El Porvenir Campground

We wish we could’ve stayed here longer! We loved this campground. Came here on a bit of faith, as we couldn’t find much info on whether our size rig would be okay. We have a pick up truck pulling a 27’ trailer. The road up from Montezuma/Las Vegas is very winding and sometimes close to one lane, but we had no problems when there was oncoming traffic. (Note the campground host had a class A, perhaps he drove up from the other direction?) The campground is small and quiet. 14 sites, several for tents only, and a few pull through. First come first serve. We were lucky that the campground was empty when we arrived, so we had our choice of spots. Not all sites would’ve fit our trailer. No hookups, no water, pit toilets only. No cell service. Our kids loved playing in the gorgeous mountain stream adjacent to the campground. (Just watch out for broken glass, we found quite a bit) Would’ve definitely stayed longer if we had time.

This is easy to get to, though the twisty road gets narrower and narrower as you go. The pavement ends just before the campground. Keep right for the Forest Service campground rather than the private Christian campground. Most of the sites are on the small side, though there are a couple of pull-throughs. There are also three walk-in tent sites. No cell signal.
