Coyote Creek State Park

Coyote Creek State Park is located in a remote area of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains between Angel Fire and Mora, New Mexico. The 462-acre state park is bisected by Coyote Creek, probably the most densely stocked trout stream in all New Mexico. This is a heavily forested area and the campsites are spread out to give folks more privacy than is usual in a state park setting.

There are restrooms and showers in the camping area with a playground nearby. The park also offers a centrally located RV dump station.
