Round Valley Campground

Aysha

We camped on Oct 18 permit required both for camp and stove, nice hike in and experience, there were other hikers and campers around that was nice, note theres only one water faucet around at the entry. A bit hard to find the campsites, and it got freezing cold at night.

Very peaceful place. Campsites are very far apart. It is a tough, up and down, two mile hike to get here from the tram. Water is available from a spring that is not always guaranteed to be flowing. You are up high at 9000 feet and storms can be sudden during the monsoon season. Pit toilets are nice but spread far apart. Make sure to speak to the park ranger and get a permit before venturing into the campsite. Bears are not an issue on this side of the mountain.

Camped here over the weekend as a part of a training hike for a Philmont trek. It is a hard hike with just about 4,000 ft of elevation gain. The campsites are not really conducive to large group camping as they terrain is very rough, but we did find a couple close together that worked for our group of 17 backpackers.

Great backpacking campground. There is a pipe for water (you need to filter) and the campsites are separated. Did not see or hear other campers.

Overall great! However, had a difficult time understanding where to set camp. According to instructions it should be 25ft within the wooden post (See picture attached) However it was not clear any indications if where I set camp was correct. For hikers looking to camp here, if you do please post a review and a picture of where you camped to facilitate the location of the campsites. I did C2C and it was hard to focus to find a spot.
