Free dump right outside Medicine Lake Recreation Area. It has a non-potable water spigot that wasn't turned on when we were there early July (the campgrounds in the recreation area only opened late June). There's also pit toilets in the dump area.... Read more

This is the only free campground in the Medicine Lake Recreation Area. There are 3 - 4 other campgrounds around the actual lake, but they cost ~$14/night. We stayed in the area, just not at this campground. All the campgrounds in the area just... Read more

The GPS coordinates above are a little bit off for this campground. The entrance is actually at: 39.931146, -121.042357. We were planning to stay at here, but decided not to once we arrived. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice little campground.... Read more

The water spigot was turned on when we recently used it. There's a $5 donation request. There's also a large parking lot next to the dump station in case you want to take a break by the lake. It's a really nice area.

We actually got to meet a whole bunch of Continental Divide Trail (CDT) thru-hikers while we stayed here since they all had to walk across the big field we were boondocked at. We even gave one hiker a ride into Silver City when we left. While... Read more

The park ranger told us we could stay overnight at any of the parking lots in the national monument. We chose to stay at the parking lot at the cliff dwelling trailhead (which wasn't an issue because it wasn't busy during the day time). It was the... Read more

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... Read more

We came to scout it out on April 30, but the gate was closed. There wasn't cell signal at the entrance to Oak Grove, but we don't know if there's any at the actual campground. My star rating obviously doesn't mean much since we couldn't get in.... Read more

This spot is a loop at the dead end of a residential road. There aren't any actual "sites" to pull off into, so it's just boondocking on the road. Smaller rigs (van, small travel trailers, truck campers) could easily fit and not be in the way. Our... Read more

Nothing special about this park, but it worked for a one night stay. There isn't a sign for "San Antonio Bosque Park" off Hwy 380, instead turn at the second yellow cattle grate if you're coming from Interstate 25 (in addition to using the GPS... Read more
