Camped in the electric hookup area and there are only 7 available. Vault toilets nearby that had not been maintained. Water spigot was locked due to recent main break but ranger came by to unlock during the day. Wonderful scenery, great hikes and bike trails. Nearby Santa Fe was a bonus for day trips. Busy road up to park created noise during the day. Dump station available but also locked, rangers friendly and unlocked for us. Visitor Center empty, no trail maps, etc. No phone service on Verizon but got signal up at Aspen Vista parking and down the mountain near Santa Fe. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Highest of New Mexico's state parks (8,800'), so it tends to be cool in the summer. Convenient to Santa Fe (only about 12 miles to town). Downsides: highway noise, gloomy sites (you won't get much solar power here!), unlevel sites, narrow roads, dump station never open in all the times I've been there (I hear you can get staff to open it for you, but the office is never open either, so good luck finding a ranger!), generally gloomy and dark due to heavy forestation. Oh, and I should mention that to get here from Santa Fe, you must drive through some *very* narrow old streets and take some really tight turns at intersections. In anything longer than about 25', this can be a very stressful experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It's a state park, so there is no cable or internet; but it is in a beautiful area in the mountains above Santa Fe. Quiet at night. Nice hike along the ridge line (strenuous). Had to run the ranger down in the morning to get him to unlock the dump station. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Unlike the other reviews we loved this place. Yes it is up the mountain and it is crooked and steep but it is up a mountain and the road goes to the ski resort and dead ends so it is not on a major highway. The view is amazing lots of pines there where deer and elk that in the evening would cross through the campground in the evening. We have 2 kids and the highway is not that close they could get out and play ride their bikes. The park ranger was very helpful. The store is not opened because instead of 7 people he needs the state sent 2 for summer help. Like he said most people would rather have clean restrooms then a store. When you leave and need to use the dump station just let a worker or ranger know when you are leaving and somebody will meet you to unlock the gates. You have to drive through Santa Fe to get to it, side streets and all. We will go back it was great. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

As others have noted, the campground with electrical hook-ups is located on a sloping road right off of the highway and there are no pull-throughs. There are a few small aspen trees and some shrubs between sites, but otherwise little privacy. The restroom was very clean, but there was no water and no sign to tell you where to get water! Eventually we located a ranger who told us they'd had problems with people vandalizing the pumps, so the only one working was up a hill at the ranger's maintenance station. The ranger seemed very lackadaisical... The visitors' center was closed when we were there. Proximity to Santa Fe is a plus -- but only if you have a small enough camper or a fifth wheel because the Santa Fe streets are narrow and crooked! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Delightful, even though the air was a bit thin. We stayed in a primitive site, as all the electric sites were filled, and it turned out to the best choice! The electric hook ups are sort of alongside the road, which probably isn't noisy as the traffic is rather light, but our site was the best, higher up the hillside from the road, nestled under trees. This might not work for everyone, but we ran our generator when needed, and enjoyed the birdsong the rest of the time. Ranger Mark was a big help, giving us clear directions to the park, and doing everything he could to help us get loaded with water and settled in. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The only way I can describe this RV campground we stayed in is: Being stranded on the side of the highway with electricity. When we arrived we were told that they didn't have any water over the weekend because there was such heavy use. Guess the tank had to refill. This is just too close to the highway. I would NOT bring children to this area. All of the campgrounds in the park are right off of the highway, don't know what they were thinking!! I would pass on this State Park. We left 3 days early and would never go back. There is a campground just before you get into the state park (Santa Fe Nat. Forest) called Black Canyon. This is off of the highway and it looks like they just remodeled the campsites and restrooms. No electric, but there is water located along the interior road. We're 35 ft.(& towing) and there were a few sites that we would have been able to fit into. They also have tent site pads. They are on the reservation system but do have first come sites. At least this would be better then camping on the road. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We found this park in a brochure for Santa Fe which stated "RV's welcome". We tried to call ahead for info but got the park ranger voicemail. They never returned our calls. We went anyway, unfortunately. They only had a dozen or so RV sites right alongside the road, all back in, on a grade, with a ditch alongside the road, and since we have a 39' 5th wheel it was nearly impossible. But being that this park is about 8 miles up a mountain from downtown Santa Fe, with steep grades, switchbacks and hairpin turns, it was too late to turn back for the night, so we managed, not without stress! No water, only electric, no amenities, and a very busy road this time of year due to a ski area further up the mountain. It was a beautiful drive and gorgeous scenery, but don't try it with a big rig. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Plusses are very clean, facilities in very good condition. Minuses are very few and poor quality spaces for motorhomes over 30 feet, very limited number of electric only hookups (less than 10). Biggest problem is camping area is bisected by road to Santa Fe Ski Valley and traffic noise very intrusive. Best for pop ups, truck campers and very small trailers or fifth wheels. Best camping sites by far in the more primitive side of the park east of roadway. A couple sites there that can handle a 30 foot MH but no reservations. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We picked this campground for the proximity to downtown and shopping, ie groceries, etc. The campground is about 15 min drive to downtown, depending on traffic, which can be heavy. Even though the road was nearby, traffic noise was minimal. There is a paved walking/biking trail accessed from the back of the campground, which goes all the way into downtown. Each site has its own large trash can for your trash...no walking to a dumpster. The staff were very nice and helpful. Sites are dirt but no problem leveling and our site, #32 was quite large. Cannot comment on Wi-Fi as we used our own personal hotspot. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I chose this park because it was closer to town and had cable tv per the reviews I read. It is closer to town, but no cable. Our antenna would not pick up anything. The owner who is very nice said she knew nothing about TV (the channels are listed in her brochure). OK, TV is important to me. We asked for a 50amp pull thru. We got one, but the 50amp plug is in the center of the site , while the water is in the back. We needed a longer water hose. The biggest problem about this park is that no one seems to know anything when you ask a question. We needed propane, but the person that handles that was on vacation and the fill in guy wasn't qualified to fill it and didn't know how much they charged. This place has a lot of potential and I understand the owner has only had it a year. She is very nice and I am sure will get it running smoothly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Good Sam rate. Convenient location, regular bus service into downtown Santa Fe. A senior day pass costs a dollar! Considering the parking issues in Santa Fe, a real bargain. Buses every 15 minutes, stop very close to park. Pull throughs are a bit tight for a long rig (we are 60") due to concrete bollards at end of sites. Had to jockey a bit to get in, might have been a problem if the park had been full. Friendly and helpful owners. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We chose this rv park to do a check out run on our new 5th wheel. We had a long 50amp pull-thru that was pretty level, easy to get into and quiet. Check in was quick and courteous. The location isn't too far from Santa Fe's attractions and for those who need it, buses run right by on Cerrillos Rd. We will come back for a longer stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Understand that there are many RV parks in Santa Fe and all of them are on gravel, dirt or asphalt. You will not find grass- or at least any that you can relieve your dogs on! We have stayed at several places in Santa Fe and for us, hands down, Los Suenos de Santa Fe is where we call home for the cleanest bathrooms, laundry facilities, incredibly friendly and helpful staff. We love that there is direct access to the river bottom where the dogs can go off leash and you can easily walk to the grocery store, Sam's Club or visit a myriad of shopping and restaurant options. Just in from of the park you can pick up the transit bus and buzz into downtown for $2 per person, round-trip. The sites are well spaced, level and offer both pull-throughs and back-ins with either 30 or 50 amp and a strong Wi-Fi signal. All sites are gravel and offer concrete pads with picnic tables and provide individual, lined trashcans. The park is very clean and located just behind the front stores on Cerrillos Rd so the noise level of the traffic is well mitigated from any other RV park we have found here in Santa Fe. There is a nice playground for kids and you are in direct proximity to the hike and bike trails that go for miles on end, without the dangers of busy traffic. The park has ice and propane for sale and the staff is happy to assist with FedEx deliveries and mail service. The dog friendly aspect is great for us and we appreciate the wide open space options. This is not a fancy park, but it is as clean as they come and as quiet and friendly as we have found here in the Land of Enchantment. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice Park. Gravel sites. Lots of "sightseeing" literature in lobby. On a main road into Santa Fe downtown and close to restaurants and Walmart! They have a pavilion for large groups and a small playground. That area could have used some weed trimming, but otherwise, a nice stay. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

We have stayed here several times and wanted to leave a review because of the previous posts. The Wi-Fi worked fantastic in our RV. it worked way better than most parks with pages loading very fast. The location is the best in Santa Fe so if you want to be close to town this is the place to be. You have to give this park some slack for being a "in town" park. It is right on Cerrillos Rd. after all!! The location is the best and the owners (or the people that run the park) are fantastic. Very friendly and the most accommodating people to meet your needs.

We stayed here for 2 nights the end of August. The park is handy to downtown and the sites are large. My real problem with the park was that it was expensive and although they advertise Internet Wi-Fi we couldn't get it in our site. When I complained to the office the person told me I had to sit outside? It was close to 95 degrees and naturally sitting outside accomplishes nothing. Another park that advertises and charges for W-F and doesn't provide. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park is the only one available in or near the downtown portion of Santa Fe if you are under the age of 55 or have children. This park is really in poor shape, the restrooms are clean, but old, with little or no shade trees in the park. There is no Wi-Fi available, while yes they have it, connecting and getting it to work once connected is another story. Most websites will time out before they ever load due to the super slow speed of the Wi-Fi. We would not stay here again, one is better off staying outside of Santa Fe and driving into town in lieu of staying here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Misleading description of the campground - Wi-Fi barely available and only after we were moved to another site. Not suitable for overnighting as tow vehicle needs to be unhooked. Very tight turns into sites and much maneuvering needed. Most sites very uneven and need some serious maintenance, we certainly had difficulty leveling. Pretty poor considering the top price for this campground and certainly not top facilities. 50 amp service situated half way along the site, which the owner didn't think to tell us, even though many people visiting also think there is only 30 amp, which is situated at the very back of the site. Supposed cable TV is essentially the same as the aerial service. Very poor, cheap, and does not even have the Weather Channel. Restrooms and showers very old and laundry looks rundown. This campground has only been slightly updated and could do with some more money spending. Plus point is that the campground is in good location for shopping and Santa Fe. We wouldn't use this park again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice enough park and very convenient to the city. Big caution: The sign for the entrance is nearly impossible to see from the busy 4-lane road. Look for a sign that says "Loft" and you are there. Another big caution: When leaving the park, traffic zooms out unseen from your left. Hope that helps you from getting into an accident. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Not quite as nice as the website shows. The sites weren't easy to get into because of cement pillars and utilities. Speaking of utilities, the 30 amp outlet was at one end of the site with the water while the 50 amp was in the middle. The sewer had two drops so was not a problem. The overhead wiring was very low, I was unable to lower my antenna until I moved forward. It was an OK campground but not great. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have stayed here many times over the past few years. We like this park because of its location on Cerrillos Road and the bus stop is nearby to get to the Plaza. Since we had stayed here before we knew the cable TV hook up was at the entrance to our site with the water. The 50amp power is in the center. I have long enough hoses and cables to make everything work. The price has gone up alot. For this price everything should work but the WiFi was spotty at best. We would stay here again due to the location since the other parks are further away from town. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The campground is quiet and set back from Cerrillos Road. We did not hear much road noise at all. All sites are gravel with trees dotted here and there, but not offering much shade. The back in sites offer a bit more width than the pull through sites. However, the water/electric/sewer are located at the very rear of the back in sites. The staff is helpful and friendly. During the week, it is quite empty and starts filling up on Thursday for the weekend. The Santa Fe Trails bus stop is less than a block down Cerrillos. For $1.00 it will take you into the heart of Santa Fe. Wonderful, paved bike trail nearby and very pedestrian friendly area. The above rate reflects a pull through, 50 amp site at the weekly rate.

