Holy Ghost Campground


Area Status: Closed

This 23 site Campground is situated in a beautiful steep canyon right along Holy Ghost Creek, 16 miles north of Pecos on NM 63 and FR 122. 

Facilities: vaulted toilets, trash bins, tables and grills.

 

Avoid driving off the pavement on the high bank (uphill side) of the road to protect endangered plant habitat. Take only photos of flowers, do not pick them. Leaving them provides for pollinators (butterflies and bees) and seeds for next year’s flowers.

Please remove mud, seeds, vegetation and debris from everything (vehicles, stock, tents, blankets, clothes, etc.) before entering the Santa Fe National Forest, especially Holy Ghost Canyon, to prevent the spread of invasive plants and weeds.
