Ocamora is located in Mora County, northeastern New Mexico. It is a 3-hour drive from Albuquerque, a 2-hour drive from Santa Fe, a 1.75 hour drive from Taos, and a 1-hour drive north of Las Vegas, New Mexico.
There is no public transportation available in the northeastern part of the state.
Transportation requires the use of private cars or rented vehicles. Most group leaders will assist with helping to arrange ride sharing when possible.
Driving directions from the Albuquerque or Santa Fe areas:
Take interstate I25 north to Las Vegas, NM , exit, and head north on state roads 518 and then 442
OR
continue on to Wagon Mound,NM, exit on state highway 120, and head west towards the mountains
Once in ‘downtown’ Ocate (a T intersection) continue west on state highway 120 for approximate 3 miles
Look carefully for mile marker 14 (on left side of road) and then turn RIGHT on CO09 (a dirt road with a vertical sign)
Continue on CO09 for approximately 1 mile until you see a large mailbox with 43 Canyon Bonita on the RIGHT side of the road.
Ocamora’s parking area is behind a wooden coyote fence just after the mailbox.