This park is adequate; however, we thought it was a bit pricey. If we were staying in Santa Fe again we would try the Park just beyond this one on the left - Trailer Ranch RV Park. Although we were right next to the Wi-Fi connection the Wi-Fi did not work. Also they sell propane here. We filled up and had good service; however it was 70 cents a gallon more expensive than other places. 50 Amp electric plug-in is in center of pad and we did not notice that until we had leveled and our electric cord almost didn't reach. Some sites looked like they could be very muddy if it rained. Sites are narrow; but, we found them to be adequate. A plus that it is close to downtown Santa Fe. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Easy to miss, we turned in one driveway too late and drove in the exit. Located behind a small strip mall. Very quiet. Standard parking lot style groupings are nice with picnic tables and concrete slabs. Wireless internet is available but weak signals are the norm in the rear of park and when you get a strong signal, it is very slow; almost non useable. Everyone I talked to had the same problems. Don't count on the WiFi here, it is pitiful. Restrooms OK, nothing special. Owners boogie out at 5 PM on the dot and you are then on your own. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I was at this park on the monthly rate ($550). As usual Wi-Fi is rarely high speed but Verizon has 3G coverage there so you can get broadband with a Verizon USB or card. While I was there they discovered a gas leak and they had to trench the park to install new gas lines. While this was inconvenient, it was beyond their control and the staff was more fantastic in keeping us informed and making the repairs. Before the Gas was turned off, I used the Showers and laundry room (In the shower room ... a little odd) but I can tell you that they were squeaky clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is basically a parking lot behind a plaza on a main city thoroughfare. It is fairly quiet however. The low mark is based on the general appearance of the park, wireless internet unreliability, and the poor arrangement of hookups. On some sites the 50A box is on the curbside of the trailer, and on many sites the sewer port is quite high off the ground resulting a full hose after dumping. There is no host or overnight security person and you have to call a number for after hours help. A plus is easy access to city transportation, and major store proximity.

This park is on a bus route. We met a couple who was using the bus, and they were very pleased with the service. The showers were very small, and I didn't see any handicapped stalls. I would definitely stay there again! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We came here because the park is on the bus line and convenient to the great stores and such on Cerrillos Rd., plus it has the cheapest weekly rate in the area. There is free wifi and cable, and the park is quieter than you would expect for its location. Too bad it's something of a dump. The bathhouse "cleaning" achieves little, and that's also the home of 2 washers and dryers, right in the restrooms- very unusual. Interesting mix of beat up old trailers and motorhomes along the perimeter, and large fancy rigs in the pull-thru sites, which cost more. Large area for dogs in the back, and a small playground. Families around, full-time residents. Next time we'll look at the other parks first. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Even though it is in the city it is nicely insulated from traffic noise. Near shopping centers. Sites are 35 feet wide with picnic tables on concrete pads. A fire grill is included on each site as is trash pickup. Trash could be picked up more often however. Small playground equipment. Paved access roads with gravel sites. The sewer hookup on the pull through sites was at the roadside, making it difficult to stretch the hose to the outlet without the back end of the unit being a bit in the road. The staff is very friendly. The campground is a bit difficult to find with an access road back from the highway, not clearly marked. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We had several problems with this park. The first was because they had no sign on the street. We passed the park and had to find a place to turn around. The park is on a very busy street behind a small shopping center and very hard to find with no sign. Next, the tree on our site needed to be trimmed. I told the manager about it and she told me this was the wrong time of the year to trim trees. We worked 30 minutes trying to get backed in and not hit the air conditioner, vent cover and slide. Also had to try to get as close as possible to the sewer, it was at the very back of the site. The park goes down hill from the street and most sites are not level from side to side. After the park gets your money, they don't care how inconvenienced you are. Streets are paved and there are a lot of speed bumps. Sites are gravel/dirt. Maintenance is minimual. The wifi was free, sometimes it worked okay, other times it was very slow. Location is the best thing this park has going for it. Santa Fe really does need a good RV park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very convenient to the center of Santa Fe. Recommend asking for site in the upper half, either center pull thrus or back-ins to the right. WIFI may work there, it doesn't at the lower end of the park. Also a number of really awful raggedy perm. trailers down in the lower left corner. Friday night was party night for them. A bike was stolen that nite as well. Not ours as they were locked. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the sites in the 90's, even the one recommended above. There is an open road out the back of the park allowing access to anyone. Overall a clean park and improvement/maintenance was in progress while there. I would use it to be close in. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here in August of 2003. We were repeat customers from 2001, and although the other review here from 2001 isn't from us, we would have rated it about the same. What a difference a couple of years makes! Almost all of the full time residents who were all over the park in 2001 (many of who were somewhat scary) are no longer there. The pool is now clean, and the overall place seems much cleaner and well kept. There's a trash can on each site which is very convenient. There's even a DSL connection in the office for fast email downloads. I think this is the most conveniently located RV park in Santa Fe, and fortunately now it's now very pleasant to stay in. We'll be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice clean park with Friendly and helpful owners. We would stay here again. Close to Old Santa Fe. Located right off a main road so you will have some road noise if your put in the front sites. The park roads are gravel as our the sites so you have some dust as people drive past. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Funky, former KOA (or so it would appear) with rather haphazardly laid out roads and sites. Roads are narrow and dirt/gravel. Sites vary in size, width, and proximity to other rigs. Sites are mostly dirt, not too level. Picnic tables are included along with fire pits. Staff was very friendly. Wi-Fi was strong. Satellite worked well also. About ten minutes to Santa Fe. Very quiet. Laundry is expensive per load ($2). No discount on daily/wkly price. Park could use some polishing. We would probably return though. We are camped in a 35' RV and there is room for both our rig and our truck. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed 2 nights. Very tight in some areas, but there are a lot of pull-throughs for larger rigs. Kind of old school camping in the woods. Some spots are very secluded and nice. There are some not too good spots which we ended up in because of Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque. All the parks are full and they all raised the rates. Laundry was pretty clean, but very old equipment. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a great site (#69). It was a pull-through, level site and out of the way. The folks that ran the office were great, they re-assigned us to this site once we told them we were going to stay for a week. Very cool. Beware this is a campground type of RV park: dirt roads and sites. The site was level and easy access. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Most of the past ratings are accurate. You could easily rate the park 5-10 depending on your likes and dislikes. I like it. It is rustic and older but I love being in the trees. I would take dirt/gravel sites with trees over paved parking lots any day. We would certainly stay here again when visiting Santa Fe. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Heavily treed park with tight turns for RV's to get into and around park. Trees are trimmed and if you go slow and carefully you can get a 45 ft motorhome in safely. Sites are long. We had a 32 ft fifth wheel, a 24 foot p/u and still had 15 feet to spare. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Pool is not heated and small. Nice hiking trail around back of park. Would stay again if visiting Santa Fe, although it is a 15-20 minute drive into downtown. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

When we called,we were told that they could accommodate a 40' coach with 4 slides, and that they had 50 amp available. When we got here, after driving 30 miles out of our way, we were told that only 30 amp was available. We decided to stay as we could get by on 30 amp if we didn't use both a/c units. we were given space #28 which required a tight 90 degree turn to the left, a tight 90 degree turn to the right then a tight 120 degree turn back to the left. The culvert on the 120 degree turn had been collapsed for some time and caused the motorhome to tilt drastically left bringing the motorhome into contact with a large rock resulting in several deep scratches in the paint. Our tow car went through the same collapsed area causing the muffler to be knocked loose. We got to the space assigned to us and found that the trees on each side had not been trimmed in some time and we had to limit how much we put the slides out to avoid damage to the slides. Rather than cause a fuss, we dealt with all these problems as we were tired and needed sleep. The next morning as we were leaving, the trees on the right side of our rig had limbs sticking out too far and caused two (2) scratches on the right side of the motorhome. I was too upset to try talking to anyone here, so we left and vowed never to go back! I do have pictures to substantiate my claims, a photo of the collapsed culvert and photos of the damage to the motorhome and a receipt for repair to our tow vehicle. Maybe I'm being too severe, but they said they could accommodate a 40' rig when we called! If you want to see the photos I can e-mail them to you. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Finally the Wi-Fi is back up and running in my area of the park so I can do this rating. About this park, in a word, "rough." I depended on TLD's ratings to go to this park and I think I got hosed. Lots of weeds (maybe they call it "rustic".) We got put into a space overlooking their "broken stuff" storage area. Staff is very friendly. Water pressure barely adequate. Roads are not that great during a rainstorm. Lots of mud and puddle holes, also in the sites. I was kind of disappointed. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate is Good Sam pull through rate. Yes, the roads are narrow and sites are tight, but if you call ahead and give them the size of your rig, they will tell you if they can accommodate. They do have several sites big enough for big rigs. I have 40ft and had no problem, but you have to go very slow. Very close to downtown and reasonable price for the area. Friendly staff, attractive campground. Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Don't go here if you have an RV over 30 ft. The pull-throughs (and back-ins) are very cramped and there is no room to move around your space if your slides are out, and there are a lot of low hanging trees. BUT if you are tenting, or have a small coach/trailer this is a beautiful place. Very nice swimming pool, old trees, nice and quiet and about 10 minutes downtown Santa Fe. Staff is nice but they have to refuse reservations for big rigs. Wi-Fi was great and fast at our spot. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I gave it a mediocre because of the tight fits between trees as well as the corners. Many of the trees are very low and too close to the roads, especially on corners. They need trimming very badly. Also the roads are in dire need of maintenance. My opinions are indicative of a large motorhome (ours is a 40-ft) but in watching some larger 5th wheels they were also having problems.

