Description:
|
Valley of Fires recreation area is located immediately adjacent to the Malpais Lava Flow. Approximately 5,000 years ago, Little Black Peak erupted and flowed 44 miles into the Tularosa Basin, filling the basin with molten rock. The resulting lava flow is four to six miles wide, 160 feet thick and covers 125 square miles. The lava flow is considered to be one of the youngest lava flows in the continental United States.
Camping
The recreation area has 19 campsites with picnic shelters, tables, grills, and potable water at each site. RV electric hookups are available at 14 sites. Two sites are wheel chair accessible. The full facility bathroom is fully accessible and has showers. Vault toilets are available throughout the park.

Spacious campsites, well separated, stunning scenery, awesome night skies with zero light pollution

Cons:

Self-check in can be confusing for some. Grab a pay envelop at the entrance, Find the site you like. Park your rig in the site. Walk to the office. Tell 'em what site you are in, and pay.

We love this campground for its solitude and ease of access from Albuquerque. In just 2.5 hours we can enjoy the beauty and serenity surrounded by 360 degree views and undisturbed quiet.
Carrizoso is barely 20 minutes away, but you wouldn't know it.
