Lower Hondo Campground

The bathroom was dirty and smelled horrible. We camped just up the road from here in a dispersed site and our cooler with all our food was stolen on the first afternoon. There are sketchy people around, and the police were not surprised that this happened. Do not leave your stuff out anywhere in campsites in the Taos ski valley. I do not recommend camping anywhere in there.

Good location if you're hiking nearby, but only three official campsites. Sites are first come, first served, and can be held for up to two weeks without payment or penalty, so don't expect a site to be available, especially during busy weekends. Sites official sites have a picnic table and fire ring, with one vault toilet nearby. Ready access to stream water but no treated water. There are additional "dispersed" sites nearby, but those will not have the table or fire ring.

It's a chill spot with a great mountain view and the calming sounds of a moving stream. Not too far from all the trails. Has a fire pit and vault restroom. I would definitely stay there again. It's a popular spot so you gotta get there early to get a campsite as it's first come first serve.

Camped here at least a dozen times over the years, surprise it's still clean. Very quiet and the river can drown out the traffic that isn't that much to begin with.. Now in early to mid fall it gets damp and chilly due to the creek and temp drop, not much sunlight. Never had any bad experiences other than Chipmunks chewing through my North face Sea Bag on my motorcycle, Don't Feed the wild life.
