Juniper Campground (NM)

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! :)

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

Close to Santa Fe. Beautiful surroundings, good size sites with picnic table and fire pit. Our site was very steep and it was a challenger to lever our camper. Busy traffic was speeding through Coyote Loop each evening. Even a tour bus came sailing through at well above posted speed limits. Clean restrooms and water was available during our stay. Frey trail is approx. a 2 mi hike to the ruins. Once at the ruins there are souvenir shops and a café to fuel up for the return trip.

Site 41 is great. The Coyote loop was quiet and peaceful in April when I visited. The “Doug with elk” burger is worth it at the park restaurant, get it!
