Year-round (peak: March – October)
Mushroom-shaped Entrada Sandstone hoodoos packed into a single mile-square valley floor — a geological oddity so otherworldly that Galaxy Quest filmed its alien sequences here in 1999. The 25-site campground runs 30-amp electric and water hookups at a 35-ft cap, year-round, with the dump station at the entrance. Demand is structured around the spring (March-May) and fall (September-October) shoulder seasons; summer afternoons clear 105°F with zero shade and most rigs decamp by 11 a.m. Reservations open 4 months ahead and the limited site count means weekends in shoulder season fill within an hour. The Goblin's Lair canyoneering route and the Carmel Canyon Trail's slot are the marquee hikes; the valley floor itself is open to free play and is the rare landscape that genuinely engages kids without prompting.
