"...The campground, located in a canyon among juniper and oak trees, is adjacent to the Rio Chama Wild and Scenic River with the Chama River Canyon Wilderness on both sides. The Rio Chama is floatable with some sites overlooking the river. The canyon has been occupied by different cultures since 9500 BC. Contact the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on (505) 761-8700 for information on the river and licensed outfitters. Multi-colored canyon walls tower some 2,000 feet above the river in places and provide breathtaking vistas throughout the campground.

There are several interesting day trips from the campground:

(1) Monastery of Christ in the Desert - about 2 miles up from the campground.

(2) Ghost Ranch Living Museum - on US Rt. 84 about 12 miles north of Abiquiu, NM.

(3) Ghost Ranch Conservation Center (Paleontology and Archeological museums) - south of the Ghost Ranch Living Museum on US Rt. 84.

(4) Drive US Rt. 84 between Abiquiu and Cebolla, NM and take in the magnificent views of the "Red Rocks" canyons...

...Not accessible during inclement weather, e.g., monsoons...

...The parking aprons are gravel. Access road (Forest Rt. 151) is not RV friendly...

...The Big Eddy Takeout for the Rio Chama is 3.3 miles downstream from the campground on Forest Rt. 151..."
