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.
Recreation at Nizhoni and the surrounding forest is varied: nearby trailheads such as Shay Ridge, Aspen Flat and Red Ledges put quality day hikes within easy reach, while wildlife viewing is reliable (mule deer, wild turkeys, Abert's squirrels and the occasional black bear). The Abajo Loop State Scenic Backway passes the campground and climbs from the red-rock canyons of the desert floor up toward peaks above 10,000 feet the byway offers overlooks and changing landscapes and is generally suitable for passenger vehicles from late spring through fall but is not recommended for large RVs.














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 (1,382 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.
