This campground is part of the BLM Three Rivers Petroglyph Park which is located off US Route 54 about 17 miles north of Tularosa, New Mexico and 28 miles south of Carrizozo, New Mexico. To access the park turn east onto county road B30 (B030) and drive five miles on paved roads to the Three Rivers Petroglyph site and campground.

Very small campground, but close to a large petroglyph location.

April to October, opens at 8:00 am and closes at 5:00 pm.

The petroglyphs at Three Rivers Petroglyph is an outstanding example of Jornada Mogollon rock art. The basaltic ridge rising above the Three Rivers Valley contains over 21,000 petroglyphs, including masks, sunbursts, wildlife, handprints, and geometric designs. The number and concentration of petroglyphs make this one of the largest and most interesting rock art sites in the Southwest.

A rugged 0.5-mile trail begins at the visitor shelter and links many of the most interesting petroglyphs. Another short trail begins on the east side of the picnic area and leads to a partially excavated prehistoric village.

I have yet to explore these surrounds.

At most of the above listed federal park locations, Federal Parks Pass holders will receive half off camping fees.
