This was a beautiful campground, and the restroom facilities were very clean. It was nice to have flush toilets in a campground like this. The only negative was that when we booked the site, we entered our trailer length and the site we booked said that our trailer would fit. When we got there it wouldn’t. Most of the sites are very short and hard to back into. We knew this, but the search revealed our trailer would fit. We tried to switch to another site but there was no internet service, and the camp hosts had a sign out that said they were unavailable. We lost our money on the first site, drove into town 20 minutes to get service, and reserved another site that we could fit into. We lost a lot of time having to do this and tried to see the camp host the next day, and they were still unavailable. They were unavailable for our entire stay of 3 days. If we are to depend on the internet, there should at least be Wi-Fi in a centralized location such as the gate in order to reserve a site.

We stayed 2 nights on the Black Bear Loop at Juniper. The sites are very attractive, nestled amongst the Ponderosa pines. The bathrooms are clean and the co-located dishwashing closet is a real plus for us tent campers. It would be wonderful see the the nearby amphitheater area spruced up and in use, with a ranger talk in the evening.

Lovely campground, but the lights on the outside of the bathroom building were too bright, which really marred the "dark skies" experience for us. I don't think you need any lights outside the bathroom, and a dimmer light inside would be sufficient.

An amazing campground for several reasons. Amazing trees and privacy at many sites. Wonderfully quiet and close enough to the North Rim for you to make visiting pleasant. Camping store with gas across the street that has AWESOME coffee and food from a food truck. The most CLEAN vault bathrooms I have used EVER!!! Go to that store! The mule ride was awesome and if you don't want a busy hike, get away from the North Rim main routes and head to the Wilderness areas, they are stunning as well.

Really great park and campground. Facilities are clean, nice, and up to date. Real toilets and sinks with water and soap feels like a treat in a national park!. Campsites are spaced nicely and we had plenty of room. The driveways are a tad short and our site was not that level, but it did not impact our trip. The trails are well maintained and aside from the points of interest, there are plenty of things to see and do. We will definitely be back!

The Bandelier NM shuttle has begun for the 2026 season. The shuttle, operated by Atomic City Transit, runs from the Frey Trailhead (across from Black Bear Loop) to the visitor Center in Frijoles Canyon. The shuttle expands parking capacity and offers campers a great opportunity to easily hike the Frey Trail and experience the breathtaking views on a 1.5-mile trail that follows the historic (pre-1930s) route into Frijoles Canyon, then shuttle back to the campground later in the day. Once in Frijoles Canyon, more than 70 miles of additional trails are easily accessible. The shuttle runs on select dates March-October from 10:30am to 4:45pm. Complete schedule can be found here. |
