Four and a half miles northeast of Santa Fe, this KOA sits in the foothills where high desert terrain meets the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The campground accommodates RVs up to 65 feet with full hookups, though reviewers consistently note the access road can be rough. Highway proximity means road noise is a constant presence, particularly for sites positioned toward the front of the property.
Each site includes native trees and plants that provide natural screening between neighbors. Traci M. notes "each site has native trees and plants, so everyone has privacy." The property features both pull-through and back-in options, with some sites offering upgraded amenities like patio furniture and grills. Tent campers get level spots with fire pits and picnic tables, though the highway noise affects all areas of the campground.
The bathhouse draws positive reviews for cleanliness and hot water, though it runs small for the campground's size. A game room provides indoor recreation, while the on-site dog park gives pets space to exercise. The camp store stocks basic supplies, and propane refills are available on-site. WiFi coverage receives consistently good marks from visitors. Some upgraded sites feature what staff calls "PAW Pen Plus" areas for pets.
Winter operations shut off water to individual sites, though heated restrooms remain accessible year-round. Snooz H. praised staff responsiveness, noting "Laura & Jess did an amazing job handling the situation" during a site mix-up. Reservations are recommended, especially for the upgraded sites that command premium pricing.
Campers wanting a quieter alternative can check Santa Fe Ridgetop Oasis, located 1.3 miles west with less highway exposure.
Description
Ah, this campground is a desert oasis at the end of a busy day. The patio is a delightful resting spot in the shade, where you can watch hummingbirds whiz by. This is your home base as, day by day, you visit the Santa Fe Plaza, San Miguel Mission, Palace of the Governors, Loretto Chapel or Canyon Road, where you'll find many galleries and artists to observe. Summer brings an abundance of festivals to enjoy. And don't forget the wonderful local cuisine! Many restaurants are small family-run establishments, and the recipes handed down through the ages keep getting better. Relax at the campground and plan your next day's activities. Will it be the Rio Grande Gorge or a day touring Native American ruins? Whatever you decide, it will enrich your life. Max pull thru: 65 feet. Your hosts: Larry and Phyllis Pasekoff.
