This rustic style campground has 12 sites set at the base of southern New Mexico's tallest mountain. A portion of the site is designed for Group Camping. Three Rivers is a great place to go to get away from the crowds and is located at a much lower elevation than our other campgrounds (around 5000'). From here you can access the Three Rivers trailhead (T44) into the White Mountain Wilderness is located. Access to the site and the roads throughout the site are all well maintained dirt roads. Don't miss the Three Rivers Petroglyph Site on the way in or out. ACTIVITIES Camping Hiking Horseback Riding Picnicking: Smokey Bear Ranger District picnic area.
From US 54, 24 miles south of Carrizozo or 18 miles north of Tularosa, turn east onto Forest Road 579 at the sign that says Three Rivers Petroglyph Site and Campground for 13 miles (the last 7 miles are unpaved). The road is well marked to the campground.
$6 per night. $6 per night for each additional vehicle, 2 vehicles max.
Absolutely loved it. Beautiful trails and camping spots!
simple gorgeous campground, about 25 minutes drive towards the mountains from main road, dirt unpaved road. our toyota chr made it thru nicely. self pay ~$5 at the front. great place to bird watch, see the sunset, and explore petroglyphs
It was a nice stop on our way to Guadalupe Mountains National Park from Albuquerque. It has toilets and nice views. We ended up staying here because it is a self serve campground and you can arrive at any time. I recommend stopping at the petroglyph site, so worth it.
This place is not as known as White Sands or Gila, but it has plenty to offer, especially during summer. The campsite is clean and beautiful. The several trails go deep into the Sierra Blanca and there's room for hiking/rock climbing.
One of the best camping 🏕 sites I’ve found near El Paso, TX without feeling like your near El Paso 🤙. Secluded, shaded, trails near by, camp sites are not on top of each other. Host are polite and friendly and willing to work with anyone. (I didn’t take any good photos this trip but here’s a few)
The drive to campsite is on a dirt road. Any vehicle will be able to make it, the road is mainly flat and accessible to all vehicles.
