About
Located at 8,900 feet elevation in the Zuni Mountains of Cibola National Forest, Ojo Redondo Campground offers a cool, high-elevation retreat surrounded by ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and aspen trees. The campground sits southwest of Mt. Sedgwick, the highest peak in the Zuni Mountains, and features approximately 15 campsites arranged in loops with a scenic meadow at the headwaters of Ojo Redondo Canyon adjacent to the campground. The remote setting provides excellent opportunities for solitude and nature observation, with the surrounding forest being ideal for photography, bird watching, and wildflower walks. The area offers great access to old logging roads popular with hiking and mountain biking enthusiasts, as well as hunting opportunities. This is a pack-in, pack-out facility with no trash services. Access requires driving forest roads from Thoreau, and visitors should be prepared for potential road challenges due to the elevation and precipitation. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no fees or reservations. Some sites are large enough to accommodate full-sized RVs, though vehicles over 25 feet may find maneuvering difficult.
Directions
Take Exit 53 at Thoreau and drive south on NM State Highway 612 past Bluewater Lake. The road becomes FR 178 at the Forest boundary. Continue south on FR 178 for 8 miles to the junction with FR 480. Turn east and drive two miles to the campground entrance on the right.
