Clear Creek Campground (Nm)

This was our second visit to Clear Creek this season. It really is a gorgeous campground with great views. Because it's a cattle lease area, there aren't many — if any — trails that you need to stick to. Just nice forest and meadows. There are some trails that the cows use that work well to get you pointed in the right direction. Most of the sites are spaced well apart from neighbors, though if you were wanting to hang out with friends, there are a few that are relatively close and, of course, there is a group site with a huge gazebo. The only downside for us was no electrical hookups and our site (005) was too shaded for our solar panel to charge. Noise from the main road was annoying, but not constant. And while the water is delicious, there is no connection to run a hose to camper or water jugs: it's a pump that's far enough above the ground that it's virtually impossible to fill water jugs, especially 5-6 gallon ones. Fortunately, the campground is close enough to Albuquerque that it wasn't too bad just putting 15 gallons in our camper's water tank before we left home; it really didn't seem to affect the gas milage that much. We definitely plan to come back next year.

This campground is in the best location for lots of hiking and taking out the truck on some really good forest roads with some beautiful views. Will definitely come back

I enjoyed my short visit to clear creek campground. I came on a motorcycle from the west (Cuba) and the road is paved all the way to the campground. The site had a nice area for my tent and it was mostly level. The bathrooms were in good shape, clean, well stocked with TP, and they smelled good (like an air freshener). There are bear style (locking) trash bins by the bathroom. There was no cell phone service at the camp. This camp is at high elevation and it was 40 degrees in the morning when I woke up. I didn't hear any cows the other reviews talk about but I did hear some elk bugling in the distance. There was a camp host but he never came by that I noticed.

Campground was recently paved. Sites are level & roomy. Vault toilets clean. It is a pretty steep grade getting there from Cuba ~ about 11 miles.

Very nice and quiet place!

What a GEM!! very well maintained area (except for the fire ring was not cleaned out), it was nice and quite and will add this to our list of places to camp. Can't wait to go again!
