Very nice camp sites, clean, and amenities work great. Paved roads and pads.
Will go back here again.

Beautiful area. We were using this as a base camp to explore Santa Fe and Los Alamos for spring break. We hit a cold stretch, so mostly in the camper when at the park. Overall a great stay, strong Verizon signal when we needed to check in w work, kids wanted to watch a show. Would be a great place a little later in the season, bit we were happy it wasn’t packed with campers.
Only downsides:
Our site had a little bit of a lean to it and we couldn’t get perfectly level, but close enough.
Had electricity, but no sewer line. Looked like some sites had it and some didn’t.
The water spigot was spraying toward the electric hook up, so that was a little sketchy once I noticed and just turned off the power when filling, seems like it may have froze and split so we couldn’t get a no leak connection, and just filled our fresh tank instead of remaining hooked up. Easy fix.
Random dog poops all over, but that’s everywhere. I’m a dog owner and clean up after mine for this very reason. I hit a couple landmines and had to wash shoes.

The directions you get when clicking the link on the site do not take you to the campground. They take you to the reservation about 3 miles down the road. Judging from the reaction we got when we approached the gate, this is common. We arrived a little earlier than the 1400 checkin. There was a camper still set up in our site and didn’t look like they were ready to move. There was not an attendant at the office nor a camp host, so we approached the camper. They said it was first come first served when they got there even though our name was on the site post as being reserved. We ended up moving to another site as we had a long drive the next day and just wanted to get some rest.
There are no amenities close by except a gas station just outside the campground. They do have some food and necessities but it’ll cost ya.
The campground itself was nice, quite, and clean. The electricity and water worked and there is a dump station as you exit. There are not any lights in the campground so it gets dark. The walk to the comfort station is eerie after dark.

Nice campground. Bathrooms need work in the area of cleanliness.

Our site was right next to the garbage dumpster. It was filled and overflowing when we arrived and was like that for several days before it was picked up. Was horrible to see such a site. other than that, the campground was ok. Needs some TLC. Luckily we had an extension cord for our trailer to reach the electric pedestal since it was way up the hill.

This is one of the most beautiful campsites we have had. We had glorious sunsets. Hummingbirds abundant. The facilities are nice. It is a bit of a long walk to the beach. I would recommend driving down.
