We have a F350 with a slide-in camper and we chose #20. I should have done more research, but it was definitely too small for us. The online pictures looked like it would be fine, but after we booked it, it did say it was hard to get your vehicle level. We wouldn't even fit in the parking space. We moved to a 1st come 1st serve spot in the next campground over and it was perfect. Thank you for the Park Service for helping me with that!!! It is a very nice campground however. Clean bathrooms with even spaces to wash your dishes if you are tent camping. I would definitely go hear again!! I did learn my lesson, hopefully before booking a site.

Campsites well developed. While seemingly close to each other, the change in level, terrain, & surrounding trees made it feel more private. Bathrooms were very good. Appreciate having services such as the dump station & community water access. Great to be so close to Bandelier & surrounding trails.

sweet, quiet, beautiful campground. HIkes right from the campground! Hike all downhill on the Frey trail to the visitor center, then take the free shuttle back to the campground!

Clean, orderly campground. Registration was very easy.

Excellent hiking; the falls trail was beautiful. The camp sites all seemed fairly private and the firewood available at the campground was really nice.
@CharlesT783946 · Camped on Apr 7, 2026
Inspiring. There was an issue when a camper thought they had reserved the spot i was in by leaving personal stuff ath site. Someone took it. Juniper if FF. Here are cards at each site indicating if it open or occupied. The protocol is find aan open site . Se up if you can. At minimum, flip the card to occupied, go pay for it at the kiosk, and return immediately. Dont expect to leave personal stuff alone to hold the site.

Our early April camping trip to Juniper Campground was lovely. The weather was ideal, and the Ponderosa pines surrounding our site provided the perfect amount of shade. Bonus to have running water in the bathrooms and a dishwashing facility. The campground was full during our visit, but our fellow campers were quiet and respectful. Bandelier National Monument is a short 3-minute drive or shuttle ride. We will be back!

Great campground. Clean facilities, hiking trail right from camp. Sites are great!
@marakF6D63B3C5 · Camped on Mar 29, 2026
The campsite was great. Bathroom facilities were clean and dish washing so no was a nice bonus. Proximity to Bandelier trails and to Los Alamos make this a good location.

Wonderful clean and quiet campground, with great access to Bandolier. Loved staying with my two dogs.
@AnabellaW1D3A6 · Camped on Mar 28, 2026
Nice camp sites, with enough room between them. Plenty of space to spread out, good picnic tables, etc. Very clean bathrooms.
@KamilleP5B660E · Camped on Mar 27, 2026
The grounds are beautiful and located at the top of the canyon. The facilities are well maintained and enjoyable. Highlight was eating sandwiches and watching the sun set.
@SaraVFED67259B · Camped on Mar 25, 2026
Beautiful setting
@RebeccaOE9528F · Camped on Mar 24, 2026
Campground sites are close to each other and not all are level. But the campground is beautiful and quiet, with a handy dishwashing station and spigot.
@WilliamF458474 · Camped on Mar 22, 2026
Very clean and well thought out campground. The use of natural shade and native flora was excellent.

The bathrooms were very clean, with running water and lights. Firewood was available for a donation (honor system). The campsites were clean and even had bear-proof lockers for storage.
@MichaelL540355 · Camped on Mar 20, 2026
Great place. Fantastic amenities!
@Katelynne0A972 · Camped on Mar 19, 2026
Kind rangers and staff. The site was very clean and they had nice restrooms.
@RobertH1222975 · Camped on Mar 18, 2026
Great place to spend time with the family.
@MarlysH817A530 · Camped on Mar 17, 2026
We often stay at the campground and have several favorite sites. Bathrooms are always clean and well lit at night. Kitchen room has hot water for dish cleanup. Camp host is helpful and friendly. Back country hiking through mesa tops and canyons is amazing though not recommended in hot weather. Nice hike into Frijoles canyon to see cave dwellings and pictographs from the campground.
@ClaudiaCC8B1BE · Camped on Mar 17, 2026
Very beautiful place, the rangers were extremely helpful and kind, the facilities are also great.
@RonB1001477 · Camped on Mar 17, 2026
Juniper Campground is located on the plateau above Frijoles Canyon, and as a result has great views and yet is still close to the ruins. The campground was clean and well maintained when we visited in March. Towering Ponderosa Pines are scattered throughout the campground, so the daily breeze provided a nice calming white noise, while the trees provided nice shady areas.

Muy bonito y limpio

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

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.
