Bosque Redondo Park

Have you ever camped in a place where tranquility and history come together in perfect harmony? Bosque Redondo Park, located just south of Fort Sumner, New Mexico, offers a no-frills camping experience rooted in natural beauty and cultural significance. This small, unassuming campground is ideal for campers seeking peace and a connection to the area's storied past.

The campground features spacious, well-maintained sites equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, catering to both tent campers and RV travelers. While the facilities are basic with no electric hookups or drinking water, their simplicity adds to the park's tranquil charm. A small fishing pond, stocked with catfish and trout, provides a serene setting for anglers, while wildlife sightings, including coyotes and bobcats, add an element of adventure. The park's flat terrain can be windy, making it an excellent spot for stargazing under clear desert skies.

Situated a few miles from Fort Sumner, Bosque Redondo Park is an ideal base to explore the area's rich history. Nearby attractions include the Bosque Redondo Memorial, which commemorates the tragic Long Walk of the Navajo people, and the Billy the Kid Museum, just a short drive away in Fort Sumner. Whether you're stopping for a restful night or indulging in a slower-paced weekend retreat, Bosque Redondo Park offers a simple yet rewarding escape into New Mexico's high plains.
