After rave reviews by Drivin' & Vibin' on You Tube, their website and Campendium, Cebolla Mesa was on my hit list. I was not disappointed.
I was able to get the best campsite at the far left of the trailhead, right at the edge of the cliff. Not only does that site have the best views, it's also the largest. As others have stated the campground doesn't accommodate large RVs. I saw two different Casita trailers during the week and they are perfect for this campground.
Overall, it doesn't appear that this campground gets a lot of campers. There were day hikers and fishermen every day but not many campers. The toilet was in need of maintenance and the road in is slow and rough when towing a trailer.
The views, the hike to the river and the quietness make this an amazing camping experience. ( Note, AT&T coverage was in and out.)

I did not prepared for this location enough in terms of time, this site is remote enough to make you feel like you are miles from civilization but you can still get signal for most major mobile phone providers networks.

I did not prepared for this location enough in terms of time, this site is remote enough to make you feel like you are miles from civilization but you can still get signal for most major mobile phone providers networks. The road in was no bad but for my heavy and wide cargo trailer it was very slow going towards the end after crossing the cattle guard. I would recommend trailer smaller than 20' in length with ground clearance, though I is technically possible to put a larger rig in this location... be warned turning around can be difficult and if it rains or snows I would not recommend this location for anything other than a van or compact rig. I wish I had more time to explore but I got here late and left early. I did notice the vault toilet smelled ok but it looked like someone cleaned out the TP and left a bunch of empty bottles in there. From other reviews it seems like the restroom is normally clean. I would recommend this location for someone into hiking,the views of the river below the campsite were amazing and there was a lot of traffic for hiking out from the parking lot.

Cebolla Mesa Campground is located down a 3 mile dirt road - passable by all cars, but bumpy at times. There are 3-4 sites that can fit an RV. Smaller Class A's could probably make it down here and fit in one site, but I wouldn't suggest it. The scenery is amazing. We're camped just 30 feet from the cliffs of the Rio Grande Gorge. ... more

The scenery is amazing. We're camped just 30 feet from the cliffs of the Rio Grande Gorge.
There is a vault toilet on site.
We received 4G LTE on our AT&T and T-Mobile devices without out a booster, but the booster increased speeds a little bit.
