Tent Camping near Albuquerque or Gallup

[hhornig]

Does anyone know of a campground that allows tent camping in the area?

The city of Bernalillo just out of ABQ has tent camping (off of I-25, exit 242). Coronado Campground http://www.townofbernalillo.org/depts/campground.htm

This was a neat place to camp and visit (have not been to in it many years), even with a museum nearby, all close to Gallup at Red Rock/Churchrock just off of I-40 east of town. It was a state park when we used it.

Bluewater Lake is just off I40 and closer to Gallup than Albuquerque.

USA RV Park in Gallop NM has tent camping according to their website. We have stayed there a couple of times in MH and enjoyed it. JMO
