Campsites


Baldy Town
1935 - The original Baldytown located on Baldy Mountain's East face. Shortly after the end of the Civil War, the surrounding area saw a flood of eager miners looking to profit off of the mountain's gold and copper rush. Another settlement known as Elizabethtown was founded on the mountain's west face and a number of decommissioned mine shafts remain to this day.

Historic Cabin A crew watching as two staff members demonstrate a route on the natural rock of Chase Cow Camp in its first season.. Philmont maintains three rock climbing venues ... Dean Cow was closed due to the Ute Park Fire and Chase Cow was created to take its place starting in 2019 along with Miner's Park and Cimarroncito.
CHQ Homebound
Thanks to the Philmont Fire Department, Cimarron Fire Department, and New Mexico State Forestry units for their actions during the response to the Ute Park Fire. The actions and decisions made during the initial attack phase saved several structures in the Cimarroncita area and helped minimize damage to Ute Park residential areas. In the following days, the United States Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and countless other regional fire departments would send units and crews to assist in the two-week campaign.
