Camp Robledo was a post established by the Confederate Army, at the Paraje de Robledo in 1861. The troops posted there were to guard the approaches from the north to the Mesilla Valley of Confederate Arizona along the Rio Grande and across the Jornada del Muerto on the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro. It was used as a base for cavalry patrols and operations against Fort Craig and other places along its frontier with Union held New Mexico Territory.
