Directions to El Porvenir Christian Camp

El Porvenir Christian Camp is located approximately 16 miles west of Las Vegas, New Mexico at the very end of Highway 65.  Las Vegas is located just off of I-25 in northeastern New Mexico (not Las Vegas, Nevada!).  The last 10 miles of highway 65 is an unmarked narrow mountain road with no center line.  Don’t trust your GPS after mile marker 12!  Cellphone coverage is not available past mile marker 5!

 You will take exit 345 off of Interstate 25 into Las Vegas.  If you are coming from the south (Albuquerque or Santa Fe area), you will turn left (west) when you come to the stop sign and then enter town (if you are coming from the North, you will turn right).  Quickly you will come to a stop light which is a 4 way stop.  Turn right.  When you reach Mills Ave. (the next stoplight) turn left.  You will then drive all the way across town, through 2 stoplights, and turn right at the 3^rd stoplight which is Hot Springs Blvd.  This is also the beginning of Highway 65.  From here the mile markers start at 1 and continue all the way to 15 just before you reach the camp.  At about mile marker 12-13, you will follow a Y to the right following a sign that points to El Porvenir Camp Ground.  After mile marker 15 you will cross a cattle guard and enter the national forest.  Just keep driving.  You will cross a bridge onto what is now a gravel road that takes a sharp right.  In a short distance, take a left and pull up to our entrance. 

 It usually takes 30+ minutes to reach the camp from Las Vegas (it will seem like forever).  The camp sits right beside the National Forest Campground (El Porvenir Camp Ground) at the end of the highway.

 Welcome to Camp!
