Rob Jaggers Campground

Can a campground be both a haven for equestrians and a launchpad for adventurers seeking diverse outdoor activities? Rob Jaggers Campground proves it can. Set within the stunning landscapes of the Fort Stanton-Snowy River Cave National Conservation Area in southern New Mexico, this campground boasts 27 campsites with electricity and potable water, complemented by several water outlets and two large day-use parking areas catering to equestrian staging and group use.

The campground is an excellent choice for those seeking a mix of modern comfort and outdoor exploration. Situated near 73 miles of multi-use trails, visitors can hike, mountain bike, or ride horseback through meadows and canyons with vistas of the Sacramento and Capitan Mountains. On-site amenities include vault toilets, a group shelter with water and electricity, and hitching rails for horses. The area’s high desert terrain showcases diverse flora like junipers and cacti, and the surrounding conservation area offers opportunities for wildlife viewing, photography, and nature study. While Fort Stanton Cave is closed to the public for conservation, its historical significance and proximity enhance the area’s unique charm.

Conveniently located less than 10 minutes from the historic Fort Stanton Museum and within a short drive of the towns of Capitan and Lincoln, the campground provides easy access to a blend of cultural history and natural beauty. Whether for a peaceful weekend getaway, an equestrian retreat, or a base for extended exploration, Rob Jaggers Campground delivers a distinctively rich camping experience.
