Elephant Rock Campground

Nestled among towering pine trees at an elevation of 8,400 feet, Elephant Rock Campground offers a serene escape in the heart of the New Mexico high country. This USFS-managed site is uniquely positioned for outdoor enthusiasts, providing direct access to the well-stocked Red River and proximity to Eagle Rock Lake. Whether you are looking to cast a line in the water or explore the rugged beauty of the surrounding wilderness, the campground serves as an ideal base camp for your mountain getaway.

The campground features essential amenities to keep your stay comfortable, including vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings for evening gatherings. While the site remains open year-round, it offers a rustic, off-grid experience without utility hookups, making it perfect for tent campers and self-contained RV travelers who enjoy a more traditional approach to nature.

Adventure is always nearby, with the accessible Fawn Lakes Trail located just a short distance to the east. This campground is best suited for those who appreciate a quiet, natural setting and easy access to high-country recreation. Its convenient location near the highway makes it an accessible yet immersive destination for families and solo travelers alike.
