About Cibola National Forest

The Cibola National Forest consists of 13 different plots, which extend from east to west and into the middle of New Mexico. These include the three major national forests, the San Juan, Santa Fe and Rio Grande National Forests, as well as a small number of smaller forest areas.

Most campsites are more than an hour's drive from Albuquerque, but there are some nearby, such as the Sandia Ranger District, which is about a half-hour drive from Cibola National Forest Camp.

Some developed recreation areas allow camping, although the developed campsite has a 2-week camp restriction after a visit.

National forest campsites are suitable for tents and most recreational vehicles, but large trailers cannot drive on campsites or roads. The Cibola National Forest behaves like any other national forest, with huts and lodges managed by the national forestry authorities.

It is recommended to contact the local forest department for more information or the National Forestry Department of the Cibola National Forest for more information about the forest.

Many of the national forest campsites have access to the Cibola National Forest and other national forests in the area, so check out the latest information about other areas. The recreation areas will be redeveloped to make them accessible to all and a plan will be implemented to develop additional recreation areas and build new paths.

Dead trees left in the stands can be felled for use on campsites monitored by a forester, but permission for the campfire is required. Dead wood and down wood can be found at the campsite, which can be used as firewood, but it is recommended not to bring firewood, charcoal or petroleum if they are not readily available. Please check with the foresters and the forest administration if there is a smoking ban on your visit.

Coal miners are known for campfires, but cooking and heating devices containing more than 1,000 parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide (CO2) are not considered bonfires. There are no restrictions on the use of such devices as long as they meet the safety standards of the Underwriter Laboratory.

Most campsites are more than an hour's drive from Albuquerque, but the Sandia Ranger district is only about a half-hour drive from the nearest campsites in Albuquerque. Some developed recreational areas, such as New Mexico State Park, allow camping as long as you are nearby. The developed campsite has a 2-week tent restriction after a visit, and the developed campsite limits camping to 1,000 square meters.

National forest campsites are suitable for tents and most recreational vehicles, but large trailers cannot drive on the campsite roads.

Some of these recreational areas have been renovated to make the national forest areas accessible, so keep up to date with the latest information on these and others in the region.

Special orders limit your stay to 14 days or 45 days; however, it is recommended to reserve a maximum of 10 days and special orders are limited to 12 days, with a special order for a stay of 30 days and a limited number of days of camping.

Most inland areas are quite dry and most streams and springs do not flow all year round, so you must bring water to drink while camping in the hinterland. Remember that the mountains and interior are rugged and isolated and there are no camping facilities in undeveloped areas, except for a few small campsites.

All roads in this part of Cibola are closed to all types of mechanized vehicles and it is recommended to contact the local Ranger District Office before driving for long periods. Motorised vehicles are not permitted in any of the four designated wilderness areas.

Although Cibola has specially designated trails for jeeps and motorcycles, many of the old forest and forest roads, which can be used by mountain bikes, motorcycles and jeeps, are open to all types of motorised vehicles. The areas closed to motorised traffic can be found out at the Forster District Office.
