This is a fabulous campground. Well maintained, quiet, beautiful. The sites are adequately spread out for privacy. The host is amazingly helpful and friendly. The gate person is equally so. Love this place!

We got to the campsite just in the nick of time. The campground closes at 10pm and we had a long haul to get there. We were in a handicapped spot since I am impaired after spine surgery. The spot was spacious and pretty flat...we are in a camper and my husband didn't have to disconnect for the night. The host, who was right next door, was helpful and friendly. In the morning we awoke to a beautiful view out over the campground and down to the lake. Trash is collected at the sites, so it was nice to have a trash can available without heading to a dumpster. Everything was perfect, but we weren't surprised since we've been at the campground before.

What a great place to camp out and watch the sunset. We had such a nice experience. It is an older campground and is due for some love and upgrades but we found that old school charm to be perfect

The camp host were extremely rude and aggressive. I showed up a day earlier than my reservation. The female camp host said I could stay at the group shelter for the night for $18. I explained to her I was camping with friends and they reserved the site for the weekend but we booked/reserved different camp sites. The host wanted me to camp with my friends at a croup site even though there wasn’t enough power for three Rv’s at that site. When I asked about the power and water the lady became rude and the man became aggressive and started to raise his voice at me. The group shelter was paid for by my friends. I asked if I camped there would I get a refund for A-2 they said no so I insisted on keeping my reservations. The lady then changed the amount she was charging me from $18 to $60 cash I said I’ll pay it on the site she and her husband insisted on cash. at this time they said they could call the rangers. I told the man I don’t appreciate his tone and aggressive nature and that they were welcome to call the rangers. I paid the $60 and left the host camp site.

Pretty area, sites have a view of the lake & are decently spaced. Only 1 loop has power & water--others are dry camping. Can be very windy!!! Some hiking trails between campground & swim area.

Im hesitant to provide my true opinion out of stinginess- I would like to keep this great place a secret. We loved it - beautiful, great hosts, clean, lots to do within an hours drive or hike, peaceful and more.

This was my first Core of Engineers camp visit. Had high expectations. Spaces were too close together in the non electrical area, ok in the full hook up area. No way that I could find to get to the water, seemed crazy to me that you could not walk to the water. No good trail information , the brochure did not really give much detail. Would not go back there. No shade in most sites.

Awesome place to stay. Very quiet, lake views from every site. Best of all are: Al and Cyndy the park attendants. They are polite, welcoming and helpful. I wish there was a site we could stay in the whole season.

Great site. Wide open spaces. Beautiful scenery. Reasonable prices. Showers are suspect, however.

The hosts were excellent! We will probably pass through there again if we can get a reservation.
Only real disappointment is that nothing I saw on the reservation sight tells that the water for the lake is so extremely low. The regular swimming areas are inaccessible as the water is so low. Our grandson was with us and was wanting to play in the water. The fishing was a bit of a climb down to the water as well. But again, the hosts were fantastic!

View is beautiful. Staff very helpful. Area/restrooms very clean and campsites on top of each other. Cannot access lake from this site.

Awesome location! Beautiful and sites are spacious and easy to level. Close to everything—Taos, Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, Española, Los Alamos, Valles Caldera, Bandelier and El Santuario de Chimayó—and all in one day if you are a little wacky like us.

The new reservation policy should be rescinded. Though it did not affect me this time, there needs to be a fraction of the campsites that are no reservation walkin. I saw a camper with no reservation turned away with the campground 2/3 vacant. Not right!

Quite with an awesome view. It had nice hilly trails and short drive into Abiqu and the Georgia O'Keefe Museum.

Love staying there so much that we went a little out of the way to stay there on the way home. Great views from the site.
