About this campground
El Caso V (Five) Campground is a partially developed, free campground located just outside the Quemado Lake Recreation Area on Forest Road 13 in the Gila National Forest. This campground is primarily designated for equestrian use, as horses are prohibited within the nearby Quemado Lake Recreation Area. The campground provides vault toilets and shaded sites under mature cottonwoods and ponderosa pines, though corrals and water are not available. Situated approximately 1.5 miles east of Quemado Lake along Forest Road 13, El Caso V serves as a convenient base for horseback riding and is also popular with hunters, especially when the developed Juniper and Piñon Campgrounds close seasonally.

The campground operates as pack-it-in/pack-it-out, and campers must be self-sufficient with water and supplies. The campground is located in a remote area of Catron County, accessible via New Mexico Highway 32 and Highway 103. OHV/ATV use is prohibited within the campground, though ATVs are generally allowed on the forest with proper licensing. A 14-day stay limit applies to all Gila National Forest campgrounds, and pets must be leashed.
