Angel Peak Campground

On my way through New Mexico into Colorado I needed a stopping point. This spot was great and free! The road in is very wide and smooth, no washboard when I went. There are only about 4 spots that could fit my 21ft trailer. I came on April 9th around 2pm, and by the end of day all spots were full. The overlooks are beautiful though and... more

Road was totally fine, sorry for the last two peeps calling it too washboarded - thought the gravel road was smoother than the highways and made it up doing 45 in the dark easy in my Promaster. AMAZING VIEW. Clean site, adorable rock pathways to ledges. Picnic areas. Somewhere in the top campsites I’ve visited. Loved.

I didn't stay overnight as I had to hit the road early in the morning and I didn't want to start my day being bounced around by the washboard roads. I wouldn't say the roads are impassable by any sort of vehicle, just uncomfortable. I didn't drive clear out to the camping area but I did get to the 3rd overlook (Castle Rock). At that ov... more

I do all the planning for our on-the-road life, so I'm usually better prepared for road conditions. However, very few reviews mention the atrocious washboard roads coming in. Yes, I know I know...it's free BLM land, but holy cow the roads for the first 2.5 miles were really bad (worried about our truck and camper bad). Thankfully, af... more

We arrived at sunset after two previous apots did not work out between Cuba and Bloomfield and only went as far as the first parking area off the road. Leveling with great view down into the canyon. Only stayed one night.

when you first turn off highway looks like a industrial site. lots of trucks, cranes etc
but keep going! really amazing vistas. nice covered picnic area is where we camped.

We felt the view was even better at the picnic areas than at the campground so we went back to the picnic area to spend the night. We were joined by one other camper and had a wonderful view as well as an awesome sunset! Follow the signs for the turn off of State Route 550 as our GPS told us to continue another mile before turning. ... more

There were a few other tent campers already set up when we arrived. Rather remote but offered picnic tables and fire pits at the spot we pulled into about 3 in from the entrance. Perfect for tent or truck camping but a bit small for any type of trailer. Had a wonderfully cool clear stay.
