18 Ranger Station Rd., P.O. Box 8 Glenwood, NM 88309
Hikers planning to run WS Mountain Trail #43 or Dangerous Park Trail #515 get the best of this place. Fall is the sweet spot: elk rut, golden pines, cool days. Bring all your water from Reserve (11 miles) and a vehicle that handles narrow, winding dirt roads.
No potable water on-site, no hookups, no cell or radio signal, and a narrow access road that rules out RVs and trailers entirely. Feral cattle wander through, reviewers have found animal carcasses near sites, and the open ponderosa stand means dust and limited privacy on busier w

<p>Pueblo Park Campground is located in a large, cool stand of old growth ponderosa pines adjacent to the northern edge of the Blue Range Wilderness boundary with Dangerous Park Trail #515 on the northern end of the campground, and the WS Mountain Trail #43 immediately south of the campground entrance.</p>
The elevation is 6,100 ft. The campground meanders through a stand of mature Ponderosa pine along the seasonal Pueble Creek between two trailheads. The area was once a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp but there is little evidence to indicate its existence. The camp sites are well spaced so that, even with only a grass and pine needle understory, there is good privacy. Large corrals are available at both trailheads but there are no equestrian facilities within the campground. This pack it in/pack it out campground, adjacent to the Blue Range Wilderness, is best suited for tent and slide-in pick-up truck campers.
In Reserve, NM, at the intersection of State Rt. 12 and County Rt. 435, take Rt. 12 west 6.9 miles to a "T" intersection. Turn left at the intersection onto US Rt. 180 and go 4.6 miles to campground sign. Turn right after sign onto a dirt road and go 6 miles to the campground on right. NOTE: The last 6 miles are narrow, steep, winding, and rough.
Compare with similar sites, watch availability, and build a packing list — Camp Sage handles all of it.
Fall delivers the best conditions. September and October bring daytime highs in the upper 50s to mid-70s°F, with nights dropping into the 20s to 40s°F. The ponderosa stands turn golden, elk and deer activity peaks during rut, and summer crowds thin out. Weekdays are quieter than weekends. Check seasonal hunting dates before you go. Winter brings snow and freezing temperatures. Spring is crisp and dry, with wildflowers appearing on the forest floor. Summer warms up but stays comfortable at this elevation.
Fall is described as best: cool days, golden ponderosas and quieter conditions.
