Enjoy river side camping with amenities. This is a great swimming and fishing spot with gorgeous views. Catch and release fishing only please. Our local coop market, restaurants, four local wineries a museum and a pizza brewery all within 5 miles of your campsite. 110v & 50amp 240v plugin are available and a level 2 ccs EV charger is also available upon request. There is a drinking water spigot as well as a trash receptacle on site. There are no bathroom facilities here. The parking area can accommodate camper vans and medium size trailers. Large RV’s aren’t able to turn around in our small parking area.This little river side campsite is conveniently located between Taos and Santa Fe just off Hwy 68. The parking spot is directly above your private riverside campsite. Charge up if needed, while you enjoy some river time on this beautiful section of Rio Grande.

Loved tent camping here, it did get pretty loud with the cars nearby but it was nice to have the option to camp up closer to the road or down below by the creek(:

We really enjoyed a slice of heaven on Ed and Erika‘s Rio Grande River Bank site. The river is truly beautiful here, and we were lucky enough to even see a beaver. There’s ample space to park an RV, and nicely landscaped rock steps take you down to a grassy area on the riverbank of the Rio Grande. You can easily set up here with camp chairs, your kitchen table, even a tent. As others have noted, the highway noise is definitely a factor. It recedes later at night, but if highway noise bothers you… We had the good fortune of meeting Ed, and he was super accommodating and friendly. We would love to stay here again.

Lovely little site. There is traffic noise, but it dies down as the night ages. My dog (always on leash!) loved exploring by the river.

This is a very convenient place to camp if you are looking to pull to the side of the road and spend the night. It is easy to find and right between Taos and Santa Fe. If you are in a trailer be mindful that there isn’t much room to turn around - we have a F150 and a 20 ft trailer and it was a tight squeeze. Also, the pad for trailers is right off the road - so you will be hearing traffic at a pretty close range - it dies down at night but people still seemed to be speeding by at all hours. If you have a tent you can go down to the bank of the river which feels more secluded and is probably a better bet. There is a nice beach-y area where we set up chairs and did some fishing - you could probably swim there as well. There is a free antique Gas Station museum less than 5 min up the road - that was an interesting find and a good side quest. The site itself is very clean and well maintained. Really the biggest thing to note is proximity to the road, but you also have proximity to the river :) very convenient location and a good place to spend a night while traveling.

Great location for exploring area (and numerous wineries). Easy to find once you know what you’re looking for (look for HipCamp flag next to road). Place is probably better for tents since that space is away from the road and right next to the river. The spot for an RV (or our rooftop tent) is right off the road and a bit noisy. Didn’t have any problems sleeping though.

Amazing slice of paradise right off the road and right next to the river. Great place to stay for the night passing thru on a road trip. Some traffic noise but it died down as night went on. Fun trails to explore along the river. Thx for a great stay!
