This campground is less developed than most, and primarily serves those who use it for an overnight stay before embarking on a backpack into the Pecos. At 10,200 feet above sea level, it’s one of the highest campgrounds approachable via paved road in the US Forest Service system. There is ample space for trailer/RV camping, but no dump station is available. There is no potable water and no campground host. The entire area is scenic, and NM 475 is also designated as the Santa Fe Scenic Byway. Because of the scenic quality and the easy access from Santa Fe, the area is very busy, especially in the summer and in the fall aspen viewing season. Aspen Basin Campground is located about fifteen miles from downtown Santa Fe on NM 475.
