I liked this rustic remote campground very much. It was tricky maneuvering with a 31 foot TT. Sites not very level. Liked having trees block the next site. About 3 miles of trails within the park. The access is steep in places and either dirt or gravel. Could be a problem in rainy weather. Great Pueblo Ruins in the area.

I wonder who they had layout the campsites here. For motor homes and trailers many of the electric sites are not well designed. Site 14 has the picnic table at the front of the site almost next to the road. Ideally electric and table should be on the opposite sides of the driveway, not the case here.Fire ring is at the furthest point in the site from the picnic table. Other reviews had talked about accessibility in wet weather. The last .2 of a mile of the road into the park is a steep hill that clearly is problematic in the rain. I am uploading a picture of the hill. The first 70 feet of the hill is about a 9% grade. There is a sign at the beginning of the road that says “Last chance to turn around”. At that spot the road looks perfectly reasonable .

We backed out 1/3 mile to the pavement and had to find a private RV park for the night. There were no rangers, no one answered a call to the park, and even a call to 911 trying to get some kind of signage or warning up for others arriving to the park was fruitless.

Bring everything you need the nearest town, Mountainair, is a half hour away. Most of the campsites are pretty shallow and difficult to get the larger trailers in.
I was there in Early May and enjoyed the Manzano Peak Trail hike you can find the route using AllTrails. The trail is narrow in spots but the view of the Rio Grande valley was well worth it. I didn't hurry and took lots of photos so it took me 5 hours. Around 2500' of climb. I would also recommend the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Park sites in the area. The Visitor Center is in Mountainair.
The last bit of road just before the camp is steep and a bumpy. The location of your site can be hard to find.

Roads in were a little tight with our rig, but not a problem. Arrived 10 minutes before a huge thunder storm! Glad we were in before the hail came down. Great little park off the beaten path! Very clean and seem friendly enough. A little weird set up, but not a problem at all. Vault toilets, water spigots around the camp, but not at individual sites and 30amp at some sites. Also be aware...NO showers. Some small hiking trails that are well set up around the camp. Enough to stretch your legs and get some fresh air in amongst the pine trees!

Takes a little traveling to get here, but you are rewarded with crossing into a beautiful Ponderosa Pine forest Site 8 was big enough for our 35' travel trailer and RAM 2500 truck -- and had electric!! Spacious site with rock retaining wall. Pit toilets only, we did not use them. Good hiking in area. We hiked the outer loop trail in the park, and could have gone through a gate into National Forest land. Several National Forest trails nearby. Campground host, Dan, very friendly. We will definitely come again for a longer stay if traveling near Albuquerque again Cell tower right outside the park! Steller's Jays visited our campsite every day--also several Abert's squirrels..

We will be back! Very well taken care of. Our site was a first come site, 30 amp electric. Water is available but strangely you have to ask for the spigot to be unlocked, there must be a story there. Dump station at exit with fresh water. Vault toilets but no showers. Great hiking trails.
