The Bisti Badlands (Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness) isn't in a city but is located in northwestern New Mexico, about 40 miles south of the city of Farmington, New Mexico, accessible via State Highway 371 and a gravel road. It's a remote, undeveloped wilderness area known for unique hoodoos and petrified wood. There is no designated camping site and you'll need to put up some sort of horse containment. The ground is too hard to drive in hot wire posts. The pin on the map is the exact place we set up camp. This is not a place you'll go to enjoy a campground. It's a place you'll enjoy a beautiful moon like landscape. This is well worth the effort.

This is a wonderful place to stay in so many ways.

Canyon Trails Ranch Campground is a rider-friendly spot just outside of Cortez, Colorado, and a convenient base for exploring the area. Getting into the campground isn’t too bad as long as you take it slow and plan your turn, especially with a trailer. The campsites are very open with no shade at all, giving it a true high-desert feel with plenty of sagebrush around most sites. One thing to be aware of is the layout of the hookups: the power pedestal and water spigot are on the opposite side of where you back in. It doesn’t affect maneuvering, but it does mean you’ll want extra-long power cords and water hoses to reach comfortably. Overall, it’s a straightforward, easy campground that works well if you come prepared for the sun, the exposure, and the hookup layout.

This is dry camping in designated camping area. There is no water, but there is a stream nearby (500 ft) where you can pump water into containers if you run out.

Notes to come.

This campground is located at Hermit Park just outside of Estes Park, CO.

Camping at Mesa County Fairgrounds and trailering out to the trailheads.

This is a great place to stay while enjoying Bryce.

Camping at Picket Wire Trailhead offers peaceful, primitive sites with starry nights and curious cattle visitors. Horseback riding to the dinosaur tracks is a leisurely adventure through stunning canyons, revealing ancient wonders.

This is an amazing campground!

Tarryall–Badger Flats is one of our favorite places to camp because of the variety of riding options right from camp. On several trips, we’ve simply saddled up and ridden straight out of Badger Flats, spending full days exploring nearby trails without ever needing to move the trucks. In the fall, when the weather is cooler and the aspens are turning, we’ll sometimes bring a second truck with our bumper-pull trailer and haul out to different trailheads for day rides. This gives us access to an even wider range of terrain while still keeping Badger Flats as our home base. Trailheads we’ve trailered to while camping at Tarryall–Badger Flats include: Twin Eagles Trailhead (Brookside–McCurdy Trail) – 16 miles from camp Mueller State Park – 26 miles from camp Dome Rock State Wildlife Area Trailhead – 27 miles from camp Goose Creek Trailhead – 29 miles from camp Horse Thief Park Trailhead – 29 miles from camp Whether riding straight out of camp or trailering to nearby trailheads, Badger Flats offers excellent flexibility and makes it easy to tailor each trip to the season, weather, and riding goals.

Great place to stay for riding in the Tetons.
