About
Clear Creek Campground is located in the Jemez Mountains of Santa Fe National Forest, approximately 11 miles east of Cuba, New Mexico on Highway 126. This mountain retreat sits among stunning ponderosa pines near Clear Creek, offering a cool escape from New Mexico heat at around 8,400 feet elevation. The campground provides paved RV pads, fire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets, with potable water available and camp hosts on site during operating season. The area is known for excellent recreational opportunities. Anglers can fish Clear Creek, other local streams, and San Gregorio Reservoir. Hikers have easy access to the San Pedro Parks Wilderness just north of the campground, with three main trailheads within driving distance: San Gregorio, Palomas, and Los Pinos. The minimal grade increases make this wilderness ideal for both beginner and experienced backpackers. Wildlife is abundant, with elk commonly heard bugling in early mornings and late evenings during fall. The campground is approximately 90 minutes from Albuquerque and 11 miles from Cuba, where lodging, restaurants, and gas stations are available.
