Idlewilde Campground Idlewilde Campground is the first campground you encounter as you enter Cave Creek Canyon from the east. Cave Creek Canyon is well known for its spectacular scenery and excellent birding. In addition, a short distance from the entrance, you’ll find the trailhead for the Cave Creek Nature Trail, which spans the lower Cave Creek Canyon from Sunny Flat Campgoundto the Silver Peak Trailhead. Sites at Idlewild are best suited for camping in tents, vans, or pickup truck campers. No trailers are permitted. Note: Black bears are common in the area.
From Rodeo, NM, take State Rt. 80 east 21 miles to State Rt. 533. Turn left onto Rt. 533 and go 7.8 miles to "Y" intersection (Forest Rt. 42). Bear left onto Rt. 42 and go 1.7 miles to Idlewild sign. Turn right at sign into campground
Great camp grounds and beautiful running waters. Would definitely recommend a visit or stop to enjoy the beauty of the mountains, trails and waters.
We went there last year and it was amazing. 1st time camping. Can't wait to go there again.
I love this park. Beautiful streams, birds even wild turkey, and rocks.
Great place to camp right by the water, both bathrooms always clean and have toilet paper. They also have bear proof camping storage and trash cans.. the spring water is excellent as well.. I said well..lol
This campground is great! The sites are not on top of each other and the majority are raised up from the road. The bathroom looks newly renovated and when we visited in early October the place was basically deserted.
