Sweet Campground, the Frey trail down to the canyon really adds to the whole canyon experience! Also there is wood provided, we didnt know that till next day cause we arrived at night! Also the bathrooms are heated!

Beautiful place. I walked the trails to visitor center. It is a few miles , saw coyote.We liked C loop. Bathrooms were clean and heated. One issue we had was finding a Laundry facility. None in Los Alamos. We gave up as we did not want to go to Espanola.

Very nice spots for RV boondocking. Water is not close to sites & might need up to 4 hoses to refresh tank, or carry bottles back n forth to add water if your stay is longer than 2 days or to have handy for campfire. Clean restrooms/good lighting & dish washing sink. Well manicured grounds. Food lockers substantial to protect from Bears. >Bears & rattlers active.< Picnic table & fire pits large areas behind each parking/camping lot very spacious! Dump station adequate but pull-through narrow. About 3 miles from visitor center. Evenings very quiet for 10 occupied spaces near us.

Clean sites, mostly level, good tree coverage

@TheresaK315269 · Camped on Oct 13, 2024 at Campsite #25

Nice campground. Bathrooms were very clean and also heated, which felt great since it was cold the day I was there. Great view of the dunes from the campground as well.

This was our second visit to Juniper CG, Coyote Lp specifically. Id like to give our experience a 5 star review as the CG itself is really nice, with good amenities and site layouts, as well as a wonderful visitor center and hiking options. . However, it is time the parks get onboard with generator loops, and non-generator loops, or at the very least, short generator hours for 2 hours am, and then 2 hours pm. A few very large rigs squeezed in Coyote and were allowed to run their generators for 12 hours non-stop. Not only its the noise, its inhaling the smelly fumes all day. Most people come to camp in these parks to get away from city noise and traffic fumes and enjoy nature. A big rig next to us left his generator running even when they were not around at all, all day. It really spoiled the vibe for us. Also, it took 2 days to get soap in pthe womens restroom even after we mentioned to the host it had been empty all that day. The restroom floor in Coyote was littered with toilet paper scraps and forest litter the entire week we were there. Mens too. Other than those two gripes, we thought the CG was very nice. The shade in Coyote was a welcome relief on the hotter days. Water spigots had good pressure, and the trash was emptied regularly. The sani-dump was kept clean as well. Could have been a 5 star if not for allowing generators to run for 12 hours, and not having a loop designated no generators.

We had a lovely and peaceful campsite in early October when the weather was just perfect. Wed love to go back!

@BrianR3295011 · Camped on Oct 6, 2024 at Campsite #23

Juniper Campground was nicely appointed and maintained. Tent sites, unsurprisingly, tend to be sun-exposed. Bandelier Nat'l Monument was an unexpected treat, with its sightseeing among cliff dwellings and other insights into the history of this region.

@Christoph65538 · Camped on Oct 2, 2024 at Campsite #20

Loved the Frey trail down to the ruins and park cafe. Great weather.

@SusanTre7B3761 · Camped on Sep 30, 2024 at Campsite #48

Quiet, clean bathrooms, great access to Bandelier visitor center and trails.

@KatieAE293FF81 · Camped on Sep 27, 2024 at Campsite #26

We had a great stay here. It was perfect for our young family. Bathrooms were convenient and clean. The proximity to Bandelier National Monument and trails was great. We even had an accident and needed medical attention and the camp hosts were very helpful and directed us to the closets ER. We had a great stay and will be back.

@MaryBethT65164 · Camped on Sep 26, 2024 at Campsite #32

Great campground . Quiet. Clean restrooms.

@LarryTEB21655C · Camped on Sep 23, 2024 at Campsite #57

Enjoyed a wonderful stay at Bandelier National Monument and Juniper Campground (Coyote Loop). Bathrooms were clean, sites/fire rings were in good condition (considering the recent heavy rain), decent spacing between sites, good water access, etc. We most certainly will return in the not too distant future. Great access to Tyuonyi and Frey Trails, too. The only advice I can offer for sites in any of the campground loops is to pay close attention to the size restrictions at each specific site. We have a 17 trailer and a couple of the sites we thought would work for us turned out the opposite.

@DebraW8542591 · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #28

Beautiful facilities, very clean, very polite campers. Just a few of the campsites have tall trees, so definitely bring shade if you're camping in the summertime.

@BobS1319150 · Camped on Sep 19, 2024 at Campsite #44

Bandelier never disappoints. It's been a few years since we've camped at Juniper. Beautiful, clean, and quiet, though the sites are pretty close to each other, making privacy hard to come by at camp. The firewood is advertised as $1.00 per "stick". Be assured that they are full size split logs and they have a relatively long burn time. Definitely worth a buck.Be sure to check out the Tyuonyi Overlook Trail. It's a mostly flat and easy 2.2 mile round trip hike with an amazing reward at the end.

@MilesOC4E6949E · Camped on Sep 19, 2024 at Campsite #23

Clean facilities and very good cell service. Met a cool dude who told me about the right spots. Dont know if it was just my time there but it was the most quiet campsite I have been to. Slept like a baby.

@RobertP6375002 · Camped on Sep 19, 2024 at Campsite #27

This was a good and fairly flat site for our campervan. We were supposed to have this site for 3 nights, but someone stole our site on the 3rd night (a Friday night), which was quite frustrating. Fortunately, the camp host was able to find another site for us.

@ThomasH6812009 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #57

We spent 3 nights at Juniper CG and had a blast! The campsites are really nice, but the pads for RVs are small, although we did see some bigger rigs in there. One camper we seen had 2 sites, one for their RV and one for their tow vehicle. The hikes from the campground are really nice, but the hike down to the visitor's center can be strenous, especially when it's hot out. No hookups, but water is readly accessable, they have a dump station, and the campground bathrooms are very nice, clean, and well maintained. If you're in the area, it worth spending a couple of days here!

@RachelG3412840 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #22

We had some issues checking in because people from the crew site had pitched a tent on our pad not realizing and the host didnt catch it. Host got us moved to another site and our stay was fine overall. I eventually met the crew who accidentally put the tent in our first site and they were kind and a joy to talk to. Shout out to Rocky Mountain Youth Corp for their work in the park.

@SaraB8044081 · Camped on Sep 12, 2024 at Campsite #27

Clean campground, sites with space, great bathrooms, good trails

@KendraS79AD2BB · Camped on Sep 7, 2024 at Campsite #26

Nice campground. Quiet

@CarmenF6F19F08 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #31

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.

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!!!
