Planning Notes

⚠️ MARGINAL: posted 18 ft max due to steep, narrow unpaved forest road. A 16 ft trailer is technically within limit but this is a road-condition call — strongly recommend calling (505) 387-2328 for current road status before attempting. Closed Nov–Feb. No hookups; central water spigot; no dump station.

Contact: (505) 387-2328

Always call ahead to confirm conditions, closures, and road accessibility.
