The campground is located in a setting of pinon, juniper, gambel oak, and mature ponderosa pine trees, approximately 10 miles northeast of Grants. A loop road winds through the area providing access to the campsites and the 0.25 mile nature trail. A historic bridge built by the Job Corps in 1967-1968 provides entrance to the trail. The 11,301 feet peak of Mount Taylor, the highest point in northwest New Mexico, can be seen if you drive past the campground on State Highway 547 (FR239). Remember to pay attention to road conditions and your vehicle's abilities before driving off of the main road.
