Bert Clancy Campground Introduce
Nestled along the scenic river in Tererro, New Mexico, Bert Clancy Campground offers a rustic camping experience for those seeking a connection with nature. This campground is perfect for adventurers who appreciate the simplicity of first-come-first-serve camping and the beauty of a riverside setting. While amenities are minimal, the natural surroundings provide a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Bert Clancy Campground is known for its ease of access and the opportunity to enjoy activities like fishing along the river. However, visitors should be prepared for a bare-bones experience, as the campground features vault toilets, fire pits (though fires may be prohibited at times), and limited privacy between sites. The lack of level tent pads and picnic tables adds to the rugged charm but may require some adjustments for comfort.
Customer feedback highlights the beautiful setting and the ease of camping, with many appreciating the first-come-first-serve policy. However, some reviews point out concerns about cleanliness and security, so visitors are encouraged to take precautions with their belongings. Despite these challenges, the natural beauty of the area, especially after some trash cleanup, makes it a worthwhile destination for those seeking a rustic retreat.

Beautiful setting right along the river! Bare bones - vault toilets, fire pit (though fires may be prohibited), no privacy between camp sites, no picnic table. No sites were level, and no clear tent pads. The place was pretty trashy - we picked a site that had trash, a stuffed animal toy, a milk crate, and a watermelon rind. Then, a pitiful dog with bloody tumors coming out of her eyes was wandering around the camp ground, waiting for food and scavenging whatever she could find. My boyfriend and I debated whether to take the dog to a shelter, and when a state employee drove through we asked her if she knew about the dog. Yes, apparently the dog belongs to the person who lives near the entrance of the park, and the dog is known to beg for food. So, that was hella depressing. Seems like a popular spot for fishing, so maybe someone will steal that dog - she’s a good sweet girl! The natural setting - 4 stars (although it’s also right next to the road), 5 stars after we picked up trash down by the river Ease of camping (first come first serve) - 5 stars Amenities - 2 stars (that’s being generous - the ladies toilet does NOT lock) Animal neglect - there’s a special place in hell for some folks
Stolen gear. Definitely not secure for camping. Wouldn't recommend leaving your camp site to fish or putting anything outside while sleeping. We had to drive down the road for cell service to make an important call, we came back to our stuff gone. With the road right there anyone can pull in load up and drive off. It was late, getting dark and pouring rain we were only gone for maybe 40 mins.
If you have a RV ,travel trailer or 5th wheel I absolutely don't recommend this campsite!!! Every site is soo uneven pretty much impossible to get level, I bent two of my stabilizer trying. The area the surly beautiful but I would not waste my time till the state invested little time and leveled out these campsites.
Great spot for fishing access if that's your jam. Sites are long and tight and slightly uphill so note that if you are in an RV or camper with no level kits. Road can be a bit narrow on your way there so be aware if in a big rig. Bathrooms well stocked and clean, quiet area. Beware for kids/dogs that it butts right up against the 2 lane local road with no fencing.
Very nice and very clean! Great place to fish but I wish there was more shade.