This was an old KOA campground that hasn’t been updated; the sites are tight and very dusty. Our site bordered Old Las Vegas Hwy. and at night it sounded like the trucks were driving through our motorhome. During a heavy rain we literally had a runoff that left over 2 inches of mud on our patio mat. That being said, of the parks around the area this seemed to be the best. Staff was friendly which helped. Also this park is conveniently located to the surrounding area. We stayed 4 nights. We would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a great park! Nicely landscaped. We were only passing through, but decided to stay a second night. The trees were wonderful and the hiking trail was really nice. They have a small dog run, which was good. Everything was very clean and well cared for. The laundry facilities were also very nice. They have a small theater on site, which was fun to go to in the evenings. They also have an outdoor area to wash dishes, if you need that. The store was stocked with essential items and souvenirs.

We stayed here one night and enjoyed our stay. Wi-Fi worked great, had 13M upload & 2M download, so not sure what more one could ask for in regards to Wi-Fi internet. Kids road bikes throughout the park, swam in the pool, and watched a movie in the theater. The park does have all dirt roads and sites without a lot of trees, but this seems to be the norm in the Santa Fe area. My oldest son said the showers were the best he has ever used. Not sure I would go that far, but they were certainly nice and clean. The only real negative that comes to mind is the interior roads seem very tight, we managed fine, but if you have a large rig, you may have to do some jockeying. We would certainly stay here again.

Even if you have an empty gas tank and are dead tired, find a way to keep moving! We checked into this park, needing full hookups after several days of boondocking. Yes, our Airstream is petite, but why place customers in the smallest possible site when roomier sites are available? Placed in the back of the park along with large piles of dirt, rocks and broken glass outside our door it felt like a developing country. Park excuse: new septic. Also, Wi-Fi was slow/nil. Difficult as a writer with deadlines to meet. There is another park in town, much more accommodating. Seek and you will find! In park's defense they offered to change our site: too little, too late. Keep on moving! Checked out early and left $$ on the table. Clerk pointed out the "No Refunds" policy on the board. Such hospitality!? We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We spent a couple nights here as part of trip out west. We had a private site near the back of the campground that accommodated our 36 ft 5th wheel. All the sites are basically dirt with some stones. There are a few small trees but none that offer shade- it is a very natural campground, typical of the Santa Fe area. We had full hook-ups, though the water pressure was rather low. The cable signal was very strong, although the channel selection was rather odd and limited. The Wi-Fi signal worked well around the office, playground and pool but did not at our site. The amenities included a pool, playground, small theater that showed a nightly movie, enclosed small dog walk and hiking trail (we did not try the trail). We did use the laundry room which was completely functional. There is a small gift/souvenir shop as part of the main office with minimal grocery and RV supply items. The campground provided a nice, detailed map of Santa Fe with restaurant suggestions. Overall, we found the dirt roads and dust a negative (which may be the case at all area campgrounds) but would stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park has many pros: scenic, with hills and trees; sparkling pool; nightly movies in the theater; well-stocked store; clean restrooms; recycling program; and friendly owners. However, the one downside which overshadowed our visit was the septic/sewer smell at our site (#109). We were there 3 days/2 nights, and the smell was constant and bad enough that we didn't want to sit outside in the evenings. We didn't notice it in the other parts of the campground we frequented, so it may be localized to one area. Still, we would stay here again - but ask for a different site and go smell it first.

It is only 15minutes from old Santa Fe. There are very friendly and helpful staff. The internet did not work the first night, but it has been working ever since. Dirt roads and sites, checkout your site before driving there, you may want to move. Some sites are very narrow and not good for slideouts. It is pet friendly with a very small pet area. The pool is being filled now, so it should be ready soon (it's too cold anyways). The only negative is the amount of dirt everywhere. I wish at least the roads had gravel.

When we arrived, we were surprised at how narrow the entry way is to a campground that is supposed to accommodate big rigs. Then we noticed all the roads are dirt - no gravel whatsoever. It was very tight getting backed into our site. After considering all the reviews for Santa Fe, I felt this would be our best choice - but it's very dusty and maneuvering around is tight. It's also a ways to town - at least 10 miles. The wifi is very strong, it's not overly noisy from the nearby highway, but I could hear it. The site is fairly level, hook-ups easy.

This park is approximately 10 miles from Santa Fe and was convenient for visiting Bandeliers National Monument and the Santa Fe museums. Park has nice wooded area that helps keep the heat down. Rate was nightly with KOA discount. Utilities were good although the sewer connection was partially broken. Not many channels available with cable TV. Our site was level but others were not so you may want to drive around and check the sites first. Laundry room was okay. Fenced dog area was tiny but my dog was happy walking around the park. Pool had no water when we visited in May. Overall this park is a 7-8 star rating but with a little TLC (park looks like it needs maintenance) it could be a 10 star.

We've stayed at several of the Santa Fe campgrounds, and this is the nicest so far. It's quiet, and wooded, and even has a hiking trail. This is the former Santa Fe KOA complete with the store and cabins. KOA discount is still offered, in addition to Good Sam etc. It resembles a campground with the dirt lanes, many trees, and each site having it's own personality. The park was very clean, and had nice rest rooms and showers. Internet reception was good on the park's system. Not all sites have cable, but with 23 over-the-air channels it wasn't necessary. During the summer there are nightly movie presentation consisting of a local travel film, and movie. The staff was helpful, and very willing to answer travel questions. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The staff was friendly when I made my reservation on the telephone, as well as when we arrived in person. She was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us directions to our in town destinations. We got to pick out our site. There are plenty of trees in-between sites, pinon pines and junipers. It was cozy, nothing like those "parking-lot" campgrounds. The time we stayed here (early Sept) it wasn't crowded. There is a little hiking trail around the top of the campground, that was pretty. I did not use the bathroom or any other facilities, so I can not comment on those. The only cons, and they weren't too bad were noise. The first night while we were eating and getting ready to sleep there was music coming from somewhere (workers area?). We could hear a consistent thump thump thump. The second night there was some loud laughing and yelling, probably someone had too much, that as about 1:30am. If we are in the area again, we will most likely stay here again.

We've camped here several times and found that it is the most enjoyable of all campgrounds in the area. Over the years we have noticed that the routine maintenance and upkeep has not been optimal. We enjoy the trail around the park and Santa Fe, in general. While here, the CATV provider changed it's digital input signal cutting out many channels.

Very nice park, but tight sites for big rigs. We had to back out of our pull-thru site. They do help you get in. Also, not much room for your tow vehicle or toad in the area we were in. Lovely pool - very clean. Good laundry facilities. Movies every night in the theater. Nice hiking trail up the hill behind the campground. Beautiful views from the park. Poor Wi-Fi in our section of the park. Most days, I had to take the laptop to the laundry or the camp office in order to get logged in. Camp personnel didn't seem to be overly concerned with the problem.. Road noise wasn't bad at all. Warning: if you're getting on I-25 North, turn right out of the park and go back to exit 290 to get on. Don't turn left and take the next north exit as you have to go under a low underpass under I-25 before getting on the highway and we barely made it with our tall fifth wheel.

Campground is so-so. The showers and baths were OK, not great, not awful. The first night we had a horrible site that was literally about 4 feet away from our neighbor's RV door with no bushes/trees, etc. We requested a different site for the next two nights and it was much better (site #27). The office staff were very helpful in changing us. They need more baths/showers for such a big campground. Go to the showers early if you don't want to wait. It is a bit of trek into town (15 minutes) but I guess that gives you a little bit more quiet and landscaping. GREAT Wi-Fi signal! I wish the road were paved. I do think for Santa Fe this is the best choice though. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very tight spots, hard to back into due to poles and plant fixtures, dirt spots and extremely dusty - constantly cleaning off the dust in the coach. Very narrow roads to maneuver through the park, office personnel very nice and nice enough camp store with the usual high prices. Would not recommend to others with big rigs nor would we stay here again. Didn't use cable and used our own Wi-Fi connectivity so cannot comment on those features if even available.

