This is a small but beautiful campground 10 miles up the mountain from Santa Fe, NM. The campground sites are spacious, bathrooms spotless, and hiking trails right out of the campground.

I think this has been our favorite campground in a National Forest to date. Every campsite was well kept and far enough away from others to give you some privacy. Other than the water issue on the whole mountain, I’d say this place was perfect.

Wonderful campground! Only wish they'd get the water fixed. I believe it's been out over two years now. No excuse for that.
Otherwise great!

Our hosts, Scott and Jessica, were wonderful, friendly, and very helpful with anything we asked of them. We were there about 5 days and the campgrounds were clean as well as the restrooms. I would strongly recommend staying there if you have the chance. Tent and camper sites available!
And of course, go visit Santa Fe, Taos, and Chimayo!
