Rocky MTN High Desert Campout

High Desert Campout

July 24^th-27^th Amole Canyon Group Shelter

Taos, New Mexico (15 miles)

Hosted by Rocky MTN Tenkara

This will be the very first Tenkara Campout hosted by Rocky MTN Tenkara here in New Mexico, and we’d love to extend our backyard to any angler willing to make the trip. The campout will take place about 15 miles outside of Taos, surrounded by some of the best small-stream fishing in the region.

We chose this campground because it can comfortably accommodate up to 100 people and 30 vehicles, with outhouse facilities available on site. Its location also offers the convenience of being close to Taos, so if dry camping with the group isn’t quite your style, there are plenty of nearby lodging options.

The event will begin on Friday, July 24th, and run through Monday, July 27th, when we’ll wrap up with final cleanup and check-out. This is a free event (donations welcome) for anyone willing to make the trek to New Mexico and help us kick off our first Rocky MTN Tenkara campout.

This will be a “choose your own adventure” style Tenkara trip, with access to countless blue line streams as well as larger waters like the Rio Grande Box perfect for anglers looking for anything from an easy day on the water to a more adventurous hike in experience.

We’ll also be providing downloadable maps on our website, along with local fishing information to help you explore the area and make the most of your time in Northern New Mexico.

We’d also like to gather in the evenings after a full day on the water to talk shop, share stories, and swap a few after-action reports with fellow anglers.
