Cimarrona Campground
Cimarrona Campground is located next to Cimarrona Creek with views of the meadow and Williams Reservior to the south. The campground has 21 sites. There are both sunny and shady sites to choose from as well as a few sites that can handle large-sized RVs. It’s only a short walk to fish in the creek. The campground is adjacent to the Cimarrona Trailhead.
Dispersed camping is not allowed within 300 yards of the campground.
One visitor reported, "Most sites are well treed and private; it is near the end of the road, so not much road noise. Can see the reservoir from sites, but it's a good walk, or short drive to get to. I'd rank this one even with Teal...This is more private, but Teal has better views and is closer to the reservoir, so if you want privacy go here, if you prefer better views go to Teal."
