Cebolla Mesa Campground
Cebolla Mesa Campground
Cebolla Mesa Campground offers five primitive, free first-come-first-served sites perched 800 feet above the Rio Grande Gorge in a piñon-juniper woodland, with the Cebolla Mesa Trail providing direct access down to the river for fishing.
Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring, with vault toilets available, though there is no potable water—visitors must bring all water needed. Access is via Forest Road 9, a rough 3.
4-mile dirt/gravel road that can be hazardous in muddy conditions and is slow for trailers, with the campground typically open May through October depending on snow conditions.
