Santa Barbara Campground

Santa Barbara Campground offers a serene, primitive retreat located directly on the edge of the expansive Pecos Wilderness. This unique setting places campers alongside the Rio Santa Barbara, a beautiful and healthy trout stream that provides a tranquil backdrop for your stay. Whether you are looking to immerse yourself in the natural landscape or seeking a peaceful base for your outdoor adventures, this site captures the rugged beauty of the New Mexico Southwest.

The campground is well-suited for those who appreciate a rustic experience, featuring 15 single sites, two double sites, and one triple site. Each designated area is equipped with a table and a fire ring to accommodate your basic outdoor needs. Vault toilets are available on-site for convenience, though campers should be prepared for a truly primitive experience as no utility hookups are provided.

This location is an ideal choice for hikers and horseback riders who want quick, direct access to the trails leading into the Pecos Wilderness and toward Jicarita Peak. It is best suited for tent campers or those with smaller RVs who enjoy a quiet, back-to-basics atmosphere in a stunning wilderness environment.
