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. Services include potable water, trash pickup, vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire grates. From the end of September through October, the campground remains open with limited services and 1/2 price fees. Between November and May, there are no services (water, trash pick up or restrooms). Please keep the campground clean and pack out any trash.
