Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Amazing campground and definitely one of our favorites in New Mexico. We stayed over Labor Day weekend after a site popped open in June. We had site 4 which was private, had water/electric, and backed up to a view of the Pedernal and the lake. It was a paved driveway and fairly level. Great for our small 14’ teardrop and tow vehicle. May be tight for larger rigs. We had a covered picnic table, fire pit and the best grill of any campground we’ve stayed at - it was enclosed with a large grill space. We put our charcoal in it and it was like an oven with the lid closed! Cooked up great foil dinners, then used it to place our Dutch oven in it with lid open. Perfect!
The downside was the proximity to bathroom (we don’t have one in our teardrop), which were also close to the vault toilets. Wish our loop had these spread out more so the other side of the loop had easier access to a bathroom. The other downside was the very bright beaming light from the host campsite that was adjacent to our site - it beamed towards our site and was on until about 10pm nightly. This did not make for good campfire ambiance and wish it was turned in another direction.
Camp hosts were the most friendly of any campground we have stayed at! Great info and super nice! Location was great for fishing and exploring, plus convenient to Bodes store and a half hour from Espanola shopping.
Would absolutely stay again, but in a different site!

One night stay. We had a level back-in site with no amenities other than a picnic shelter...with generator and solar it doesn't matter.
No real access to lake from campground due to bank failure.
Numerous pit toilets and two men's and women's bathroom/ shower buildings within short walk. We did not use showers but there is hot water.
Would be a great place to watch sunsets overlooking the Abiquiu Reservoir.
Ghost Ranch is just minutes up the road.

My wife and I spent 3 days here in late May. Because we planned out trip a little late, we actually stayed the first night in Spot 16 (no hookups) and then the last 2 at Spot 14 (electric and water). Spot 16 was in the "Chama Loop" and I have to say, this loop is really not for our rig (a 30' Class A). We had a pull in spot, and fit okay, but the spots here are all on the smaller side and we mostly saw tents and some truck campers and a couple of Class Bs. We could NOT get level on our site without some serious efforts and more blocks than I really like. We never got level enough to feel comfortable putting out our slides. When we moved the next day to Spot 14 (in the Pedernal Loop, where the only electric/water sites are), it was much better. Leveling was easy as can be. The hookups were very conveniently located and we had no complaints here. Very spacious lot. Picnic tables under cover, a grill and a fire pit.
Spaces between spots are fairly generous. Not huge, but far better than most commercial sites. We felt very much "alone" here.
Some great things: the camp hosts Al and Cindy were INCREDIBLY helpful and friendly. Best hosts we've ever had! The playground is excellent (we don't have little kids, but we actually enjoyed the swings and such ourselves one evening!). The views of the lake are very good (you can't get down to the lake from here, but the extra height made for great views), and the walking trail from the visitor center to the boat launch goes right through the park, so you can join it easily if you wish. Dump station has two dump spots, which was nice. There are lots of picnic areas, and the tent sites looked very nice too.
Not the greatest: other than the aforementioned levelness issues, I was amused to see how steep the road down to the little "front gate" is. Not ideal for RVs! You come down off a Mesa to the much lower campground on a fairly steep grade, and 2/3 of the way down, you have to stop to check in. Just seemed weird. The dump station has NO hose hookup for the non-potable water (just a weird contraption that sprays water everywhere), so no easy way to flush the black tank, which I don't love.
Connectivity: no wi-fi. And the cell signal is spotty. We were able to use my iphone to create a Verizon hot spot, and actually, after a struggle, could watch some Netflix. But then surfing sometimes went from slow but okay to non-existent. My one word review would be: inconsistent. And now, we don't spent our time surfing the internet, but for doing research, checking email, etc., it was not ideal. Workable, but not the best.
We'd stay here again without question. Already talking about what we'll do next time we're here.

We stayed for one night here, we had paid for 2 nights 3 days. We had two dogs with us and we got a park and walk up tent only - camp site. We had site 48 which is pretty far from the parking area with a little hill to hike up. The area is super clean and well ran. They had a bathroom close by with showers. We just did not like the fact that it was hard to fish there, we had to go down to the boating dock area to fish off a cliff and it wasn't exactly what we were hoping for. We decided to pack up and leave after fishing was a bust. Overall great camping spot but not good if you want to fish without a boat.
