The bathrooms needed to be maintained more often. Other than that our stay was perfect.

Great proximity to the falls, and site was overall clean and comfy with easy access to the water spigot. Lots of folks had big rigs, but generators weren't going day and night like in some campgrounds.

The Campground Loop we stayed in had one of the vault toilets closed when we arrived 6/15. By the morning of 6/17 one of the 2 vaults in the remaining toilet in our loop was also closed. The campground host said that the contractor who's supposed to pump it out didn't have anyone to do it.
That's not really up to par.
However, the campground itself was very nice, and the forest there is beautiful!

The campground is located in a lovely Ponderosa pine forest. There are a lot of attractions within driving distance that are easy to get to. Also Jemez Falls is a very short drove or easy walk from the campground.

I do have some criticism on the cleanliness of the campground. There is a host who checks reservations, and who sweeps the bathrooms and puts toilet paper out (he has no key to toilet paper holders so just stacks it on the bar). However, the bathrooms were never wiped down or washed during the entire week we were there, and the risers were getting pretty gross. Having been a host for a concessionaire in a different state and forest, the cleanliness of the bathrooms were a priority for us. The rules on the bathrooms also stated you were supposed to clean your campsite when you leave it (we did), but most do not. Lots of little bits of trash everywhere, and if the fire ring was full, people had obviously cleaned them, but dumped the ashes close by. Sad to see. I realize the USFS doesn't charge much for the night ($5 is really cheap), but people have no clue how to "leave no trace" at that price. Perhaps charge more, pay host & forest service workers more to maintain a cleaner campground.
