El lugar esta bonito, super tranquilo. Nos hemos quedado 4 noches, en el espacio 36, elk run. Los baños estan un poco descuidados, el baño de mujeres tiene un hule para pararse mientras uno se baña y el agua se estancaba por la cantidad de cabellos que habian en el desague. Y los servicios estaban sucios.

The water was not working in our site, and there was no information on who to contact after hours or who the camp host was. Poor communication on emails, web site, and posted bulletin boards. The following day we were moved to another site so repairs could be made. Beyond that the location was very good, but that soured our experience and time spent there.

Lovely little hidden gem. It was early spring and a little chilly but still great. We biked the reservoir road. Lovey views and great camping spots.

Easy to find site. Restrooms and showers were clean and in good working order. Area was kept clean. Close to Los Alamos, Bandelier National Monument and Santa Fe.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
