Great place to dry camp. We camped in 32 foot 5th wheel, we would fit in many sites. We were in #3. We picked that for solar and starlink. There was some road noise due to gravel trucks and a cattle guard.

Beautiful area! This is a super clean, well maintained (lightly used?) campground in some beautiful high elevation wilderness. Super easy access and friendly park rangers :) Please clean up your messes and don’t vandalize anything. :)

This is a hidden gem for mountain biking enthusiasts. Miles of fun, easy (blue) trails. The campsite is super clean and well maintained. There usually are very few other campers, so it's usually quiet. There's no running water, so be adequately prepared. The pit toilets are clean. The self-pay fee is very low; $10 (as of this review). We've been stopping here for many years. Beautiful area, but if you're not a trail rider or hiker, you might be bored. Verizon service is spotty, at best.

Clean, almost groomed campground. 20 sites each with concrete picnic tables, gravel tent pads, level (or almost) driveway. No hook-ups but at $5 a night it was great! Lots of highway traffic but trees blocked the noise mostly. Sites spaced away from everyone else.

Beautiful site & with Access Pass, camping was only $2.50 a night! "Quaking Aspen campground offers a respite from the heat in a setting of aspen and mature ponderosa pine trees. Approximately 6 miles south of Fort Wingate, this is the most recently renovated campground on the Mt. Taylor Ranger District. The area has a rich history of railroad logging and the original town of McGaffey was built in the vicinity of McGaffey Lake a few miles down the road." We visited McGaffey Lake but it was dried up & not much of a lake anymore.
