You must reserve the spots online. It is a great location and close to Jemez falls which are beautiful and an easy walk. The rental spot included a picnic table, fire pit, with bathrooms close by and free drinking water to fill up your containers.
Beautiful campground! Very quiet and serene. Book this one for as long as you can stay. I didn't want to leave. Bring a good sweater, the nights we're much cooler than expected for the end of July. The trails are nice, scenery is amazing, and bathrooms were clean. Will definitely be returning!
Great campground with lots of space between sites. It should be far enough from everything to enjoy nature. Unfortunately, on my visit, there were people who didn't appreciate nature and just wanted to party well past dark. Others littered the trails to the falls, and someone blasted their music while "hiking". They need to crack down on this to preserve what could be a great place to just enjoy nature.
This is a nice campground - if I could give it four and a half stars I would. The only reason for taking off a half star is the abundance of RVs with generators and other noises. I tent camp and like to get away from noise and enjoy nature. When the noise quieted down, there were lots of birds in the woods moving around. We were in site 17; it was nicely wooded with Ponderosa pines and had flat spots large enough for our 4-person tent. The site is close to the restroom without being too close and was not too far from the water spigot.
Beautiful spot. 10$ a night per posted sign. First come first serve. Campfires allowed. Big open lots, Trailer / RV sizes can fit
