Founded in 1610, La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asís is the oldest capital city in the United States. Most people simply know it Santa Fe, New Mexico. Resting at an elevation of 7,200 feet, in a wide valley between two mountain ranges, Santa Fe is known as “The City Different” for its unique culture and historical atmosphere. The biggest draw to Santa Fe is its historic downtown area, where much of its original architecture and character has been preserved. Visitors are invited to dine at sidewalk cafes, roam arts and crafts galleries, and shop in local boutiques. There’s also plenty to explore just outside of the city, including hiking and skiing in the Santa Fe Mountains, ancient pueblos at Pecos National Historic Park, and the former ghost town Madrid, and its variety of eclectic shops, galleries and eateries.
Located just a few miles southwest of the historic downtown area, the Los Sueños de Santa Fe RV Park & Campground offers nearly 100 drive-in and pull-through RV campsites. Sites can accommodate vehicles/trailers up to 70 feet, and provide full or partial hookups. A selection of campsites are available for small vehicles and tent campers. Resort amenities include restrooms, shower and laundry facilities, picnic pavilion, barbecue area, playground, swimming pool, and free Wifi service; a dump station is available onsite. Restaurants, groceries and a movie theater are within just a few minutes’ walking distance, and visitors can use the Santa Fe trail system to walk or ride all the way to the historic downtown area. Pets are welcome, with restrictions. Campsite rates are $36–$54/night.
Campground is neglected. Our site needed weed wacking as did most of the Campground. While it is dog friendly, the grounds were full of prickly spurs that my dog was fearful of walking due to the painful spurs getting stuck in his paws. Dog run is non existent.
Pull through site was unlevel.
Neighbors had multiple animals and their site emitted the odor of a kennel.
Even though we paid for 3 nights, we left early.
Bathrooms not well kept and equivalent to that of a gas station you would get to and decide to hold it instead.
On the plus side, front office very friendly and helpful.
I’ve read several of the mostly negative comments. We stayed here 4 nights, I would say we were pretty darn lucky to stay in a place that offered water, electricity and sewage amenities. Try finding another place that offers these in Santa Fe. My dog liked the dog park, a lot better than a little fenced in area most RV parks offer. First impression was it was alittle rough. GPS found it but we arrived after 6:00pm. Wisely I called to say we would arrive after closing, so I got our site number. The bathrooms have a code to get in, and fortunately our site neighbor shared with us. We have found the bathrooms to be fine. Wonderful hot showers. Location got us to historical Santa Fe and we opted to commute to Los Alamos because the White Rock rv park was in a parking lot with porta potties. So when you look at this place realistically, we’ve got it pretty good!
Saw a lot of negative comments but the place worked great for us. The showers were clean and hot, our spot was level, and the location was exactly what we wanted for staying in our camper van but close to the city. We will probably be back!
