Camping at Nizhoni

Public campground · 21 campsites · 2 group

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

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.

How far ahead to book Nizhoni

For September weekends, book about 97 days ahead. Three in four September Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 23 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least

August31 days ahead76 days ahead40 days ahead106 days ahead
September23 days ahead97 days ahead46 days ahead122 days ahead

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.
