Very nice campsite 7 miles from downtown Santa Fe. Great hiking trail adjacent. Generally very quiet and well laid-out with a good variety of sites for RVs and tent camping.

Beautiful area! Spaces are spread out a bit, you don't feel like your neighbors are touching you. Green trees, levelish sites@.

Great campsite and hiking nearby. The bathrooms were some of the grosser ones we've experienced. The host had a dog that barked a lot and generators were being turned on really early. Other than that great place to stay!

Nice campsites, not too close together. Great being so close to town while also completely away from it all, not even a cell signal. Nice short hike loop at the back of the campground. No water this year, so make sure you bring your own.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
