It’s open. First come first serve. Seriously one of the best camp sites I’ve had. No electricity or water so come prepared. Vault toilets are clean. Quiet and beautiful place tucked away in El Malpais.
just East of Grants, NM. Take highway 117 south about 10miles (just after ranger station.) Has pit toilets, clean and about a dozen first come first serve sites
Unfortunately, Joe Skeen Campground is closed during COVID-19. We did not know this until we arrived, a bit upset to see that it was. Nevertheless, according to the sign we could camp as long as we followed some rules : within 25 feet of the road. No disturbing plants, rocks and ancient structures. We camped just outside the entrance of Joe and toward later in the evening more cars and vans joined us. Maintained distance of course. Rangers never kicked us out, which was a worry of mine.nnThe scenery was lovely, though we didn't enjoy it long. Would have preferred to have use actual restrooms rather than nature. At one point in the night, it started to pour rain and thunder which made the tenters crawl back into their cars. Lots of moths.
I only stayed here for a night, and arrived rather late. I rolled in on my motorcycle around 11pm on a Saturday night, and from I've read, I was very lucky to find an open site. I appreciated the concrete pad for parking, as well as the opening for a small tent. Very clean site, one vault toilet that had plenty of toilet paper.
Camped here for a night on a road trip. Campsite is very clean and quiet, with beautiful scenery all around. Great place to view the sunset.
