Gorgeous camp ground. Ample space between sites, super quiet atmosphere, great tent pads and fire rings. So close to Sante Fe and was a great location to sleep following tours of Bandelier NM, Pecos NHP, and Fort Union NHP. Could not ask for a better experience.

The campground was very clean and well kept . It was very quiet at night . The campsites are very well spaced out so your neighbors aren’t very close . The hiking trail that leads right out of the park was beautiful . Only complaint I have is our camp site was right across from a bathroom and we could smell it all night long . Next time we will get a site farther away . Definitely will visit again

Campsite was a great size and beautiful area. Bathroom was close to #12 and enjoyed the convenience but not the smell. Firewood was easy to by in town at Whole Foods. Next time we would stay longer.

Very nice forest service campground not far from Santa Fe. The sites are large with plenty of privacy. Not sure why no potable water was available - so bring water with you. Only negative is no phone service but they do have a public phone if needed.
