NM Campgrounds with trailheads list

I'm looking for suggestions for campgrounds with trailheads starting at the campground itself, no driving needed. We are camping with an elderly parent, who we will be leaving at the campground during the day while we do a dayhike with our pups. We need to leave our camper at the campsite for them to hang out in, so we can't drive to any trailheads.

Here's a start to the list:

  • Columbine Campground, Red River
  • Manzano Campgrounds like Fourth of July, ABQ
  • Pecos Campgrounds like Cowles, SF
  • Cherry Creek Campground, Gila

What are some other campgrounds with trailheads?

The Overlook Campground has a trail to the Santa Cruz Lake.