We loved the campgrounds. The pool was wonderful and the staff were extra friendly. Sometimes we had to wait for an available shower, but it wasn't a horrible wait. The only complaint I really had was the dusty roads. Walking to and from the bathroom would get the shoes extra dirty but, I would keep the dust to keep the beautiful grounds. Not being from NM, we really felt like we were experiencing the flora, fauna (rabbits) and surroundings. We definitely recommend this place! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very disappointed in our pull through site. Have a 32 foot motorhome with a slide on each side, and because of the untrimmed bushes and unusable picnic table smushed into the bushes, could not walk around to reach our car. Had to whack our way through weeds to get to the water, sewer, and electric hookups. Office staff friendly, but the sites were terrible. Have been traveling for two months so far, and this is the first time we've been very disappointed. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I stayed here for 6 nights. Staff was very friendly, even though 1 lady at check in, was a bit stuffy, but she improved over time. They won't give refunds if you decide to move on earlier than planned. I lost 2 days worth of fee's, because I left earlier than planned as I had done everything in the area that I wanted to do. Had minor rains a couple of times, but the staff was quick to "rough up" the dirt roads after the rain, so they didn't become muddy or packed. Very attentive staff as far as coming around frequently to make sure everyone was in compliance. Has a nice reasonably priced, gift shop with basic groceries, shirts, tourist stuff. Clean and well kept place. 7 or 8 miles south of downtown Santa Fe, but close to all the major roads and highways. I'd stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This wouldn't be a bad park except the roads and sites are mostly dirt with just a smattering of gravel. This gives the place a low-rent feel, and if it's windy or rainy, it's a mess. Convenient to I-25 but not noisy, about a 20 minute drive from downtown Santa Fe. Many of the sites are not level and can also be a bit tight. Nice walking trail up into the hills above the campground, good place to walk the dog. Cable signal is quite good, including some HD local channels. We were fairly near the office and couldn't get wi-fi. Verizon wireless broadband was marginal. Loved Santa Fe, but will stay elsewhere on our next visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The positives for this park are it's easy access to Santa Fe and the clean bathroom. The negatives: this was the dustiest, dirtiest park I have ever stayed in. It was a bit windy and the entire interior of my unit was covered in dirt. The roads and sites are all dirt, a few loads of rock would help a lot! The sites are small and very close together. The WiFi worked intermittently. The sewer connection was uphill, making it difficult to dump. I had committed to four nights and wish I had left after one. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice park with a friendly staff. You feel like you are "camping out" since you are in the juniper trees that populate the area, though you are not very far from Santa Fe. Though it is close to I-25, we did not hear road noise. We were led to our site, which was a good thing, since it was impossible to get into it due to position of trees and shrubbery. We were quickly assigned another less shaded site. I cannot speak to other alternative parks in the area, but this was a good place to stay a few days and explore Santa Fe and the surrounding area. The staff was friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here on a road trip from Tucson to Denver one night. Note: Tom Tom has no idea where this park is --do not follow the directions on this GPS. Friends had Garmin and were able to find the park easily. What a pleasant place to spend the night on the road. It was close to I-25 and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Grocery store is three miles away and has everything you could need. Very nice setting on a hill. We were latecomers with no reservations so we had to stay near the road --there was some road noise. I would love to return to spend a few days here. The wooded setting makes the sites more private than most in New Mexico and the cool breeze is nice. Wi-Fi came in like a flame thrower (but we were near the office, so I can’t swear it was that way throughout the park). Our friends’ kids said that the playground was nice.

Nice campground. Easy access in a 30' motorhome to any of the pull through sites. You will have to level the coach, though. Any longer than 30' and you will want to verify with campground staff that you'll fit in the wooded pull through sites - some will only fit a 30', and some will take longer rigs. They also have non-wooded sites that any big rig will fit in just fine. Lots of amenities, and of course it's right next to Santa Fe so there's no shortage of things to do and see during your stay. Be sure to buy your firewood from the park office - they sell piñon wood and the smell is fantastic. Bring your own tinder and lighter, though, because for some reason they don't sell fire accessories. The park has its own little nature trail, and the Sandia, Sangre de Cristo, and Jemez mountain ranges are close by for hiking at-altitude. Staff was very friendly, the dumpsite was clean, and dogs are welcomed here. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

They have many advertising billboards indicating they have cable TV, but after we had already paid for a water and electric site, we found out that cable was only available if you paid for a full hook up site. It would have been nice if we had been told that up front. Sites are a little small and close together. We felt the rates were a little pricey, but we were just outside Santa Fe which is a pretty pricey place in general!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

On the positive side this RV park is in close proximity to Santa Fe. However, the reservation and check in process left a lot to be desired. When making the reservation on the phone the employee kept interrupting me throughout the process. At that time we had requested and received a particular shaded, pull through site because we were traveling with 2 dogs and were staying for a week. Upon arrival the site had been changed to an undesirable area. They had reassigned us to an area with tent groups which had no trees, was crowded and was also a back in site. We got the owner of the campground involved and were able to get our original shaded site. This employee was still contradictory of what had transpired even in front of the owner. We live in a nearby town so we like to come to Santa Fe to explore and have stayed at this campground several times. Having encountered this attitude we will no longer give this campground our business. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have stayed here before, but in an smaller RV. This time we had a pull through site for a 35 foot RV. The sites are so narrow that with the slides out there was barely room for a chair. The trees do not provide shade. The pool was too cold to swim, although it was quite warm. The people in the office are very nice and helpful. I even asked about a certain plant they had, and they went out of their way to find out what it was for me. It's a shame, but next visit to Santa Fe, I think I will stay down the street where the sites are much larger. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There are very cramped camp sites with no room to even walk around your trailer. We have a 35' trailer and was not able to fit in the first site they put us in. After several tries we were able to find a site that would fit us barely. We tried to get a refund since we didn't fit in a site and they were very unwilling to do so. The staff was friendly but could care less about the people & problems. I was not impressed by the campground at all. We will not be staying there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Had reservations for water/electric site, could not get level - looked for another, nothing available that was anything resembling level. Had to upgrade to full hook up site at a substantial price increase to get level. Also they advertise cable TV in Trailer Life guide and on their road side sign - this is only available at full hook up sites. Road noise is an issue.

We had business in Santa Fe that required a two month stay. There are not a lot of options in Santa Fe. We choose this campground, although it is 8 miles out of town, because it was a little higher elevation and surrounded by pinion pines. Our other option was an RV park on a very busy street right in town. We have a dog and the other RV park in town has very limited options for walking a dog. Rancheros de Santa Fe has a 1 mile, nicely maintained, walking trail that loops the campground. They are very dog friendly. Our dog was welcomed in their store/office every day for a dog treat. The campground sites could use a little TLC. It is pretty much dirt and some gravel. We had to put down lots of mats to keep the campsite clean. The campground was relatively quiet. There are services, including a nice market about 3 miles away. There are also a couple spectacular restaurants nearby (Bobcat Bite and Harry's roadhouse). Additionally, the staff were great about accommodating mail delivery and UPS packages. This is huge for those that travel full time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you're in a small or medium sized rig and don't mind dirt roads, dirt sites and road noise this campground is okay but significantly over priced. It is located in the pinon forest and the dirt road to the camp sites is very tight maneuvering. We're in a 45ft diesel pusher with a dingy and more than one of the turns required more than one attempt to make it. The camp spaces designated for big rigs are too short to keep the dingy attached and no space to park it once off. They are so close together there is barely room for the picnic table and do not have trees. The campground is on Old Las Vegas Hwy and the "big rig" spaces are within 50yds of this busy road. Other sites back in the trees may be quieter. Free WiFi. Small fenced "dog run" area with shade tree in it. Nice little children's playground. The people that work here are very nice.

First of all, be aware that Santa Fe is at 7200 feet above sea level. This park is located approximately 7 miles from town and therefore a quiet spot to stay. It was an easy drive to get into town however. Even though we parked here mid-April, we arrived to snow on the ground. This melted, but the day we left, it was snowing again. The whole park is a red dirt/gravel mix which tracked into the motorhome on a regular basis! Cable TV and WiFi were excellent. The WiFi signal was one of the strongest we've encountered from our site #92. The laundry facility was tight, but clean. Washers were $2.00 which we thought was expensive, but the dryers were $1.00 for 45 minutes. We paid for 6 nights which cost us $171.58 and reflected a Good Sam discount. After checking some of the other campgrounds in the area, this one was one of the best and reasonably priced in comparison. On the whole, we found Santa Fe to be an expensive area, but if traveling this way again, we would stay in this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Well I must agree that Rancheros has a campground atmosphere and is not a typical big rig paved parking lot. Most sites are shaded and separated from your neighbors by small trees. There is a nice walking trail and the place is always clean and quiet. If you ask for help, the staff will direct you to the most level position on your site. I like being far enough out of town to feel like I’m camping in the high, cool and dry NM hills. GPS: 35deg 32.737' N; 105deg 51.889' W We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Be sure of what you're getting into before you give up your credit card number! In 4 years of motorhome travel, we have never left a campground before the time we had paid for--but tried to leave this one. Unfortunately, the policy (not explained on the telephone when I reserved 2 hours before arrival) is to give no refunds past 11 am the day PRIOR to the reservation. No flexibility, even though we were placed on a 30 amp, unlevel site when I had requested 50 amp. I will say they offered another site, but we couldn't get the motorhome in it due to trees and a telephone limiting turn radius. Once we got back on the 30 amp site, we discovered how impossible it was to level. Yet a third site was offered, but by that time we didn't want to keep jockeying the motorhome around. The manager was courteous but displayed no sympathy to our distress. This campground should be great for tent camping under the stars! And the work campers were extraordinarily pleasant and kind.

Despite the webpage, wi-fi is not available throughout the camping area. In order to receive usable wi-fi, you must sit at the building across from the office. The staff is not overly friendly, and, at times, rude. Over the telephone, one staff member twice gave me a lecture on not keeping my dog in a cabin unattended before she even confirmed whether there was a cabin available for me. When you enter the office, the staff does not necessarily greet you in a friendly manner. While the cabins and restrooms are relatively clean, they are not overly clean. I actually cleaned my cabin before placing my belongings inside. This campground charges for a cup of coffee, something I am used to getting for free at all other campgrounds. When I was there, the pool was not usable. As is evident, my stay there was a little bit of a disappointment. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

This campground would be ok for small units and tents. We have a 37' 5th wheel and a long bed tow truck and since this was an overnight stop only we asked for a pull through at $5 extra. Since no one escorted you to your site I had to get out twice to ensure we were going to clear the trees on the narrow roads and the sharp turns. The rig next to us was parked several feet too far forward so we and several others had to back out of the pull through. Will not stay there again. Bath house is older but clean.

My rating reflects use by a couple with a 40 ft diesel Motorhome. We asked for a site suitable for a 40ft Motorhome and were assigned to a "pull through" with 50amp power/water /sewer. The road to this site was narrow and included a sharp 180 turn that required a three point turn. Luckily I had unhooked the Jeep, but the next couple did not unhook and had fight to unhook on the turn. Also I would not call it a pull through for a large rig. I saw one fifth manage to pull through, but they had nobody in the site next to them. Everybody else, including myself, had to back out. There just isn't enough room to make it a pull though. On the plus side the WIFI was very good. Signal showed weak, but it maintained a good connection at all times. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Pleasant smell with small juniper trees throughout. Unfortunately, very uneven sites and on this I wish we had heeded some previous reviews. The "pool" is very small and the "movie" theatre is just a small TV set up in front of a few chairs. Staff nice at first but not responsive about poor restroom condition.

