What others are saying about this campground

It is a quiet and peaceful campground, perfect for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of major civilization. There are 11 picnic areas with shelters and grills, and clean restrooms. It is a great place to take a day trip after visiting White Sands National Monument, Alamogordo, NM. National Park Passes such as America the Beautiful, Golden Age, and Active Military are free day use and half off dry camping/RV hookup. There are two trails leading to historic sites, a 1/4 mile loop showcasing 3 reconstructed Jornada Mogollon pit homes, and a main petroglyph trail that is moderate and not easy.

From The Campground

Three Rivers Petroglyph Site is a year-round campground located in New Mexico. The site offers hiking, camping, picnicking, and prehistoric interpretation. A rugged half-mile trail (Petroglyph Trail) begins at the visitor shelter and links many of the most interesting petroglyphs. Another short trail (Village Trail) begins on the east side of the picnic area and leads to the remains of a Mogollon village, whose inhabitants were likely responsible for the petroglyphs. The site offers five shelter sites with picnic tables and cooking grills (one is handicap accessible); one group site that has three picnic tables under a shelter and two grills; two RV sites have covered picnic tables and grills and water and electric hookups. Five locations are also established for tent use, within defined boundaries. Restrooms and drinking water are available. Pets are allowed in the campground (on leash), but are not allowed on the trails.
