From Albuquerque: Follow Interstate 40 east. Take Exit 175, (Turquoise Trail National Scenic Byway, NM 14) which is 6.5 miles from Tramway Blvd. Go 4 miles north through Cedar Crest. We are located on the left side of the road; look for the campground billboard and Museum of Archaeology signs. Turn left (west) on Snowline Road and go 1/4 mile. From Santa Fe: Exit Interstate 25 at Exit 278A, or if in town, go south on Cerrillos Road. Follow the Turquoise Trail National Scenic Byway or NM Hwy. 14 south for 44 miles . Look for the camping and Museum of Archaeology signs; turn right on Snowline Road and go 1/4 mile.
Very nice park, good on-site amenities. Shower laundry Etc. The showers are communal and the door to the bathroom cannot be locked. Stayed in a space with no sewer hookup but we were able to dump on our way out. Close to Albuquerque and Edgewood. Some great local restaurants within a few minutes drive.
Absolutely beautiful location. New owner helped me find a spot and he was very welcoming. Woman at desk was fantastic!
Road heading up there was rough, lots of potholes so be careful not to bottom out. Peaceful nights sleep. Sights are level and spacious.
Some suggestion- Your nice sign on road needs to have turquoise color on it. Sign for lower loop needs to be before the turn. Have a list of restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
If I travel this way again, I will be back.
We journeyed from the heart of Michigan, our original plan being a rustic weekend under the canvas of our trusty tent. However, the bite of the chill air on our arrival, coupled with the encroaching darkness, led us to a different decision. We opted to embrace a cozier retreat, opting for a charming cabin rental. This delightful dwelling became our haven for the entire weekend.
The cabin, adorned with quaint charm, welcomed us warmly, setting the stage for a truly enchanting experience. Throughout our stay, we reveled in its comforts and coziness. Pristine cleanliness graced the bathroom and showers, contributing to our overall sense of well-being. The people we encountered, those stewards of this rustic haven, exhibited nothing but the utmost friendliness and hospitality, making us feel like cherished guests. The campground itself maintained impeccable standards of cleanliness, a testament to its caretakers' dedication.
In this serene and tranquil setting, the cacophony of city life faded into distant memory, replaced by a soothing symphony of nature's own making. If you seek an exceptional escape, an oasis of serenity, I implore you to explore The Turquoise Trail Campground. Nestled in the embrace of Albuquerque, New Mexico's scenic beauty, it stands as a paragon of excellence among its peers.
Amazing place to stay! The people at this campground were so nice, and I was amazed by all the amenities here, especially the sink with soap and sponges for dishwashing. We drove over from Phoenix for the solar eclipse, and they told us that we could watch the whole thing from our campsite, which we didn't know, but we ended up doing that and it was amazing. The location, the suggestions from management, and coupons to local businesses in the area all make this place a must-stay, whether you are in an RV or tent or would like a cabin. They have it all, and I would definitely return here.
