Elephant Rock Campground

Hosted by USDA Forest Service

New listing

Elephant Rock Campground has excellent fishing access to the well-stocked Red River, nearby Eagle Rock Lake and hiking into the surrounding high country. The campground is close to the highway with plenty of large pine trees, and rests at 8,400 feet above sea level. The nearest hiking trail, Fawn Lakes Trail, is located 0.3 miles east of Elephant Rock Campground, near Fawn Lakes Campground, and it meets accessibility guidelines. Elephant Rock offers convenient access to State Rt. 38 and is well situated for day trips on the Enchanted Circle and to the town of Red River. The Red River is across the road from the campground but is not accessible. This campground offers 20 single sites, potable water and vault toilets. Each site has a fire ring, picnic table and tent pad. Elephant Rock is a single loop that meanders up a hillside, with several sites featuring stone terracing. The campsites are tucked in among a mixture of ponderosa pine, aspen, fir and spruce, and the Red River flows near the campground. Visitors to the area can explore the towns of Red River and Questa, and the Enchanted Circle.
