Very nice campground with close proximity to downtown Santa Fe. There has not been any water available for several years and this is a problem. There are numerous hikes to take nearby that border the road to the Santa Fe Ski Basin.

Beautiful camp sites and a great location. Vault toilets were clean. Unfortunately no potable water or firewood. Also no recycling.

Park is very scenic and quiet. Sites are well placed and reasonably private. Staff was friendly.
Be aware of elevation if you are not acclimated
Outhouse and water situation is biggest negative. We were prepared for no water in advance. But the outhouses were already full 5 days into season? Some were closed when we arrived. Some were closed while we were there. Some doors didn't lock and marginal maintenance
