Highlights

▶ Three separate campgrounds (Pine, Sims Mesa, San Juan River) — the only significant public camping between Chaco NHP and the Colorado border
▶ World-class gold-medal San Juan River tailwater trout fishery below the dam; lake-side boating and water sports
▶ Pine and Sims Mesa sites have hookups and accommodate trailers; ideal anchor for a Four Corners circuit

Planning Notes

San Juan River campground sites are walk-in tent-only — trailer campers use Pine or Sims Mesa. From Austin: ~11.5 hrs via Albuquerque → US-550 N to Bloomfield area. Reserve hookup sites in advance for summer and holiday weekends.
