Two of the campsites are large enough for small to medium-sized RVs. Roads within the campground can be tight and steep. It’s best to park your trailer or motorhome on a wide shoulder along State Highway 150 before entering because you may have difficulty getting out if all campsites are full. This is a popular campground when open due to fishing in the Rio Hondo, and due to people hiking through the Columbine-Hondo Wilderness and Wheeler Park Wilderness.
