Black Canyon Campground (Santa Fe National Forest, NM)

I'm from Colorado - 3rd time I've stayed here and love the campground - this was a very disappointing trip, however, because of an infestation of the Tussock Moth - couldn't stay outside at all - the camper and grounds were a constant maintenance headache - no time for enjoyment - many campers, especially those in tents on the ground got terrible rashes - even though I and my fellow travelers cleaned the RVs to a fault, we still ended up with a few stragglers when we arrived home, where we have ponderosas also - last thing I want to do is transport an infestation - while I understand "nature happens", my beef is that Rec.gov did not alert me prior to allow me the option to cancel the reservation - they've cancelled me in the past due to wildfires, so I don't understand why the lack of communication in this situation

Do NOT book site 11 as there is only parking for a motorcycle. Campground hostess was most helpful to relocate to a first come/first serve site. There should be a notation about the parking being across the road from site 11!!

Great campground, not too big, under 40 sites. Most sites are fairly secluded, clean and quiet.

Beautiful well maintained sites built into the hills. Fun biking up the canyon and playing in the stream.
