Highlights

▶ Largest (30 sites) of the Silver-Saddle-Apache campground complex off FR 24C — highest chance of finding space
▶ Rim Trail access; ponderosa pine forest; interconnected trail system with Saddle and Apache CGs
▶ Best value in the Cloudcroft complex — same trail network, same elevation, more sites

Planning Notes

FR 24C is gravel, 2WD-passable. Same complex as Saddle and Apache CGs (all on same road); choose based on site availability. Water and vault toilets. Cloudcroft (2 mi) for full services.