We enjoyed this campground because it does not have a "parking lot" feel. We have camped in town on Cerrillos Road before, but we preferred the quiet, wooded setting here, and found that the distance to Old Town Santa Fe was about the same. Also closer to fishing on the Pecos River and Pecos National Monument. Staff friendly and helpful. Bathrooms and showers very clean. Free Wi-fi reception was good at our site, but heavily wooded sites towards rear might not get as strong a signal. Site was level and 50 amp service adequate. Hiking trail(about 1 mile long) on property a plus. Grocery store and shopping mall 2 miles away. Several good restaurants within a few miles of campground. The campground is located on a service road that is set back about 1/4 from I-25, so highway noise was not a problem for us. This is one of the more scenic parks we have camped in and will return.

Wish we had paid more attention to previous reviewer here who warned that more scenic, water & electric only sites beyond the front of the park were narrow and a bit hard to get to. Many, many of the non-full hook-up sites are ridiculously unlevel as well as fairly close to neighbors. Not sure why they would assign someone to the space right next to us when the park had dozens and dozens of open sites. Inexperienced office staff gave us directions to pull into our site from the wrong direction and we took some scratches on the low trees; we could not get close to level and requested a new site but still had to block three wheels. Bathrooms and showers were clean and well-kept. Liked the view from our site and the smell of the pine trees; loved the free WI-FI and the location just outside of Santa Fe. Really wanted to like this place more but next time I would try the KOA just up the street. Similar scenic views, and trees but much better spaced, more level sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed here 4 times now over the past 2 years,
it just keeps getting better. The staff is always very helpful and friendly, the facilities are clean and well maintained. The owners seem to be updating and redoing the grounds and sites as needed to accommodate bigger rigs and units. There are many wonderful sites among the Pinion Pines and most of the park is well shaded. The park is pet friendly and even has a Doggie Corral play area. During summer months they show a movie each night for the guests (free) and on Sunday mornings they offer a pancake breakfast that is both outstanding and very reasonable. Despite another posting about the area, there are several excellent restaurants, shops, a grocery store and two gas stations that are all very close to the park. All in all this is one nice RV Park, that we enjoy returning to. We camped here in a Motorhome.

One of the few parks that is more "campground" than RV park. Call ahead if you have a large
rig, as few sites can accommodate them. Swimming pool is small, and sites are really too close together. Bathrooms/showers not as clean as most I've been to, but not really dirty. Wi-Fi was owner-installed without a real knowledge of site-wide wifi coverage, and this results in poor or no signal at the edges of the park; if Wi-Fi is important, try to get a site near the office. They have a small theater in which they show movies to all that wish to attend. Scenic park, but expensive: charges for children unjustified. With the Wi-Fi problems and excessive charges I will not return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Overall, this is a nice campground. Staff was friendly and helpful and the facilities were clean. The sites are close together and the roads are narrow so unless you want to park right up front, big rigs might have trouble getting into the more scenic spots. Tenters note: this is one of the few CGs in Santa Fe that allows tents, so if you want to be near the city, this is the place. There are also several good looking cabins available, although management doesn't allow pets in the cabins. Don't look for any restaurants or service stations nearby because there aren't any within ten miles. Ads say there is no city noise but there is definitely road noise because this campground runs parallel to I-25. New Mexico has been going through a severe drought the last several years and when I camped here there was a lot of restoration of trees and vegetation going on. All in all, this is a good overnight or base camp if you're going to be spending a lot of time in Santa Fe. We camped here in a Tent.

When we go to Sante Fe, this is where we stay. Conveniently located, clean and nice people. The sites are a little close; however, we are usually gone during the day. The pinion trees smell wonderful. Movies and pancake breakfast at a good price really makes the stay enjoyable.On our last stay, a camper in a cabin pulled out his guitar and sang us to sleep!

Located about 15 miles from Santa Fe along Hwy 285/84, this is a no frills park with full hook up. Sites are gravel, no trees, no grass but plenty of goat heads. We found it hard to walk our dog. We were unable to pick up any of the major Santa Fe television channels and Wi-Fi was sporadic at best. Our AT&T phones and air card did not work here. There were no restrooms or showers at this park. On the positive side, there are several casino's in the area and the young man who checked us in was friendly and efficient. Good enough for a one night stay, which we would do again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

First off this campground is NOT in Santa Fe, it is on the Pueblo of Pojoaque. It is about 20 miles north of Santa Fe off of Highway 84. It is just very basic, no frills. For the location this is not a bad price. Closer to Santa Fe there are more frills but the prices are higher. This is a good location so that it is a nice drive into Taos or Santa Fe to see the sights. Also there is an excellent casino just a half mile away called Buffalo Thunder. Great buffet dinner, $10.95 Prime Rib dinner and beautiful architecture and decorations. Also the Poeh Center, across the road from the RV park is a showcase for Indian art and culture. We stayed here for a week and enjoyed our stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

No restrooms, no Wi-Fi (in spite of what they say), near the highway, no shade, no cable TV, no paving. Why on earth would you want to stay here? The saving grace is that they have big rig sites which you can get into without scraping on landscape rocks or tree limbs. Contrary to the city address on this site, the park is located in Pojoaque which is miles north of Santa Fe. Park seems to have lots of long term residents who must be working in the area. For the features offered, this is the most over-priced RV park in recent memory. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you are looking for features, don't go here. The prior reviews were correct, that it is mainly a big lot beside the freeway. There are no showers, restrooms, clubhouse, picnic tables. There is not a single tree or plant. If you are interested in casinos, it is in a good location, near all the casinos. Many of the park residents work at the casino, which owns the park. My main complaint was the noise. We have camped at over 100 parks, (and many rest areas as well) and never been anywhere as noisy! It's on a freeway next to a large gas station, and has 24 hour truck noise, engine brakes etc. Even in a fairly soundproof RV we had to talk up to talk over the noise. In several days I didn't see anyone sitting outside: more than likely due to the noise. The internet is terrible. If you want internet, camp close to the front of the park. You can only receive internet about halfway down the park, although management will allow change of spaces if it is a problem. It is so slow it often takes over 2 minutes to load a page that normally loads in a second. One resident advised me to use the internet after midnight or before 7am as it was only designed for 12 users, and the slowness is due to the system being inadequate for all the users. It worked. Positive points are that all the sites are pull through, and a Good Sam discount is given. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park was very nice and very clean and very friendly! Far from being a "parking lot," the spaces were very spacious and the views are beautiful. Gorgeous sunsets and beautiful snow-capped mountains surround the area. The casinos and area attractions were very close, the restaurants were very, very nice and there are so many things to do. We recommend this park to everyone we know and don't know. When we were here, we were greeted by the park hosts. They went above and beyond the call of duty to make our stay feel as though we were at home. We will continue to travel to Santa Fe every chance we get! We will always return to this wonderful park! So, fellow travelers... make it your park when down in that region. Stay awhile and let the owners make you feel like you've come home too! We had a blast at the Buffalo Thunder Casino and even won some money: so much fun! We will be back next spring: you can bet on that! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is 15 miles north of Santa Fe, adjacent to Rte 285. It is essentially one big parking lot with 4 or 5 rows of sites. There are no trees and for us it was a one night stop. Probably would not camp here again; If we wanted to camp in a parking lot, we would have gone to Wal-Mart, for free. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We only stayed here because Santa Fe RV parks jack up their prices for the Albuquerque Balloon Festival. One park quoted us $290/week! We see no reason for this and probably won't return to Santa Fe because of this. This park in ugly. It's just a gravel parking lot. It has no restrooms. It is next to the highway and very noisy. The park is across the highway from the casino. It is about 1/4 mi. south of the overpass of Hwy 502. It is next to the Phillips 66 station. We got a $22.50 rate for Good Sam. This park is 13 miles north of Santa Fe. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A less expensive alternative to the established, private RV parks in the area. This park, recently completed by a local Native American tribe (in conjunction with an infusion of cash for the upgrading and expanding of their casino), is a crushed rock/railroad tie parking area, opposite the Cities of Gold casino, about 10 miles North of the Santa Fe Plaza. No trees, shrubs, cement, grass, but it is right next door to a Phillips 66 Station (which they also own). You don't have to gamble if you stay, but, I'm sure it would be a more pleasant experience, as it is quite barren. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We moved to this location after reading about it. You get what you pay for. We got full hookups close to the center of town. It was no frills, but the price was right. The location was quiet and secure. There are enough channels to get some decent television with your antenna. The only complaint was the need for a long sewer hose. Luckily I had that. Other than that, this place was great for the price. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

The campground is right next to the arena which was fine. There was an issue of what to do with our trash. The manager expected us to walk around the arena near a residence (trailer) on the other side of the arena. When I called the owner, he made the manager place a trash barrel near us. Other than that, it was fine. The campground is very basic but adequate. We stayed here with other RVers for a Habitat for Humanity build and got a $5 break on the nightly fee so it only cost us $15/night. A bonus for us was the barrel racing that happened every Wednesday night. Horse trailers pulled up and we were treated to a couple of hours of friendly club competition. The location is good and on the outskirts of town but still close to everything. We probably would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great place to park if you want an inexpensive, safe place close to the sites. No frills, no bathrooms or any other amenities - just the basics. Be sure to call first since the entrance is different than what is listed on the website. Manager will give you the code to get in. If you don't like the smell of a farm or dirt surroundings, don't stay here. The RVs are backed up to the cattle pen-there were only a few steers and 2 horses, but they do smell when the wind is blowing towards the RV sites. Bring cash. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

If you're wondering why I gave this a 10, after reading the other reviews, that's because this place is an absolute BARGAIN for anyone who wants to visit beautiful Santa Fe and doesn't want to pay the outrageous prices that the nearby full service RV parks charge. This is our 3rd time here and we've never paid less than $35 a night. Many thanks to the first RVer here who wrote about it. Yes, the fairgrounds are basic and nothing more than a gravel parking lot against some bleachers. But the spots are spaced apart fairly wide, they can fit any sized rig, and there's full hookups for TWENTY BUCKS a night! The RV area is tucked away from the street so it's relatively quiet. And, you're in the heart of Santa Fe without having to pay a huge price. Bring exact change, cash only, and be sure to call ahead to warn them you're coming. The gate is locked and you must be let in when you arrive. You can get to it from either Cerrillos Rd. or St. Francis off I-25. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Not a place to go if you want a scenic view. Very functional, with water sewer and electric. Easy to maneuver, no bright lights, secure with a security gate. Good place to set as home base to go to the plaza and other points. Shopping malls and stores are close by. We spent 4 nights here. Rodeo hosts will help you with places to go to as they are long time residents. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped here with 3 other Care-A-Vanners with Habitat for Humanity for a build in Santa Fe. The sites at the Rodeo grounds are very basic. We were parked backing up to the bleachers. It was fine but if you are looking for something nice this is not it. If you are looking for value this is good. In Santa Fe this location is a good value. $15 per night is hard to find anywhere else. You may need an extra 15 feet of water hose and two sewer hoses depending on where your site it. I would camp here again. It is more secure than a Wall-Mart parking lot and has a locking gate which are a plus. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Also, very close to great restaurants, and easy access to I-25 and Santa Fe Plaza area. Cleanest bathrooms I have seen in any KOA. All amenities work. Don't miss this one if going to Santa Fe.

