This is such a hidden gem! The campground is beautiful. There is a lovely hike to the hoodoos from the campground. The stream creates a green cool area. Only down side is the tent camping is only on the gravel tent pads.

I love this camp ground...well maintained and safe. A bit difficult to find the exit in the dark but after several trips around I final found the exit. Might be helpful to some of us older folks to put up a sign indicating the exit.

Clean, even with campers that are messy and inconsiderate. The camp host has his hands full but does his job extremely well. Curfew for noise is 10pm and was enforced.

Paliza campground is very tidy and well kept up. The campsites were freshly raked and the vault toilets were clean and always stocked with toilet paper. The campsite staff members were friendly and promptly cleaned up our neighbors campsites as soon as they left. The nature was also beautiful with tall pine trees and several good hikes nearby.

Nice park to get away from it all. No power or water but good pit toilets that were very clean. Lots of trees for shade. Only a few miles of unpaved roads but paved inside the park and at each camp spot. Close to Jemez Pueblo and the Valles Caldera.
