IRON GATE
IRON GATE
Iron Gate Campground sits at 9,000+ feet elevation in the Santa Fe National Forest and serves as an excellent base camp for accessing the Pecos Wilderness and nearby river.
The 14-site first-come, first-served campground offers basic amenities (vault toilets, picnic tables, fire pits) and four horse corrals, with a trail leading down to the Pecos River for day hikes.
Access via rough Forest Road 223 requires high-clearance vehicles (30-foot maximum length); the campground operates May-November and costs $4 per night.
