Cuchillo Del Medio Campground

This campground is right off the road when driving up into the Taos Ski Valley. There are kinda two areas of it that you can't drive between; two different driveways if you will. We stayed in the southern one.

These sites are free and you can stay for up to two weeks consecutively.

Shade and riverside ambient noise is unbeatable. Super peaceful apart from the occasional vehicle on the road. Pit toilet restrooms were in the northern half of the campground, just a little walk from where we were. Some of the sites involve rather steep "driveways" to park, so be mindful of what your vehicle is capable of. Bring all the water you'll need; there is none in the campground.

Such a relaxing place to be.

Cozy campsite with only two RV spots but multiple shares campgrounds. Facilities are limited with only fire pits, two tables and a dry toilet. No water.

There is a river running by it for those with filters. Due to the small number of space, be ready to have a plan B on campgrounds.

We came in mid July and temps were great at night with a strong stream. Allows easy access to Wheeler peak hike.

Nice area for the family to camp and fish water is easy to get to

Beautiful place, running river,wonderful canyon , great place to campn fish.

So good!

Very clean and peaceful

Best camping !

One of the better outdoor unisex toilets with plenty of toilet paper and locking door. Nice picnic tables close to rushing water. Room for several vehicles to park. Beautiful location.

The campground is small but each site has a picnic table. There is a toilet (no running water) but it was closed when I arrived I think it off season -mid May. The nice thing is the stream that is next to the campground which flows and just adds to the nuance.

This dispersed campground is easy to find on the road to Taos Ski Valley. The sites are on the south east side of the road. The speed limit is 30 mph most of the way so they don't sneak up on you. This campground is best for cars and SUVs, half of the sites are not accessible with a motorhome, trailer or car. There is a bathroom but no garbage service here. This is the end of June and the Rio Hondo flows along side the sites with plenty of water to wade in. The water is cool and clear with bever sign everywhere. Look out for bears and no fires of any kind! We love to Forrest so camp responsibly!

Handy location but very close to highway to Ski Basin.
