Holy Ghost Group Area

Nestled high in the Santa Fe National Forest, the Holy Ghost Group Area offers a secluded escape on the edge of the breathtaking Pecos Wilderness. At an elevation of 8,268 feet, this site provides a serene mountain atmosphere where the tranquil sounds of Holy Ghost Creek accompany your stay. The rugged, forested terrain makes it an ideal destination for those looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of New Mexico’s high country.

This federal campground is designed to accommodate groups, offering essential amenities including vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings for evening gatherings. The area serves as a gateway to adventure, featuring direct access to local fishing spots and an extensive network of trails perfect for hikers and horseback riders. Whether you are planning a group excursion or a rugged outdoor retreat, the site provides a functional basecamp for exploring the wilderness.

While the area is managed by the USFS and remains open year-round, it is best suited for those comfortable with primitive conditions, as there are no utility hookups available. It is an excellent choice for tent campers and groups who appreciate a rustic experience and proximity to some of the Southwest’s most stunning landscapes.
