This park is located on I-25 in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, about an hour away from Santa Fe and 78 mi from Taos. The rural campground, just 4 mi south of historic Las Vegas, New Mexico, offers views of the Pecos Wilderness and the huge ranches on the plains below. Peaks in the wilderness can range in elevation from 8,400 ft to 13,100 ft. Travelers along the Santa Fe Trail used to arrive on horseback or by wagon to this frontier town. Today, wagon-wheel ruts, 900 historic buildings and the Fort Union National Monument highlight the area’s past. Lakes and a national wildlife refuge showcase its natural wonders. Enjoy a hot breakfast buffet year-round. Have your reunion or get-together in the pavilion. Find Southwest souvenirs and Mexican art in the campground store.
