Very nice park with mountain views in all directions, most sites with a view of the lake. There's a good hiking trail within the park and you can walk across the damn as well. Location convenient for day trips to Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Los Alamos, and Taos. Bathhouse could use updating. Very friendly, helpful camp host.

So beautiful and peaceful. We had a medical emergency with my kiddo and the ambulance was there quick and they were amazing with him. Got him patched up so we could continue camping. Was an awesome weekend. Definitely bring something for the bugs at night though! The Mosquitoes reminded me of the south!

I love the Buffalo Grove section of this campground - the shelters at each site are beautiful and the picnic tables are concrete which means no worries when setting up your cook stove. There is water and electric at each site, the bathrooms are clean, the sites are large and level, the camp hosts are really nice, and the views are beautiful.

Buffalo Grove sites are so well laid out - Plenty of space, easy (and sometimes none) leveling.

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.
