Free Camping in New Mexico

New Mexico is a sleeper pick for free camping. Carson National Forest, the Gila Wilderness, and Lincoln National Forest all allow dispersed camping throughout. The Jemez Mountains northwest of Santa Fe — volcanic terrain, ponderosa forest, almost no crowds.

Every listing below links to a full location page with a live weather forecast, a map, and nearby outdoor spots within 8 miles — trails to hike, swimming holes to cool off in, and local events. No other free camping directory shows you what's around the site. Trek4Free does.
