Cedro Peak camp sites are an absolute treasure. The sites are so convenient, always well kept, and perfect for a large group. I only wish they were open for more months during the year.

The campground was beautiful, the paved paths were level enough for myself and my friends to use mobility aid wheelchairs, and powerchair.
The fire pits and grills were well made and perfect for our needs.
Thank you so much.

The campsite was nice and roomy. The covered area with the picnic tables was great. The location in the mountain area was not too far from the interstate highway.
I would have given it a very high rating but for one inexplicable reason - the restrooms were locked. You would think their locks would have accepted the same code as the entry gate (that was provided with the reservation).

Made the reservation back in July for the Balloon Fiesta.
Drove down from Denver on Sunday (day of reservations) and got the the site a little after 8pm. Tried the lock code emailed to me, on both of the locks on the gate. But didn't work on either one. Called the number on the site, and it just went to voicemail.
We reached out to chat support on recreation.gov, they didn't have a lock code, and told me to call the number, that we already called. Since they didn't have a solution, they requested a refund on their end.(got the email conformation)
72 Hours after recreation.gov requested a refund i still haven't heard anything, and the request is still pending, on my reservation.
We ended up having to back track, an hour to the nearest rest area, and car camping for the night. Then found new accommodations the next day, for the remainder of the trip. Currently out the reservation cost plus the extra 120 miles of driving.

Great site, wonderfully maintained at an excellent cost. Obviously power and potable water would be nice to have. It was perfect for our Cub Scout weekend campout. Plenty of parking, open space for tents, and close enough to ABQ to be convenient if things are forgotten.
