PALIZA is a little hidden gem. It is very well kept. The camp host , Timothy, is very friendly and keeps the campgrounds extremely clean.

Cute campsite! We felt like spacing between sites were generous, quiet during day and night, and overall cleaned/maintained. The road between sites are nicely paved and the campsite kids enjoyed riding bikes around (not a disturbance whatsoever, it created a fun sense of community). Pet friendly as well. Only downside is high amount of flying insects around, but that is nature! Only one hour drive from Albuquerque. Temperatures reached high 80s during the day and low 60s at night (middle July).

While we were there the campground was virtually empty so it was wonderfully quite. We had spotty Wi-Fi. The campground and bathrooms were clean. The only problem was peaky flies and bees.

We stayed 4 nights, is was pretty hot, but the camping host was great . Very respectful when letting us know about rules, changes. We also got clarification for us regarding some camp changes but always polite. We also noticed he was always cleaning the area. We will definitely revisit.

We were pleasantly surprised by this campground with its immaculate condition, large campsites, asphalt driveways and roads, clean bathrooms and trash that was collected regularly. The camp host was friendly and helpful. It was definitely one of the nicest USFS campgrounds we have been to.
