Beautiful and quiet spot! Lots of great hikes nearby and the campground amenities (water access, bathrooms etc) were very comfortable!

@TracyB1260578 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #45

Beautiful, quiet campground. Bathrooms were spotless and checked daily. Loved our hosts Dave and Chere.

@DavidM1864120 · Camped on Aug 7, 2024 at Campsite #18

Very wild, a good get away! This is primitive camping so be ready.

@JamieG3126174 · Camped on Jul 29, 2024 at Campsite #28

Possibly the cleanest campground I've stayed in so far in New Mexico! Camp host was friendly, sites are clean, bathrooms are clean. Only down side is most sites in loop B are going the opposite direction of the flow of traffic so it is very difficult to back into.

@DanyssaDEF5343 · Camped on Jul 27, 2024 at Campsite #28

Great views, quiet and peaceful area. Bathroom wasnt that far and the campsite itself is very clean. Bathrooms were clean too!

Beautiful and uncrowded campground! We had planned to spend two nights in Juniper Campground and then added another as it was so lovely. The camp hosts who are so helpful and fun to talk with, the beauty of the campground and the hikes available at Bandelier make it a perfect place to stay and relax. We will be coming to stay again!

@SylviaM8D157E8 · Camped on Jul 18, 2024 at Campsite #20

Loved the location in relation to nearby towns to visit. Very clean bathrooms & campground, Quiet and easy access to hiking trails right from the camp. Only drawback is sites very close together, but since not busy during our visit, was not an issue.

Great campground. I stayed in site C40 (Coyote Loop) which was a short walk to the water spigot and a little further to the bathroom. There's a short trail right next to this site that leads to the amphitheater and some hiking trails. The bathroom lights are really bright at night so I'm glad this site was not right next to it. Firewood is available for $1 per log at the campground entrance (cash only).

@SusanH8664991 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #23

Lovely place I highly recommend but keep in mind no power and no showers. We had an outdoor shower we set up so that worked.

@JimP5953231 · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #28

We stayed 2 nights on the Black Bear Loop at Juniper. The sites are very attractive, nestled amongst the Ponderosa pines. The bathrooms are clean and the co-located dishwashing closet is a real plus for us tent campers. It would be wonderful see the the nearby amphitheater area spruced up and in use, with a ranger talk in the evening.

@ForrestS3C0E7A · Camped on Jul 1, 2024 at Campsite #46

Lovely campground, but the lights on the outside of the bathroom building were too bright, which really marred the "dark skies" experience for us. I don't think you need any lights outside the bathroom, and a dimmer light inside would be sufficient.

@DaveA1580673 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #52

Loved it!

@BradW2662885 · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #19

Great campground! Clean, level pull in, clean bathrooms super close to site, and very quiet all night! Highly recommend!!

@JoanJ7191683 · Camped on Jun 13, 2024 at Campsite #23

An amazing campground for several reasons. Amazing trees and privacy at many sites. Wonderfully quiet and close enough to the North Rim for you to make visiting pleasant. Camping store with gas across the street that has AWESOME coffee and food from a food truck. The most CLEAN vault bathrooms I have used EVER!!! Go to that store! The mule ride was awesome and if you don't want a busy hike, get away from the North Rim main routes and head to the Wilderness areas, they are stunning as well.

@KirillK824EBD5 · Camped on Jun 5, 2024 at Campsite #21

Very nice campground, quiet and with enough privacy.

@MichelleP94407 · Camped on Jun 3, 2024 at Campsite #19

This was a beautiful campground, and the restroom facilities were very clean. It was nice to have flush toilets in a campground like this. The only negative was that when we booked the site, we entered our trailer length and the site we booked said that our trailer would fit. When we got there it wouldnt. Most of the sites are very short and hard to back into. We knew this, but the search revealed our trailer would fit. We tried to switch to another site but there was no internet service, and the camp hosts had a sign out that said they were unavailable. We lost our money on the first site, drove into town 20 minutes to get service, and reserved another site that we could fit into. We lost a lot of time having to do this and tried to see the camp host the next day, and they were still unavailable. They were unavailable for our entire stay of 3 days. If we are to depend on the internet, there should at least be Wi-Fi in a centralized location such as the gate in order to reserve a site.

@TimF3815900 · Camped on May 30, 2024 at Campsite #41

Nice campground. Clean, quiet, beautiful natural surroundings.

@WilliamH158481 · Camped on May 29, 2024 at Campsite #44

The campground is in a great location, with reasonable access to many trails and to the town of Los Alamos. The bathroom had flush toilets and running water, a bit of a luxury for us. Our sites were clean and easily accommodated four tents. We had a potable water spigot between our two sites - perfect.

@AndrewH72958A4 · Camped on May 28, 2024 at Campsite #47

So pretty

@CarsonD626F0E9 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #46

The Juniper Campground at Bandelier National Monument was great! The campground area was clean, the restrooms were well-kept, and the proximity to Frijoles Canyon can't be beat. I like that each spot had a large bear box for food storage, a large picnic table, and nice fire pit. The hill right behind our campsite provided a fantastic view of the sunrise over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Wow! That was spectacular to witness. While staying in Bandelier you must make the hike to the Alcove House. It's only a mile or so from the visitor center and gives you the opportunity to climb 140 feet of ladders to view the valley below from an ancient dwelling. Even if you are not up to climbing the ladders, the hike itself along the riparian gym of Frijoles Creek is well worth the time.

Was a great base camp

@RobertJ5338880 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #32

Some small sites but otherwise great facilities kept clean by a friendly staff. Also offers great access to bandolier via the Frey trail.

@SuzannaS861783 · Camped on May 23, 2024 at Campsite #33

Really great park and campground. Facilities are clean, nice, and up to date. Real toilets and sinks with water and soap feels like a treat in a national park!. Campsites are spaced nicely and we had plenty of room. The driveways are a tad short and our site was not that level, but it did not impact our trip. The trails are well maintained and aside from the points of interest, there are plenty of things to see and do. We will definitely be back!

@JoyceO2BC1C905 · Camped on May 22, 2024 at Campsite #49

Such a beautiful and peaceful campsite! The park is so magnificent and we enjoyed our hiking there!

@DarylH4740523 · Camped on May 21, 2024 at Campsite #42

It is a nice normal clean campground in a forested area. But why are the toilets so high!?

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
