While the campground is beautiful, the sites are far too close together. NM 126 runs right next to most sites, it isn't particularly busy but it is close enough to be a distraction. The best location is definitely the group site, which pulls the price of 150 a night, but you actually get riverside camping and some space from others. For the quick drive to and from home, we will likely visit again, but now we know to expect little privacy or quiet.

Very nice group site with plenty of space. Close proximity to the creek gives the children something fun to do while at the camp. Hiking up to the San Antonio Hot Springs is an excellent, nearby activity, but especially so when the road is open, otherwise it's over a 10 mile roundtrip hike. Fenton Lake State Park is a great lake to fish at and to use your paddle craft and is only 15 minutes away. We love being up in the trees and mountains and only 90 minutes from Albuquerque.

No water available at the campsite. No trash dumpsters available at the campsite. Many electric sites not occupied during our four night stay. Campground host was friendly.

Tent pad area was large, we enjoyed using the fire ring. A good experience, next time I will pick a more shaded spot away from the walking trail, but overall an excellent campground.

We were finally able to book an electric/water site at San Antonio Campground. Downside, power was out at the first bathroom to the right of the entrance, making it tricky to use at night. The rest of the bathrooms had power.

The other problem is "no shows" keeping the sites from being used. There were two of the six electric sites that were unoccupied for at least three days. It would be great if Recreation.gov made the "no show" policy more clear on the website, so others could take advantage of an unused site. There are precious few sites available anymore in the forests.
