Camping mid March

I’ve been to NM in April, mostly southern areas though. I’m looking to camp either Santa Fe National forest or Gila area around mid March. I’m fine with cold, but is there usually snow? I don’t have a 4x4 vehicle which is my biggest concern. I was really looking forward to Columbine campground specifically but saw some pretty snowy pics from someone who stayed early march. Any advice?

I’m a avid camper in the northern NM area. Even early June will be chilly (at night) in some areas. Consider mid June- august
