Fawn Lakes Campground is located in Carson National Forest, one of a few campgrounds located along the scenic canyons of Red River. Visitors enjoy fishing and exploring nearby hiking trails.
Located between Questa and Red River, many activities such as hiking and fishing are available to visitors either at the campground or a short drive away. There is fishing access for Red River and to the nearby small lakes. Columbine Trailhead is within 4 miles and starts at Columbine Campground.
The campground contains 18 family overnight sites, of which three are tent-only sites. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided. Firewood is available for purchase from the host.
The Red River runs adjacent to the campground. Two small fishing lakes are within a short walk from the campground. The surrounding mountains comprise a beautiful forest of ponderosa pine that blankets the campground and offers partial shade.
The City of Red River is about 3 miles away, with groceries, gas, showers, laundry facilities and a café. An RV dump station is within 1 mile of the campground.
From Red River, drive approximately 3 miles west on NM-38.

The lake is gone, 7-23-2022, maybe they’ll rebuild at some point, right now, there’s nothing left of the lake, don’t come here expecting to fish.
Tent camping was good, host was good, beautiful campground. Will be back.
We enjoyed this area a lot. Friendly staff, clean bathrooms, cool nights, great trails, relaxing near a creek, and right near the town of Red River. Will definitely go back again!
Fawn Lake campgrounds are my absolute top favorite sites to camp on. I will always return as many times as possible in my lifetime! Definitely refer all my family and friends. My husband, our little girl and myself adore the space & the hostes. Great family fun, fishing on-site and plenty of peace to be had there.
