This is a great campground. The spaces are relatively far apart and the vault toilets are clean. Space #3 had just enough space for my 13 foot teardrop and Subaru. If you are using a tent you'll most likely have to use the asphalt pad as the dirt space reserved for the tent doesn't look flat enough for a tent to be set up comfortably. Spaces 4 and 5 seem to have the most privacy. Camping next to the river was wonderful. There is also access to the river from the other spaces without having to walk through someone else's camp.

This is a beautiful campground with a Rio running through it. There is a nice hiking trail at one end. There are only two restroom facilities and neither were near our site. The restrooms had the worst smell of any we have stayed at in the last five years. Definitely has its pros and cons for tent campers.

We loved this campground! Nice to have a river nearby. Large sites and clean toilets (vault toilets, but sooo clean!)

When we arrived at the campground, it was closed due to a fire in the area. The campground looked absolutely beautiful and clean!

This is such a beautiful place! We stayed in Site 3, it is close to the creek, but the table is not shaded during the day. There is however shade from trees and we stayed by the creek most of the time. The facilities were always clean and the campsites are nice. The camp host was amazing, he was lovely with my kiddos and knowledgeable about the area, he loves what he does and it shows! I really hope we see him there next year!

Stayed at campsite near creek and it was so peaceful and beautiful. The bathrooms were really clean and well stocked. The chipmunks were a cute bonus. Went hiking in San Pedro wilderness on the San Gregorio Lake trail near campsite and it was easy and beautiful. The lake is beautiful. Watch out for big bull cows though haha. It was super relaxing and quiet at the campsite. I would not recommend the road through Jemez to get to this site though. Go through Cuba or you risk getting stuck. Wish they would pave that road for easier access to Jemez and all the sites and things to do there. Cuba is not very far from this site so it was an easy drive for things like more ice for our coolers.

We loved this campground. We had originally wanted site #4 because it was further away from its neighboring sites but that one turned out to have less shade than site #3. Site #3 also had the best access to the little creek for the kids to play in. Picnic table at site #3 was in the sun at midday but it was perfect the rest of the time and tent was kept well shaded most of the day. The camp host was very friendly and knowledgeable about local activities. The drive the San Gregorio lake trailhead was short and a very nice hike. The restrooms were kept very clean. We have already made reservations for the same site for this coming summer.
