Bert Clancy Campground at Pecos Canyon State Park offers a secluded mountain camping experience in New Mexico's scenic Sangre de Cristo range. Located along NM-63 near the charming Village of Pecos and just a short drive from Santa Fe, this primitive campground provides seven intimate campsites for those seeking authentic wilderness recreation.
The campground serves as an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts, with excellent opportunities for world-class trout fishing on the Pecos River and its tributaries. Abundant hiking and trail systems wind through the surrounding Pecos Wilderness, offering access to pristine mountain scenery and wildlife viewing opportunities. The park is pet-friendly, making it perfect for travelers with four-legged companions.
While Bert Clancy maintains a rustic character with vault toilet facilities and no hookups, each site includes a picnic table and fire ring with grill—essential amenities for enjoying campfires and outdoor meals. The peaceful setting attracts hikers, anglers, and nature lovers seeking respite from developed campgrounds. Surrounded by dense forest and mountain vistas, the campground provides an authentic high-altitude camping experience at elevation.
The proximity to both Santa Fe and the expansive Pecos Wilderness makes this location ideal for exploring northern New Mexico's natural attractions. Reservations are available up to six months in advance through ReserveAmerica.
