Carson National Forest

Recreational Activities: Camping

Trout Lakes Campground

Canjilon Ranger District

11 miles from Cebolla.
9,300 feet elevation

14 day stay limit
Opens end of May through September 15th.

Facilities:

12 tent sites
Fire Grill
Toilets
No Drinking Water

Attractions and Considerations:

Three lakes provide excellent fishing opportunities amid a setting of quiet green forests. Summer's quiet beauty turns to gold as autumn touches the aspen and rewards campers lingering in the area.

Picnic supplies, a gas station, and a post office are available in Cebolla.

General Information:

Be extremely cautious with fire and use only the fireplaces provided. Please do not cut down trees or shrubs; they provide natural scenery and shade-not firewood. Please do not carve on the trees. Carving leaves a wound where fungus can enter and kill the tree.

Please do not deposit fish remains in the lakes and clean fish away from the water faucets. Please wrap fish remains and other highly spoilage meats, food, etc., in small plastic bags, bread wrappers, or newspapers before putting them into garbage receptacles. By tightly wrapping remains flies and odors can be eliminated or greatly reduced. Please do not put unwrapped remains into the garbage receptacle.

Please crush and compact boxes, milk cartons, cans etc., before putting them into garbage receptacles - more garbage will fit into the containers if compacting is done.

Please pick up litter around your campsite and put it in the receptacle. Also please read and comply with the posted regulations.

Thank you for your help; enjoy your visit!!
