Such a lovely campground! A small stream (which our Camp Host said it was overflowing when he got there in May), nice sized camp spots with a table and fire ring, clean toilets and garbage bins. Drove over to the San Gregorio reservoir trailhead and enjoyed the easy hike to it. Our Host Joe was so helpful and friendly. Really enjoyed our visit! Had never been on this side of the Jemez before and it was great to see this area.

Amazing campground. I didn't see one piece of trash on our walks. Views are beautiful. Campground was quiet and peaceful. Toilets were well maintained. Overall excellent experience.

★★★★★ 5.0 Richard Timmons · Jul 2023

Nice quiet campground. Impeccably maintained. Cleanest bathrooms you'll ever find at a US Forest Campground. Camp host takes pride in maintaining the grounds and restrooms. A job well done by someone who cares. Great job, Joe. This campground has a beautiful meadow backdrop to the south. The Rio de los Vacas river runs along the eastern edge of the campground. The 15 sites are spaciously separated, providing campers privacy. We look forward to returning.

We stayed midweek during May and it was perfect. This is a wonderful, quiet, secluded and very well maintained campground with clean toilets. Camp host Steve was kind and friendly and stopped by to welcome us. He does a GREAT job keeping this campground in tip-top shape. Camp sites are immaculate and spaces spread out with lots of privacy in wooded areas. We saw several elk and quite a few deer near by. Easy drive from Albuquerque and looking forward to going back soon. Jim & Sharon

Restrooms were so clean thanks to camp host Joe! Drinking water is available. River access at the campground. Plan to visit again.