When we checked in we were assigned site F-6. This is not a good site as tree limbs were hitting our motor home and there was not enough room to extend our awning. This site is way out of level. The staff did move us to a roomier and more level site. The staffer in the office guided us to downtown Santa Fe. FYI, there is an RV parking lot on Alameda Street: see map provided by campground. We would stay here again only if we were given a decent site. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Price we paid reflects the weekly rate with the KOA member discount. Like many RV parks, one's experience here depends highly on which site you're in. We were in a site with little shade, and the fifth wheel next to us was so close I could have leaned our the window and touched it. However, there are some excellent sites here, that are roomy, shady, and separated from the neighbors by heavy vegetation; it just happened that none of those were available on our dates. Unlike a prior reviewer, we had no problems connecting to and using Wi-Fi, and our cell phones worked fine. Also, there are at least three excellent restaurants much closer than 15 miles: Bobcat Bite (best green chile cheeseburger I've ever had) is about 7 miles away; Cafe Fina is about 4 miles away; and La Plancha in Eldorado is about 3 miles away. Park is well run and well managed. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground has potential, but at $50/night we're paying for what is here now. Nice park but apparently a new owner and he's getting his feet. Very difficult to get internet and cell phone connection. They even have a "connection hotspot" posted at the office and admit it's something they can't get to work right now. Some of the workers are VERY nice and few: hmmmm. Gigantic pool is sitting unavailable. Way to far from what you would probably be coming to Santa Fe for. 15 miles into town, restaurants, anything. We were frustrated trying to get our internet/phone connections, so would probably choose to stay somewhere else. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Cost reflects KOA discount card. Stayed at the park several nights. Decent separation between sites using pinyon pines and juniper. New gravel had been added to some sites and parts of roads. Staff was helpful and guided us to our site. This is in a arid area of NM, so there wasn't much grass and a little dust. Easy access to I-20, but we really didn't notice the road noise. They also have an extra parking space beside the sites for tow or towed vehicles if you rig is too long. We would definitely stay here again while in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice park, good service from staff. Clean restrooms and showers. Sites were not huge, but well laid out for maximum privacy, lined with piñon trees. Close to the highway, so some noise. I had been hoping to see mountains from the site, but did not, so I was a little disappointed - but the problem was more my expectation. Nice BBQ corner set up for guests. Easy 20 minute drive to the plaza, with some good restaurants on the way in (we enjoyed Harry's Roadhouse). Wi-Fi did not work very well. Overall, we liked it. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

We spent 2 nights in Santa Fe and are not picky people. This was also the first time we had stayed at a KOA. In our opinion, this campground is way over priced for what it is ($51.00 per night). We requested and did receive a pull through, however it is nearly on top of your neighbor. There was no place outside our RV to sit because you needed a place to park your vehicle. If you are going for an extended stay, this is not the campground you want. I still cannot believe the price they charge. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent campground! Typical KOA pricing, but worth it. Staff was unbelievable! Friendly, helpful, accommodating, downright nice people. They were nearly full and so we were put in a site that we were a little wide for and they did not hesitate to cut off a branch for our slide out. Wow! Everything was very clean and groomed. Bathrooms looked wonderful and very clean. The only reason I won't give it a 10 is because they need new playground equipment. The camp down the road has brand new equipment and it was a bit tempting to go there because of the kids. But we had an WONDERFUL experience and would definitely recommend and stay again!

Wi-Fi also excellent considering the rural location. No reliable Verizon signal, but that's not the fault of the campground.

RV park is not in Santa Fe, it is more than 10 miles east of I-25 Santa Fe exit, which itself is several miles from center of town. RV park is on I-25 frontage road, so there is continuous freeway noise. Nice setting in the hills, with lots of shrubs and trees separating sites. But the sites are still close together. Many sites are not especially level. Apparently, many sites (including mine) do not have sewer hookup, must use park's dump station, yet this is not reflected in a site's nightly rate. KOA reservation system is a problem because it implies all sites are equivalent, just specify RV length, yet we ended up with a non-sewer site. When we learned of this and wanted to move, park staff said no other sites available. When we then wanted to cancel, park staff blamed us for "choosing" the non-sewer site, even wanted us to pay a $10 cancellation fee, yet lack of sewer was not disclosed when we made reservation. Either KOA lacks full information about this park's sites, or park management doesn't know how KOA reservation system actually works. A big negative, either way. Because we learned of the "no sewer" situation just the night before we arrived, we ended up at this park anyway, and practiced our partial "dry camping" skills, annoying when site rate is $37.50/night. (New Mexico state parks that also lack sewer hookup are a tiny fraction of this price.) TV cable had very poor picture on most channels (and not many of those). Park probably needs more cable amplifiers. Wi-Fi worked OK but got very slow in evening when everyone uses it. Our Sprint data aircards would NOT work at this location, though our Sprint phones worked. Pet area is nice, but it and west end of RV park are stinky due to adjacent park sewer system. Beware of possibly smelly campsites. Park's "4" rating is because of site hookup limitations, lack of info about this, and bad customer service. There's another large park a mile west on same road, that I would consider next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is a very nice KOA park. It has a nice store too. The men's bathroom needs some paint as there is pealing paint in there. However, the shower is very nice and roomy with tile. There is plenty of space for stuff when showering too. Parking areas are all very close to level and have been frequently raked. I did not see any trash lying about. The laundry room was clean with good equipment. Noise from I25 was substantial, but that is what you get at a KOA. This was quieter than most that I've stayed at. It is about 20 minutes from Santa Fe center. It is a good option if you wish to visit Santa Fe IMO. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is very clean and neat. The owners were very friendly and helpful. They have a "movie theater" that consists of chairs set up in a metal building with a large screen projector and a nice game room. One set of showers (in the movie theater/game room building) was old and musty, but clean. The scenery was not really visible from where we stayed. The park is what we call a typical KOA-trailers were very close together with no privacy from the neighbors-all neat & tidy and stacked like dominoes. All in all, we would stay here again for one night only. It is a nice place to park for just one night, but I wouldn't want to stay there for an extended period crammed right next to a big rig. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

For the price I would think you would get better than gravel roads and sites, no pool, no cable and spotty Wi-Fi. They did have wonderful restrooms, a nice view and a convenient location. Spaces on top, by the office are spacious. Would not want to be in the back, down the hill: very, very tight down there. We probably would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A beautiful park. Lots of privacy between campsites due to native pines and cedars. Tight turns required but no problem for our 34' towing Jeep. Park is on a hill but sites all seemed very level. People were great. The access road (Old Las Vegas HWY) is a bit long in the tooth but once you enter the park, you're in a beautiful place with tons of ambiance and everything you'll need for a great stay. We travel with kids and they had a blast between game room, biking park and playground. A great stay would do it again and stay longer if possible. We camped here in a Motorhome.

When I think of a typical KOA this park comes to mind. Staff was friendly & helpful. Park is built into natural setting without altering it. Park is very dusty. Park roads are narrow & turns tight for a big rig as we rubbed vegetation. Roads & sites are dirt. Sites are narrow, but some are long enough to accommodate big rig & tow vehicle. Our slide was a foot from neighbor's table. Utilities are modern & well placed. This campground needs to make some capital improvements. I would suggest graveling roads & sites and adding concrete patios. We observed nothing to make us believe they are adding a pool. We felt park was very overpriced as it is 12 miles from tourist area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wow, this place is beautiful! Their customer service is impeccable. I wish they'd had a swimming pool but we learned that there will be one here by the end of this summer. Their sites are all dirt/gravel but then again so is every other park here in Santa Fe. The trees provide very nice privacy between the sites and the weather here is incredible. You are aways out from the shopping in the heart of Santa Fe, but the drive is pretty and not difficult at all. They are liberal with their maps and are happy to give you any directions you might need. We decided to stay an extra night here and the office staff was very accommodating to our request even though they had to move another person. We promise to be back! Will recommend this park to anyone and everyone! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is very nice. However, all sites are dirt. It could be a problem with dust when the wind comes up and probably could get a little muddy when the snow melts or they have some rain. However, being here in April with cold mornings, we didn't have a problem. The sites have a picnic table and either a grill on a post or a campfire ring. The sites are separated by either a small fence or small trees. We did have to put a block under the wheel to level our rig. It is quiet and I like the "country feel". The staff was very helpful and friendly. We were escorted to our site because it did make a difference in how you pulled in. They also let us use their phone when our cells wouldn't work. The laundry room was clean and the machines worked. Their store was pretty well stocked. The cable reception was excellent as was the Wi-Fi connection (which was free). The campground is on a frontage road and is about 10 miles from Santa Fe. The staff was very helpful in telling us how to get to Santa Fe and where to park. We would definitely stay here again.

An excellent clean campground that is easily accessible off the frontage highway to I-25. Very little road noise. Quiet and clean. Staff was very helpful. Even though we arrived just at closing, they cooked a pizza for us and delivered it to our 5th wheel. The only weakness to the campground was no gravel in the campsites but rather a dirt base. This weakness was made up for by the campgrounds' proximity to Santa Fe and the numerous cedars/pinions in the campground. Wi-Fi was free! We stayed two nights and will definitely return.

The showers and bathroom are immaculate and have plenty of hot water. People sometimes complain about the dust, but hey, this is the Southwest and dust comes with the territory! I would much rather have dust than have to camp on a paved surface in an RV park that looks like a parking lot. We also greatly appreciate that this KOA doesn't light up the campground like a prison at night. You can actually see the stars! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a good park and is well maintained. The sites are gravel & dirt and things can get a little dusty with traffic moving around the campground or in the wind. Some of the sites are a little tight - our 27ft travel trailer fit our site well, but the fellow next to us had problems positioning his camper so that his slide-outs would fit. Be sure that the office knows your needs. As with most commercial campgrounds, we wish the sites had more room between them; our next door neighbors on each side were friendly, but we didn't want to get to know them THAT well. The utilities on the sites are in good shape, but the wi-fi was a little spotty even though we were pretty close to the office; good enough for e-mail and some light internet use. The owners/managers are friendly and eager to provide information about places to go and things to see in the area. This campground has easy access from I-25 and is about 9 miles east of Santa Fe.

