DIRECTIONS:
From San Ysidro, NM, take State Rt. 4 north 11.5 miles to
campground sign. Turn left at sign into campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 5,800 ft.
The campground, among juniper, cholla, prickly pear and
cottonwoods, stretches along the Jemez River with some sites
overlooking the river. Each site has a panoramic view of the
multi-colored walls of Jemez Canyon. The campground is
conveniently located off State Rt. 4 (Jemez Mountain Trail), a
designated scenic route. A wheelchair friendly paved walkway
provides easy access for all to the river and bank fishing.
Several sites have ramada-like structures. The campground is
well laid out and is almost as attractive as the view. Several
day trips should be considered, such as Jemez Springs Bathhouse,
Jemez Pueblo, Jemez State Monument and others.
