I typically rate campgrounds as they fit into 1 of 5 categories. This campground will be rated as a Basecamp — grounds that offer a comfortable home base that you’re happy to return to after a day of exploring the surrounding area. Ratings for this category are based on: Value to cost: 4 Overall grounds: 4 Utility of sites (hookups, layout, accessibility): 4 Local Attraction Proximity: 5 Reservation Process/Ease of Getting a Site: 5 Amenities: 5 Customer Service: 5 Cleanliness: 4

The staff at this place are 5-star, lovely & friendly people. We stayed 5 nights are these grounds to explore the surrounding areas — Santa Fe (15 min from Historic Plaza), Albuquerque (50 minutes via 25 or a lovely trip down the nearby Turquoise Trail) and Bandera National Monument (1 hour). Each spot has a nice concrete patio. Though sites are somewhat close, you’re not right on top of your neighbors.

In COVID times, there were some restrictions like the market & office being closed. However, there was staff there for any issues. We used the laundry and restrooms, both kept immaculate. I received a package at the resort, a seamless process.

Our biggest gripes were the water pressure (not terrible but definitely not great) and the amount of ants around. We brought it up to the office on day 2 and they said they were awaiting a pet-friendly spray delivery. By day 5, the ants were still attempting to lift & move our trailer. It made it difficult to enjoy the outdoors, though the views are really beautiful. Sunsets are epic and there is a walking trail around the grounds.

Good price, good value, great staff... an excellent spot to stay in the Santa Fe area!
