This is a beautiful location close to Ruidoso. The views are wonderful, and the campgrounds are expansive. However, the entire camp is covered in stinging nettle, so campers beware of wearing shorts. Furthermore, a heard of wild horses decended upon the camp, spooking pets and children and stealing food.
Beautiful. We had so much fun. Waking up to mountain views is indescribable. A heard of wild horses walked right up to us. Can’t wait to go back!
Quiet, nice toilets, breezy though for late April. Doesn't seem used much. There was a fire up here before. Lots of dead burnt woods. Careful during dry season. Right now it's cold and we're not allowed to have a campfire. FD stopped by, said it was a $500 fine. No snow as of 20 April. Wild horse near by. Most importantly, full LTE on Verizon up here.
Wow. I stayed here one night, 4/5/2022. What an experience. I went all the way to the lookout when I first ascended; not a single person in sight. I went back down to the first skyline campground and was amazed at the views. Unfortunately a strong wind storm took me and my tent out at 4:30AM, but besides the wind, I’ll be back. Clean, bathrooms, fire pits, and plenty of hiking.
there's nothing here! it's so great! just a lot of nature, and some very primitive camping. my friends and i had a sled of drinks chilling in snow as we cooked steaks and silver turtles. there are a few trails that we didn't bother with, but that was ok. the view was spectacular. really, all we used in the campsite was the fire pit that someone else had made, as we enjoyed the wonderful view from our spot.
