Orilla Verde Recreation Area

Rob Campellone

We spent a night at the Rio Pueblo Primitive Campground at the Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument’s Orilla Verde Recreation Area. We weren’t expecting to have to find a spot at the end of the road but all of the other campgrounds were full. Fortunately our van has high clearance because the only campsite left in the campground had rocks protruding out of the ground. It turned out to be a great campsite: very isolated from road traffic and within a short walk to the Rio Pueblo (which is more like a stream).

Wonderful place very peaceful even though there was other campers all were polite & kept to selfs very clean no trash anywhere had no phone service in campground but short ride allows service, only bad thing to say but should be expected was after sun down insane amounts of mosquitoes

Wow, incredibly beautiful. It's also incredibly popular on a Sunday in May, but understandably so. Get there early..
