A real jewel of a secluded partially developed campground in ponderosa pine. Armijo Springs Campground is a secluded quiet campground off the beaten path, yet it is not too far from Quemado Lake. It is nestled among ponderosa pines and some oak trees which provide shade and make even the hottest summer day cool and bearable. There is a natural spring nearby. This is a good site for a group activity and has room for volleyball and horseshoes.
From Quemado go south on NM 32 approximately 18 miles to Forest Road 854. Go east approximately 4 miles. Forest Road 854 is not well marked on NM 32 but a large brown sign for the campground is visible to the east of the intersection.
Great place to get some peace and quiet. Loved it. The spring is dried up though. Out house and fire rings available.
We had the place to ourself. Until a late night weary camper set up camp trailer and loud music all night Oh well it was peaceful while we had. Also picked up others trash a packed it out. Your welcome!
Maybe I had been on the road too long by this point, but these were the worst vault toilets I encountered on a 3k mile road trip. Otherwise alright- there was only 1 other set of campers present. Don't be like me and forget you drove into the desert and nearly freeze to death when the temp drops 30 degrees in 2 hours.
