps - keep right at the first gate - then up the hill to the right when you get to the “Y”.
You can find limited space left at the y, but much more to the right
If you can’t see into the canyon, you’re not close enough to the best spots yet…
