So quiet and beautiful! The campsites are far enough apart and level. Clean

Clear Creek CG is one of the finest sites we have enjoyed in NM, ever. All roads to and inside the site are paved, each camp site has a paved pad around the FS picnic table & fire pit. The water table is low, but the creek is flowing. Potable (cold & fresh) water via a hand-pump is working fine. Pit-toilets were clean & well stocked. Bring bug spray & fly traps. The forest is mature, large diameter mixed conifers & aspen. We discovered "abandoned" FS roads all around the CG venturing into the NF in "almost every" direction; the slopes are generally moderate hiking level; mountain biking I would rate moderate +; easy-peasy FT are limited to the valley floor. It's a 3-mile drive on FS 70 from NM 126 to TH for San Gregorio Reservoir, a very nice lake inside the San Pedro Wilderness that's less than a mile to hike on a easy grade FT that is well maintained (read, good family hike with children.) Cellphone coverage is very low to gone, it's hit & miss where to get just 1 bar in the CG or in this general area. Back to NM 126 drive (and out) the highway is well maintained, but steep in many places; slow going up and "watch the brakes" driving out & down to Cuba, NM (which have small general stores & fuel.) Please do not go to this campsite so we can have our pick of reservation dates on the required Recreation.gov website ;) Cheers & enjoy...

Nice area and the price is right. There was a fair amount of traffic and associated dust. Some drove though faster than others.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
