I have never been west of Illinois so my hubby and I are planning a trip down Route 66 to Albuquerque, NM this in October. We will be camping at the Turquoise Trail Campground in Cedar Crest, NM. We are really looking forward to hiking in the Petroglyph National Monument and the riding Sandia Peak Tram, and a day in Santa Fe.
Is someone able to tell us what to expect camping in New Mexico? We are from Indiana and camp in Northeast Indiana and Southern Michigan. Camping here is simple. We don't use many disposable items; we usually wash our dishes, strain the water and pour it on the ground. We see the campground has a dish washing station and does not allow waste water to be poured on the ground. Will we need to do anything special with our food? We usually keep it in the car at night and when we are away from camp. The most we usually have to worry about are Raccoons, possums, and coyotes. We know campfires are not allowed so we will be taking our stove. We know it will be cold at night and will take gear that is appropriate. We understand the usual precautions such as no food in the tent. Is there anything special we need to know?