A very enjoyable experience with pleasant and helpful staff, very clean facilities and good wi-fi coverage. The only reason I rated it 9 instead of 10 is that there is no cell phone coverage for Verizon customers. Other cell phone providers appear to be usable. This campground occasionally has other services available. For example, some nights you can order pizza and have it delivered to your site. Also, one night there was a band playing on the patio area. I highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

We stayed here for six nights and found it to be very good for a stay of that length. Convenient to both I-25 and Santa Fe, friendly people, and clean. Wifi signal was very strong in our site, D-1. I think the transmitter was in the game room next door. The Wifi went down twice during our stay, but they restarted it right away when I told them. The reason I only rated this site as an 8 is the narrow sites. We were on the big rig row. The sites are long enough but right next to each other. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were so happy with this park that we extended our stay, and plan to return here on the way home. The office staff (all family members) are as varied in their efficiency as any family. The "Grandma" in charge is a sharp, witty, and informative lady (she prefers Grandma to Mrs. Brown). Our dog was happy to walk the trail around the park with us, and the sites and roads (gravel) are wide and big rig friendly. Some sites have patios (extra charge), and the water pressure is less than one might expect, but this is Santa Fe, and water is at a premium. The location of this park (Route 599 + I25) is perfect for getting around and in Santa Fe. You can by-pass and go north to Taos and the casinos, or go in any direction on a limited access road. There is a condo/home development being constructed adjacent to this property, which should provide additional traffic, but I don't think it will alter the fantastic views (it is downhill).

All the sites were at least partially shaded, some of the pull throughs were a little too narrow but overall we were very happy with our stay here and would stay again. A pool would have been nice (says our daughter), there was a little traffic noise and the water pressure in the showers was a little low.

The Santa Fe KOA is easy to find on the frontage road adjacent to I-25. There is little traffic noise. On the expensive side for an overnight. Set in natural landscape, each site has a picnic table, grass, trees, and several have flower boxes set in the ground. Some have barbeque grills. Each site had electrical, water, modem and dump available. Sites were a little tight for a class A - long enough but barely wide enough between the trees. That said, the entire campground had many trees except for the pull through sites. Smaller campsites were tucked in between the trees. The staff is smiling, friendly and helpful without exception. If you get there before 8pm, fresh baked pizza is available delivered to your site. Good pizza, too. The park is immaculate. There is a pet walk with a 3-foot fence, where you may let your dog off leash. Ours is too big to let off leash in that space, but the area is kept very clean and odor free. Rottweilers, Dobermans and Pit Bulls not allowed here. This was our first RV camping stop and it was an outstanding experience. Future campgrounds have a lot to live up to!

Fairly typical KOA on the outskirts of Santa Fe just off I25. The small trees typical of
the area don't give much shade. As with most KOAs, sites are fairly small and cramped. Good showers and restroom and typical KOA store. Rec room with modem
hookup. Dump station and propane. Closes for the winter. Location on the South side of town is inconvenient if you plan to visit Taos, Los Alamos, or other
sites to the north. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We stayed here for 3 nights. The park is easy to get to & from Interstate 25. Although the park was located near the Interstate, it was pretty quiet as it is on the edge of town. The view of the city lights at night was quite pleasant. The park was built on a slope so the sites were tiered but not necessarily level. The interior roads and sites were gravel. The pull through sites were long enough to accommodate our motorhome and toad. They have full hook ups – water, electricity (50/30/20 AMP), & sewer connections – and an outside table which was not on an all weather hard surface pad. The utility connections were towards the end of the site so you might need a lot of hose. There are no trees in the area so there was no encroachment on the sites & road. There was sufficient room to open slides. As there were no obstructions to the southern sky satellite reception was good. There were a few back-in sites. The free WiFi reception was satisfactory. There didn’t seem to be any long term residents in the park. The fenced pet area was located in the middle of the park. The surface was fine bark over a landscape fabric. Some of the fabric was exposed due to the lack of bark. The area had a couple of bag dispensers and waste collection cans. There was a walking trail along the edge of the park to walk. Dogs were welcome on the trail. There were bag dispensers along the trail to pick up waste. We used the restroom/shower building. It was very clean and modern. We didn’t use the laundry room. There was a large multi-purpose room in the main building which was very nice. No pool or hot tub. The office staff was very interactive as they own the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We liked the fact that this park was easy to get to off I-25. The best part of this park was the very nice dog-walking trail that went around the park. However, the sites were vary narrow and without shade. Since it was late April shade wasn't important. But in the summer this might have a negative impact. The most disappointing situation was with the young man who checked us in. When I filled out the registration I chose a pull-through site which $39 as the price. Then I saw farther down on the form that they offered discounts for Good Sam members. So I asked him what the price would be after the discount. His response was that $39 was with the discount applied. I questioned his response and he insisted he was right, so I didn't argue with him. I should also point out that he was on his cell phone the entire time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a family run RV park and the family is very friendly and informative about the area. We chose to park at a site without the concrete patio, but asked to be somewhere that the Wi-Fi was good. We were told that the Wi-Fi was good throughout the park. We should have paid for the concrete pad as we didn't even get a picnic table and even though we were parked right under the Wi-Fi receiver we never were successful in making a connection. We were told to take our laptop outside and connect and then it would continue to work inside but that didn't work either. The laundry had 6 washers and 8 dryers. However, there were 2 out of order signs on the washers and 3 on the dryers. There as a 3/4 mile walk around the perimeter of the park which was a great dog walk and the views of the Santa Fe lights at night were really nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were charged on then the advertised rate, when I asked why, I was told because the Balloon festival was going on. Then he had to ask if indeed that was the case. I asked if we would be able to see any of the balloons and was told no they were too far away. Turns out the festival was 70 miles away. He also said I was lucky to get a site as he had turned people away. Not sure why he would do that because the campground was half empty. Not sure why this campground had so many wonderful reviews.

This should be at least an 8 if not 10, nice bog park, level sites, big bathrooms but lack of effective management gives it a 5 at best. We were there during Balloon Festival and it was understaffed for completely full park hence the Wi-Fi did not work and no one at the desk knew how or attempted to fix it and the bathrooms lacked toilet paper and were messy. Because they have been in business long enough to know when the big hits will come, they also should know how to prepare for it. Look elsewhere and closer to Santa Fe. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The only reason that I'm not rating it a 10 is that the WiFi didn't work well, very slow connection, in spite of having many repeaters relaying the signal.

This park is located on the south side of the city, high on a hill with great views. Sites were nicely level, with terraced patios. Separation was about 20'. Very nice clean facility with easy access and friendly staff. Internet was very slow and difficult to connect. Otherwise, we enjoyed our overnight here and would use it again.

Impressed with this park. Best in Santa Fe. Stunning views as it is up on a ridge overlooking everything and lots of wind. Landscaping was beautiful and very natural with some nice sculptures here and there. Great hiking trail around the entire park for walking the dog and a nice dog park too. Staff is mostly family, very helpful in recommending restaurants, etc. No shade, some long term residents who are working in the area. We had a premium site with patio on the end, so not tight. Stayed a week and got the 7th night free. Would definitly stay here again, but not all that impressed with Santa Fe -- very crowded town. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Good park. WiFi worked good once you got it to connect the first time. Sites are a little narrow but not too bad. Price was for a "patio" site with a table. The landscaping appears to have gotten away from them, very over grown and poor choice of plants. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate reflects monthly rate. We have stayed here before, and we like this park. Wi-Fi is marginal and can't connect VPN, due to some censoring software on their server. What's defined as shade here wouldn't make the definition back East. Enough room, quiet, sort of in the sticks, but still convenient to Santa Fe and especially to sites north of town. Somewhat exposed to thunderstorms, but that comes with the territory. Nice views. We will stay here again if we return to Santa Fe. We camped here in a Motorhome.

While we had a rough start with our reservations with this park, they eventually made it right. We stayed three nights. It is a nice park and especially pet friendly. The restrooms are very nice. The laundry had some machines out of order. Washers are $2. On Friday evening they had a family band on the patio, free of charge. They are close to the rail system that supports Santa Fe and Albuquerque am and pm commuters. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Wonderful people running their establishment with great personalities; honest, genuine people! The Shade Sites Available, it is coming with the growth of the trees. The RV park is true to its words; it is beautiful, clean sites, the roads are easy to drive on, the sites are easy to find and you drive yourself to your designated site. No guide or escort necessary or required. The RV spots are not on top of each other or too close to each other that you will see into each other RVs. Distance and privacy is nice! The views and sunsets are lovely. If we ever go back to Santa Fe, NM, we will stay at this hilltop Santa Fe Skies RV Park which is up and out of the noise and busy streets of Santa Fe. The drive is easy and fast to downtown. The staff suggested several popular restaurants and we enjoyed our experience at a suggested restaurant, and we enjoyed our stay at their quiet park. You will, too! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very pleasant office staff and very friendly check in process. We were allowed to pick our FHU pull-through patio site. We did need to use a few blocks to level. The bathrooms are spacious, clean, and modern, with lovely natural light through the skylights. The WiFi, water, and electric was all good. It’s a nice view over the valley, and quiet. There are nice plantings that could be better showcased by some more weeding. We would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great, safe park south of Santa Fe, great views of the mountains, although a little breezy due to it's hilltop location. Convenient to Old Town, cheap train ride in: only 1/2 mile from the park. Showers and bathrooms were spotless. Well away from transients/traffic.

At first view, it is apparent that the owners think more of their dogs than their guests, as is evidenced by the new flashy dog park. Had only that money been spent to improve a few of the dusty, unlevel, dirt and gravel sites. The park has numerous Wi-Fi antennas, but the Wi-Fi was miserable for 4 days, then a repair man arrived and bingo, excellent. Expect wind at this hilltop park. The staff were not too friendly. Here's my ratings: dog park - 10, people park - 6, office staff - 6, location from town - 7, Wi-Fi - 10 ( when working), sites - 6, restrooms and showers - 10, general park appearance - 6 (too much dust, live-ins).

