About This Location

Discover Ojo Redondo, a scenic, high-altitude U.S. Forest Service site in the Zuni Mountains perfect for those seeking a rustic, off-grid camping experience.

Nestled at an elevation of 8,816 feet southwest of Mt. Sedgwick, Ojo Redondo Campground offers a quintessential high-mountain retreat. This U.S. Forest Service site is defined by its pristine surroundings, featuring a beautiful mix of ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and aspen trees. A scenic meadow sits adjacent to the camping area, providing a tranquil backdrop for visitors looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in the rugged beauty of the Zuni Mountains.

As a primitive, federal campground, Ojo Redondo is strictly for those who enjoy a true off-grid experience. There are no hookups or listed amenities, making it ideal for self-sufficient tent campers who prefer a moderate challenge and a quiet, natural environment.

This site is best suited for experienced campers who value solitude and simplicity over modern conveniences. Whether you are looking for a basecamp for mountain exploration or a quiet spot to enjoy the high-altitude air, Ojo Redondo provides a raw, authentic connection to the New Mexico wilderness.
