Details

I am doing a camping trip to Orilla Verde and Red River. You can choose to come to all or part of this trip and feel free to book whatever accommodations you like nearby if you do not want to camp.

You must book your own accommodations/ campsites.

I will have my 3 dogs with me.

I plan to leave Tuesday the 18th after work and get a site at one of the campground in Orilla Verde rec area off the Rio Grande. These sites are first come first serve. I am hoping to get a spot in either Lone Juniper or Petaca. I plan to camp at this site until Friday.

Friday I plan to drive part of the Enchanted Circle scenic drive from Orilla Verde to Eagles Nest and then to my campsite at Fawn Lake just 2.6 miles from Red River. I got campsite 8. Must book your own site or any other accommodations you like in Red River.
