No water was bad enough but then as soon as I pulled into space, entire campground electricity went out & park ranger was very condescending ... And the site was supposed to be for my 40' rig & it was so small that I was forced to pull in on an angle & still sticking out in street ... He said call recreation.gov & when I called recreation.gov they said I'd have to talk to park ranger since their system didn't even say there was an issue ... and of course this happened after park ranger left the location ... NO ONE ONSITE TO TALK TO ! Electricity didn't come back on until next day but was still charged rate of a site with WATER & ELECTRICITY ... Asked for a credit & was denied ... First time at a USACE location & will never go to another one !!!

CONS: dirty restrooms (didn't use, had my camper), no potable water, road into campground had HUGE potholes so drive very slowly/carefullyPROS: camped in October and only a few other people there, very quiet, campsites were very level and fairly well spaced out, only $10 a night for my electric!

@VickieW6ACC7A3 · Camped on Oct 5, 2024 at Campsite #4

To start the road in needs major repairs and the entrance area and then up to the park. Signage into the park needs to be better.Not sure why the park closes mid October.

@AndrewF3500044 · Camped on Oct 4, 2024 at Campsite #48

This review is solely for the campground. The tent loop (Coyo) is all street parking, no driveways. The sites are well spaced and have beautiful views, but most of them are so unmaintained that youd have a tough time finding anywhere to pitch your tent at all. Its worth the extra few bucks to stay in the loop with hookups just to have a good tent pad. The bathrooms are serviceable, but theyre also long since forgotten about. Its beautiful, but I dont think anybody has maintained the grounds in decades. The BIA road coming in is all paved and isnt horrendous, but be very careful as there are some large (avoidable) pot holes that could easily ruin your day. Recommend you come before sunset for this reason.

Beautiful. It's older compared to the sites on the other side of the lake.There is H2O at one pump at the entrance after the dump station. H20 in the toilet house and sinks in the toilet house only. The night sky is amazing. The sites are big but they need a little racking for your own benefit.

@WilliamF458474 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #13

Showed up for reservation to showers being locked and no water at camp site. This was our rest stop and we left a day early. Plus no host.

@MichaelR189137 · Camped on Oct 12, 2022 at Campsite #37

Nice place to camp, not fancy.

@LindaJB8981397 · Camped on Oct 5, 2022 at Campsite #9

This was a wonderful little campground. The views are exceptional and it was so wonderfully quiet out there, which is one of the things I love. The only downside at all was there were lots of goat head stickers but that’s the only problem. Showers were decent and lots of hot water and all together a great experience.

@AmyE3367893 · Camped on Oct 1, 2022 at Campsite #51

Only stayed from late night until early morning when another arrangement fell through. Beautiful to wake up there. Didn't get to explore but would another time.

@MichaelS838841 · Camped on Oct 1, 2022 at Campsite #29

Check in was easy, friendly and helpful camp host. The park is well kept and the bathrooms were clean. We enjoyed our stay and if in the area again would make a point to revisit.

@CarolK7612349 · Camped on Oct 1, 2022 at Campsite #7

We had to groom our site: Pull knee high weeds; cut down small tree from under picnic table so it could be used; mark two very large ant hills in order to avoid them. Very hard for women to shave legs when there's no light in the shower room

@johnc3063297 · Camped on Sep 9, 2022 at Campsite #13

The family and I really enjoyed this spot. Easy access to swimming and boat launch. The road didn't seem as bad as others who posted made it out to be or they've done some repairs. Nice views and quite. We will be going again.

@KristyB5137791 · Camped on Sep 2, 2022 at Campsite #3

It’s a great little campground.

@AaronA6106490 · Camped on Aug 13, 2022 at Campsite #36

Beautiful area, no bugs UNTIL the sun went down. You have been warned. lol

@LarryG4149139 · Camped on Jul 27, 2022 at Campsite #2

Campground has an open layout with just a few small trees but overall pleasant. There were only a very few other campers there during our stay in late July so the close sites were not a problem for us. A very quite area several miles from other activity though still relatively close to Santa Fe for day trips. The booking site and descriptions say there are showers available but the showers look like they had been closed for some time and the maintenance man did not know when they would be opened again. Otherwise the restrooms were very clean and well maintained. No showers were a big disappointment as that is the primary reason we chose this campground.

@johnh172 · Camped on Oct 11, 2019 at Campsite #17

The road to the campground is horrible, other than that it is a clean and quiet .

@rogerb855 · Camped on Oct 5, 2019 at Campsite #4

Beautiful site, very clean.

@LloydD659 · Camped on Oct 4, 2019 at Campsite #26

I love the campgrounds I think it’s prettier then the other side. I like the lookout a lot. The road going out needs work there are a lot of really bad pot holes in the asphalt. There were four camping spots covered in goat heads. That need to be cleaned up really bad before they overrun other ones. Besides that just really an awesome place.

@marytereseb236 · Camped on Oct 4, 2019 at Campsite #17

Beautiful location. Quiet. The road up to the campground has some large potholes that you'll want to avoid (this was Oct 2019). IMPORTANT: Before you select a campsite, be sure to inspect it for GOATHEADS. We stepped out of our rig and our shoes, tires, and dog's paws were immediately covered with them. If you're there earlier in the season and recognize the plant, please do everyone a favor and pull them up and throw them away. Not all sites have them, but these things spread like mad and are a real pita. Just don't let them stop you from enjoying this sweet campground. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribulus_terrestris

@barryf694 · Camped on Oct 3, 2019 at Campsite #4

Close enough to visit Santa Fe but remote enough to enjoy the expanse of New Mexico.

@MarciaC999 · Camped on Sep 24, 2019 at Campsite #34

We live only 30 minutes away, but enjoy going over for a few days just to get out of the house for a while. We have camped there for many years. I'm sorry to say that the camp ground and main road in are going to serious disrepair. The road into the camp ground looks like a remnant of WWII. I have been given a reason for the lack of maintenance, and I understand. It would be sad to not be able to use T.P. and enjoy the Cottonwoods and lake any longer. Thank you, Michael Kluck

@MarciaK707 · Camped on Sep 20, 2019 at Campsite #13

Spacious sites. Sun shelters are metal. Being up on a Mesa means gorgeous views but can be hot, breezy, windy, cold, wet, stormy, or ‘perfect’. Just depends on time of year. This location is well established and it has been in existence for awhile. Expect adequate amenities but ‘not new, not perfect’. Shhh don’t tell to many people about this diamond in the rough.

@FrankE234 · Camped on Sep 16, 2019 at Campsite #22

Park is down a road that is a little rough but if you go slow it is worth the drive. Just south of Santa Fe with large sites and ok shower house. Showers need new shower heads but plenty of hot water & was clean when we were there. Park was not very full when we were there in September 2019. Price for Seniors with Golden Age Pass is very good. Found the lady park host to be very courteous & helpful with our questions.

@VictorG640 · Camped on Sep 9, 2019 at Campsite #11

This is a perfect getaway park. Level concrete pads and beautiful scenery!

@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!!!
