Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights2 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
The setting feeds directly into the activities: anglers can fish local streams and the nearby San Gregorio Reservoir, while hikers and backpackers use Rio de las Vacas as a convenient base for explorations of the San Pedro Parks Wilderness. The wilderness has gentle grade changes on its trails and three principal trailheads San Gregorio, Palomas and Los Pinos all within driving distance, making both day hikes and beginner-friendly backpacking trips practical from the campground.














Length limits vary by campsite.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (3,884 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
