About this event
Tired of the summer heat? Beat the heat in Cloudcroft, NM! There are great paved AND dirt roads in the area!
There has been a change in the Pines Campground that I was not aware of. Some sites can be reserved in advance! The bad news is that the reservation system does not recognize America the Beautiful pass for discounts. I have reserved site #7 (the quad site) for Thursday Aug 6th - Sunday August 9th. Dan has reserved a twin site for those dates.
The web site for the Pines Campground is confusing. It does not mention the quad site in the text, but it is in the fee schedule section.
Further, the General Information section said "First come, first serve" but the Reservations section includes a link to recreation.gov!
This is a casual event. Dan Erhard and I will arrive on Thursday, August 6th. We had the quad site last year and is a nice meeting space. However, tent spots are limited and it will be first come first serve. The fee is $57 + $10 / vehicle which will be split amongst tent campers on the site.
As of 7/4/2026, 3 / 6 tent sites are used.
Additional spots are available on a first-come first-serve basis (see link for the fee schedule).
Cloudcroft has other campgrounds and hotels available as well.
For Adventure riders, Dan will be leading dirt rides including a section of BDR section 2 overlooking theTularosa Basin - breathtaking views of one of New Mexico's finest treasures.
Traditionally at least one night we visit the popular Cloudcroft Brewing Company for a group pizza dinner.
Attendees are responsible for finding and paying for their own accommodations.
