Riana - Abiquiu Lake

We went to this location to see the eclipse. There is no shade which was what we needed. The site was clean, the hosts were very nice, showers worked and drinking water was nearby. Because there is no alcohol allowed on site noise was not an issue which is nice if you want to enjoy silence for sleeping at night. There are several trails around to explore too.

Beautiful vistas. Clean restrooms. Friendly camp hosts.
Nice trails for hiking and biking.
The handicap sites had spotty cell coverage.
It was excellent when we moved to sites nearer the lake.

This space is great. We loved the trails, although would recommend them for hiking more than mountain biking. Our spot had the room we needed for three of of us and a 19 ft tow behind camper and our truck. The real gem of it all was Cindy in the office. She was SO kind, helpful and friendly. So was the other gentleman who checked us in (don't remember his name.) But seriously, Cindy was a gem. Thanks!

The weather in mid-October was not good for tent camping with wind gusts of 50 mph and low temp of 35 degrees. The camp ground itself was well maintained and very nice.

The staff were amazing and the lake was extremely pleasant and beautiful as always. All the surrounding campers were polite and happy to be there too.

The campground was nice with a beautiful view and pleasant staff. The only problem was in reservation process. As I was trying to book three nights at same spot, someone else came on and booked same space in middle while I was booking. I couldn't book all three nights at once. So we had to move to another space and then move back which was difficult with check in and out times.

Clean and pretty location

Beautiful camp park with incredible views. Well maintained and managed.

Our site #24 in Rianna was perfect for us. It has some shade along the driveway keeping the camper cool in the morning. Our 22' camper fit nicely along with our truck. It doesn't leave room for a second car but you can park in overflow area. We also had a tent set up and it was a reasonable level spot but if it would have rained it would be very muddy. There is a grill, fire pit and picnic table with a shade cover. The vault toilets are very clean and there are flush toilets a short walk. The camp hosts and rangers were very attentive and answered all our questions. We had a total of 5 sites filled with family and friends. We went for a celebratory 4days and the Eclipse. We all loved our time. The views of the lake and the surrounding bluffs were beautiful. There is a 4 mi trail that provides a great medium level hike. We took our kayaks but only paddles one day as there was blue green algae bloom. The water was like glass and provided a very peaceful paddle. This is a federal facility so plan accordingly. There is no alcohol, mj, gate closes at 10, etc. There is potable water and dump station available and included in your fee.

Nice and quite campground with lake view. Showers and restrooms very clean. The hosts, Cindy and her husband, very nice people!
