Quaking Aspen campground offers a respite from the heat in a setting of aspen
and mature ponderosa pine trees. Approximately 6 miles south of Fort Wingate,
this is the most recently renovated campground on the Mt. Taylor Ranger
District. The area has a rich history of railroad logging and the original
town of McGaffey was built in the vicinity of McGaffey Lake a few miles down
the road. Pay attention to road conditions and your vehicle's abilities before
driving off of the main road.

Quaking Aspen Campground

This campground is situated in what was once the historic railroad logging and
sawmill town of McGaffey. McGaffey Campground was built in 1937 and lies west
of the Continental Divide in the Zuni Mountains, at an elevation of
approximately 8,000 feet. It is the largest of the Mt. Taylor Ranger District
campgrounds and has a volunteer host on site. Mature ponderosa pine trees
provide scenic settings and shade, while small hills provide some privacy.
Follow the road past the entrance, staying to the right to access the Oso and
Page overnight sites.

Remember to pay attention to road conditions and your vehicle's abilities
before driving off of the main road. Please be respectful of our historic
heritage as you explore the area.
