Quiet! Small campground with a very quiet and enjoyable experience. People around us (this is obviously highly subjective) were respectful campers and enjoyed the peace and quiet as much as we did. There was a brief rainstorm which helped cool the grounds down and we had a lovely time just sitting and enjoying the surroundings.

The grounds are pretty - lots of trees and you're deep in the park. Loved staying here for the one night.

The cows have invaded this space. We have camped here 5 previous times and only saw cows when we took the hike to the reservoir/ lake. The calling between adult cows and babies was VERY loud and was happening all day. Not very peaceful anymore.

Nice quiet place.
The small creek was still a trickling even though it was a VERY dry winter and spring.
Great star gazing and bird watching.
Close to San Pedro for an easy day hike.
Or hike down past the day use area along the valley.

It was a very peaceful stay, with lots of hummingbirds and chipmunks to visit and entertain. Trash bins were very full from the weekend and didn't seem to be emptied while we were there, from Monday to Thursday. A very nice green area within the Santa Fe National Forest.

Bathrooms were clean. There is good spacing between sites. The sites were paved and relatively level with site #3 requiring minimal leveling adjustments. Fire danger was very high with a fire just 10 miles away. But that didn't stop one of the campsites from having a fire both evening and morning even with open fire restrictions.

Loved the campground. Big, beautiful trees and nice private campsites. Was disappointed that the camp host never came around and the toilets were super stinky and not cleaned once during our stay. However, we really loved the campground and will be back.

The grounds were clean and well kept with fresh asphalt. My site, number 5, was so level I did not have to use leveling blocks. The pit toilets were clean. It was nice to be at such a "developed" site that had no water, sewer, or electricity. It made my first "self contained" trip nice and now I feel more comfortable trying some dispersed sites in the future.

    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
