The campground's beautiful setting and accessible paved paths enhance the experience for those using mobility aids.

My family and friends have stayed at both sides of this campground and both are fantastic. The views and the surroundings are superb and the site is maintained fantastically. Have recommended to many people and will use the areas again.

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.
