This campground feels very remote. Quiet; no road noise at all. Loved the rolling terrain. Beautiful sunrise/sunset. Reasonable amount of trails for a lake-themed campground. Stayed in the Buffalo loop. The showerheads could use some attention, as they only provided a mist, not really a shower. But would definitely come back here. Tent Rocks NM is within 2 miles, but be sure to book your access reservation way in advance. We stayed for two weeks, but could not get into Tent Rocks.

Great location for day-trip proximity to National Parks and Monuments.

Juniper loop site #15 pull through. Very level with water across the road. We filled before we set up. Nice park for walking and Mountain View’s were great. About 30 minutes to Santa Fe.

Beautiful shower/bathroom units on lovely Juniper loop were unfortunately locked up after the 2nd day of our 7 day stay. No idea why. Trash bins were conveniently located. It is a beautiful, quiet peaceful place, but had expected access to running water closer to our camp loop.

We had an amazing hike at nearby Kasha-Katuwee Tent Rocks and enjoyed kayaking on the no-wake lake. Beautiful location and campsite. Level pad and covered picnic shelter were great. Bathrooms were a bit overused by the day boaters, as the bathrooms in the boat launching area were closed with instructions to go to the campground. Other than the bathrooms being a bit run down, we had a very positive experience and would come back again.

- 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.
