The campground, adjacent to a meadow and above Trujillo Meadows Reservoir, is composed of two sections - Upper and Lower. The campground has been cleared of most trees due to beatle kill. Sites 34 through 39 are in an inner loop which are not RV friendly. There is an observation platform across from camping sites 40 and 41 to view a waterfall. Boating and fishing on the reservoir; small motorized and nonmotorized water craft only. Hiking on nearby trails. The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, a historic narrow-gauge railroad, runs nearby. The facilities are large, with 50 campsites, one with parking for a two-car group. All sites have picnic tables, and fireplaces (limited firewood); there are toilets, drinking water and ample parking. Refuse receptacles and pickups are provided. Barrier-free facilities are offered here. Los Pinos Trail 736 can be accessed via the improved dirt Forest Road 1C and 4 WD Forest Road 118.

Closed and wasn't posted when me and my family went camping had to turn around and camp out in NM where we were comfortable with. Long drive for nothing....
Great Mountain Range! I still need to try the Creeks and Rivers in this area! Heard of trophy trout fishing in the area!
The most beautiful lake on N.M. Colo. border .
Fishing never disappoints.
Though the lake isn't a lake right now, it's still a beautiful place!
