Lincoln National Forest - Campgrounds
Visitors to Alamogordo can opt to camp in one of three campgrounds within the Lincoln National Forest. The Sacramento, Smokey Bear, and Guadalupe Ranger districts all offer RV and tent camping sites. There is a dump station on the grounds. Water hookups are available, and there are limited electric hookup sites. Guests should check with rangers on restrictions for campfires and barbecue grilling--there is fire-danger in the region prompting frequent bans and rule changes for open fires. Pets are allowed if leashed. Guests will find trails for hiking and mountain biking, rock-climbing and bouldering and fishing in the forest.
