No potable water on-site and supplies are 25 miles away in Mountainair, so anyone who forgets to load up before arrival is in real trouble. The washboard dirt road also rules out trailers, and tent pitching spots are genuinely limited depending on which site you land.

Fall is the best window here. September and October bring daytime highs between 50 and 70°F with nights dropping into the 30s. The air is crisp, the high-elevation foliage turns, and deer activity peaks. You avoid the summer monsoon storms that way. Spring and summer warm to around 75°F in the afternoons, starting cool at 50°F in the mornings. Winter gets dry and cold. With only six sites, you won't deal with crowds, though early fall sometimes overlaps with hunting season.
Seasonal notes: fall best window with crisp air, foliage color and peak deer activity.
