About This Location

Discover Junebug Campground, a rustic, year-round USFS site near New Mexico's historic Red River mining district, perfect for adventurous campers.

Nestled near the historic Red River mining district, Junebug Campground offers a rugged, back-to-basics escape in the heart of New Mexico. This recently refurbished roadside site provides a convenient home base for those looking to explore the nearby downhill ski resorts and the scenic high-country landscape. Because it is a federal campground managed by the USFS, it maintains a primitive atmosphere that emphasizes the natural beauty of the Southwest terrain.

Potential visitors should be aware that this is a primitive site with no hookups or listed amenities, making it best suited for self-sufficient tent campers and those comfortable with car camping.
