Comanche Peak Camp is a camp located within the Boy Scouts Of America 's Philmont Scout Ranch , a backpacking reservation in northern New Mexico . Comanche Peak is a large, spacious unstaffed camp located immediately to the east of Mount Phillips . Backpackers staying at this 11,100 foot high campsite enjoy tall Ponderosa Pines that provide a canopy for each crew. The camp is located at 36°28.84' north latitude and 105°08.23' west longitude on Comanche Peak. While Comanche Peak Camp is a dry camp-- you must pack in your water-- the evening sunset views of Mounts Phillips and Baldy to the immediate west and northwest are worth it, and are a highlight for many a Philmont Crew ! Thoughtful trekkers that have come before have made convenient natural rock "lounge chairs" on the side of the mountain. Wildlife abounds in the area, including Mule Deer , Elk and Black Bear .
