A very nice park. The park host was friendly and helpful. Very quiet. The Rio Grande River is just across road. Great for star gazing after dark. Will be going back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground only has flush toilets. To shower you must drive down to Rio Bravo CG. The BLM does not have a dump site in the Orilla Verde Recreation Area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground is part of the Orilla Verde Recreation Area operated by the BLM. Two of the campgrounds have W&E: 4 sites in Rio Bravo and 6 in in the Pilar campground. Rio Bravo has shade so it is the most popular. There is no reservation system. All 5 of the campgrounds fill up on summer weekends. So try to arrive on Thursday before noon. There is no dump. We dumped at the Taos Valley RV Park on 120 Este Es Road. Cost $10.70. We loved this campground so much we extended our stay. It is 18 miles to Taos but the nice peaceful campground was such a relief after the crowds in Taos. Spring and fall are better times to visit. Fewer people and less heat. Don't worry about the campgrounds being near the road. No one but campers and fisherpeople use the road into the Rec area. There is no traffic at night. We would camp here again. We loved it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
