Juniper Campground (NM)

Great campground. Very clean, newly remodeled restroom facilities, which include a dishwashing station. We heard coyotes at night and the surrounding environment was delightful.

Beautiful campground with lots of great trails. The spot was not level, but we were able to get ourselves mostly level. We did end up having phone and internet service at the campground, which was not expected, so that was nice (Verizon). If you want to go back and forth, from the visitor's center and the campground, you will have to hike down about 3 mi, or drive. However, parking is usually full pretty early in the day. Check to see if the shuttle bus is running from the campground. It wasn't while we were there, so we hiked in and out everyday. The bathrooms were nice, but no showers. There is also plenty of drinking water available, and a convenient dump station. And, definitely check out the restaurant. The Doug is the best Green Chile Cheeseburger we have ever had, and that's based on a lot of experience! :)

1). The woman ranger at the visitors’ center was extremely helpful!! I give her a gold star.

2). The campground was very nice too.

Campground is devoid of shade. But a great place for star gazing and birding, not to mention the obvious ease of access to the ruins. Amenities are scarce but the remote location is quiet and invites reflection.

Nice campground. We have a 25 ft RV so just fit the limit for the campground. For paved sites they have quite a grade and it took sometime to level the RV so we could extend the slide. We raced to arrive at the visitors centre to check in before closing and the Ranger told us we should have just gone to the campsite. It was 10 minutes before closing so my wife asked a couple of questions regarding the trail and his response was "well your not doing it tonight". She stated she knew that but was just looking for information. His response was "You got the map don't you. You just come here in the morning.". Pretty cranky and perhaps he had a rough day but maybe should not be in the service industry. However, the display at the visitors centre and the trail itself with the Pueblo cliff dwelling was incredible despite the less than friendly welcome. Well worth the visit and it is a nice campground.
