Cave Canyon Campground

The road is washboarded so it's a bit bumpy coming in, but it's not a big deal if you go slow and put your tires in the right spot. It's a small campground with only three sites that have covered picnic shelters and are large enough for an RV (two of which are pull-through sites). There were two fire grates in between the covered sites that might be for tenters.

The whole campground was extremely clean, but we were particularly impressed by the pit toilet which looked like it was newly renovated and the cleanest pit toilet I've ever seen.

It's a really quiet spot with easy access to a variety of trails (paper maps are available at the kiosk by the cave entrance) that can be hiked or mountain biked. There are great views from the trails of the surrounding mountains. The cave was still closed to the public when we stayed there.

Fresh water and a dump station are available (for a fee) at Rob Jaggers Camping Area right down the road (I wouldn't recommend staying there if you don't need electricity because of the horse smells).

If you can't find space in the campground to turn around (in case all the spots are taken), keep driving straight and there'll be an intersection that'll give you enough space to make a 3-point turn.

We loved this spot. Only downfalls were the bumpy road in (not too bad though) and that the spots were not level at all. Definitely make sure you have some way to manually adjust. Bathroom was out of order, so can't comment on that. And the cave is permanently closed due to white-nose syndrome, so don't visit solely to explore that because it is fenced off now.

But the nearby trails and views are totally worth any little inconveniences. It was a truly beautiful place. There was one other van while we were there, but they kept to themselves.

Definitely check out nearby Fort Stanton if you go exploring.