This is a large park with plenty of room. Most of the sites are pull-throughs, level, and covered with gravel. Some have concrete patios. Park roads are dirt/gravel. The park sits on a hill to the south of Santa Fe with good access to I-25. The downtown area of Santa Fe is about a 15-minute drive away. The park has a few trees and other landscaping, but not a lot of shade. Satellite access is excellent. Compared to the two other parks in the area, this is by far the best choice. We will stay here again. For those needing diesel/mechanical repairs, Hal Burns Truck Repair, is close by. We had our dash AC repaired there and cannot praise them enough.

The $41 rate was with the Sam's Club discount for a pull through site with patio. This park met our needs for a one night stay. The sites were fairly large and the hookups located together except for the sewage. It was at the rear where our 15 foot hose would barely reach. This is high desert, so don't expect trees, but the desert flowers were well watered and blooming. The Wi-Fi was slow; OK for e-mail and some browsing, but not for video streaming. All in all, it was a pleasant place to stay with friendly staff. Watch out for the speed bumps, they are severe. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I agree with the previous poster as to the park getting to be a little run down due to mismanagement. This park could be one of the premier parks of Santa Fe if they would just do a little cleaning up and maintenance. The sites are large and level but the managers are letting them revert back to the desert. The weeds are getting overgrown and you can not walk beside your rig without getting into the stickers. We also had an ant infestation inside the rig. While we were here, there were plenty of empty sites but the people in the office parked everyone in the same row side by side of each other instead of spreading the rigs out and leaving space in between rigs. For the money we expected a lot more. The pictures on their web site must have been taken several years ago when the owners cared about their place. They do not reflect the run down state of the park today. If we ever go back to Santa Fe again we will probably find another place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is sad how badly mismanaged this park is because it could be a really nice one. The internet that they advertise will not get you onto the net. They are quick to tell you that nobody else is having problems and the truth is everybody is complaining. The dog waste stations were overflowing with filled bags for days on end. Nice new restrooms with filthy showers. Very windy while we were here. Easy interstate access. Priced like a first rate park but really below average. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice spacious "hilltop" campground with view (but also exposed if high winds, which there were for part of our stay--VERY bad that first day!). Pricey - rate reflects 10% Good Sam discount, which was immediately offset by NM's state & lodging taxes!! Great dog park in campground. You HAVE to eat at the San Marcos Cafe, only a few miles south of the campground. WOW!!! Best food ever (I had the blintzes - worth going back to NM for!)! And in such a fun setting - cute building (that is also a feed store) surrounded by peacocks, chickens, and turkeys! And my husband loved the tamales at El Parasol. I found their food to be too spicey for this gringo, but hubby loved it! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good Wi-Fi and cell service - nice family owners. Situated on top of a ridge which is exposed and dusty when the wind blows. El Rancho de las Golandrinas living history museum is nearby and a wonderful day for us. WiFi worked pretty well for us. We sprung for a premium site with a great view and concrete pad.

Overall, it is a nice park. We have stayed here before in years past. Park maintenance needs to be addressed. Dogs are supposed to be on leashes but there were a number of dogs running around without a leash. Our small dog (14 lbs) was attacked by a much larger dog while the owner screamed at the attacking dog. I also noticed that a number of pet owners did not pick up after their dog had done their business. The power and water hookups were good. The Wi-Fi sucked. It was up and down like a yo-yo. The desk clerk said it must be my problem since no one had complained. I talked to other campers about the problem and they said they also had problems with the Wi-Fi. It is an easy in/out for a big rig. I guess we would stay here again. The rate quoted was a discounted rate. We stayed here for 2 weeks. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very pleasant park with friendly staff and very well-maintained grounds. Sites are well separated. Free Wi-Fi internet is outstanding: I could "see" 8 hotspots from my campsite, and the speed of the connection was very fast. I've never seen a campground with such excellent Wi-Fi coverage. The large solar array represents a sizable investment in clean energy. Again, I haven't seen that at any other campground. The $35/night price represents a 10% FMCA/Good Sam discount; their weekly rate is only $30 a night. I'll definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park that sits on elevated terrain with a great view of the distant mountains and Santa Fe. We really enjoyed the walking trail around the park and had high expectations for the rest. The park is very clean, well-maintained, and the utilities are good with the exception of the wi-fi. We had a repeater antenna right next to our sight, but the service was unusable. We stayed there 2 weeks and couldn't get them to do anything about it. They seemed unresponsive and would only say that no one else was having a problem. So, it was just "our" problem. That was frustrating to say the least. Also, sites are very close, and the concrete patio was so narrow it was almost unusable. Another thing that reflected management attitude was that we told them about one of the dog-poo cans being so full it was overflowing out onto the ground. It took them over a week to get it emptied. Also, be aware that this time of year it is VERY windy here, especially sitting up on higher terrain. If we come back to Santa Fe we will explore other possibilities. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Their nightly rate is $41 but if you pay for six nights, you get the 7th night free. You will want to pay close attention to the dip at the entrance ‘gate’ and all the over-sized speed bumps. The roads are gravel as are the sites. Not all sites are the same size and not all have easy access or patios. Our neighbor’s sewer connection was about a foot off our patio. The water pressure could have been better. Our internet card and cell phone worked well. There is a good ¾ mile walking trail around the park but no swimming pool or spa. You can recycle cans at the office via someone’s grandson. We didn’t notice any road noise or train noise. No problem coming here again. We had a great view out our front window. There doesn’t seem to be any signage to help as you get close to the park but Rand McNally GPS routed us in just fine. When you leave, if you want to get on I-25 north, make sure you don’t end up at the dead end; the entrance ramp has been moved. We camped here in a Motorhome.

They also have long, concrete patios in the spots. All utilities worked well (I used 50 amp service). From our spot, the views of the mountains and Santa Fe were awesome. They have winding walking trails throughout the park that were great also. Bathhouses were very clean and water pressure in the roomy showers was great.

Very friendly staff for a late arrival. Nobody available to guide me to the site and the grounds were very dark. I didn't see my assigned site until I was past it and didn't want to back up with the tow car hooked up. Just found the next pull thru site and parked. No one complained and I got a much needed rest. As I was leaving early the next morning I did notice that a lot of the sites seemed to be occupied by rigs that had construction trucks parked by them.

We have stayed here several times in the pull-through sites. We prefer the super-sized sites near the office as they are very long so a big rig can stay hooked up overnight. The other sites are a little on the short side so must unhook your toad. The sites on the end, closest to the entrance road are the best of the normal pull-throughs. If you pull in all the way to the office to check-in, you will have to turn around and circle through the park to get back to your site. Not the best set-up but this is a nice, quiet and clean park otherwise and we will continue to stop there when visiting the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is very quiet yet conveniently located to I-25. There are no amenities at the park except for walking trail around it; therefore, not a family-friendly park in my opinion. We reserved a site in January (for the Albuquerque Balloon Festival) and were told the only site available was Yucca #30 which is adjacent to a park service road. The first night the park put a trailer right on the service road so close to our site that we couldn't open our basement storage doors! The next morning I complained to the office and was told that there was no where else to put them and that the RV would be gone in the morning. No one came and explained the situation to us or apologized which they agreed they should have done at the time. Since there is no place to sit outside your RV except at the picnic table in the full sun on a tiny concrete pad not even outside your RV door and the fact that they advised the service road is used to park RVs when there is no where else to put them, we requested that we be moved to another site, Zinnia 1. They agreed, and we were most thankful as another RV was parked in the service area not 4 feet from the new occupant of Yucca #30 two nights later! Zinnia #1 is one of the best sites as it is very long with a very long concrete patio along one side of which is a large flower bed filled with wild flowers in season. We also had great views of the mountains with no other RVs in our windshield. My advise to anyone staying at this park is to NOT accept Yucca #30. To be charged $45 per night during Balloon Festival and then not be able to enjoy your site is simply ridiculous. This site should only be assigned as an overflow site and the renters advised that another RV could be parked close to them. The Wi-Fi at the park was good; however, it was out of service for most of the day one day, perhaps due to the severe rain and wind the previous night. During the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta this park is full every day so you must book a long time in advance if you are planning on staying for more than a day or two. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is laid out so that you drive past most of the rows to the registration office and then loop back to your row. Our space was in Aster, which required a turn greater than 90 degrees on top of a speed bump. Even going as slow as possible it shook our coach to pieces. Sites are very long, but as park is on a hill, most have a slope that requires extra leveling. Restrooms were large and immaculately clean; some of the best we have ever seen. Park is very quiet at night as well as very dark - - there is not any kind of lighting among the sites. Minimizes light pollution and makes for good stargazing, but take a flashlight if you go outside at night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an attractive RV park outside the city limits of Santa Fe, in an open space zone, and a sufficient distance from Interstate 25. The RV park is located in a rural area of homes and has impressive unhindered views of the Santa Fe Mountains and Jemez Mountains. There is a pull-through area that can handle the largest big rigs, and back-ins that seem to be liked by those who stay longer. The back-ins are clearly more spacious and some are extremely wide. The natural landscape of junipers and grasses is intermixed with the sites and during our stay there was a colorful display of wildflowers. An impressive amenity is the extensive oversized immaculate restrooms. They are perhaps the best I have seen at an RV park. So good I used them instead of the one in the motorhome. I was puzzled by the slow Wi-Fi since hot spots are located though-out the RV Park. Many of the back-in sites and some pull-throughs have a patio. It is not just a slab or the typical square pad with the corners cracked-off. The patios are full length, solid, wide, level,and enhance the site. A few sites appear to have patios with keystone blocks and pavers. There is an extra charge for these sites. The clubhouse, which is closed in the evening is a disappointment. Other downsides are the rate and the main entrance road. The rate is high for a lack of recreational amenities and yet it is lower than the sub-par RV parks of Santa Fe. The entrance road is a common easement for residents who live on the east side of the RV Park. So their traffic enters and exits the RV P\park. Our rate reflects the weekly rate and we will return when visiting Santa Fe again. We stayed here in a motorhome. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice park. It has a majority of level pull through sites and some back-ins. It is convenient to get to from I-25 and easy to maneuver within the park. It is about a 10-15 minute drive to downtown Santa Fe. Many sites have a small concrete patio area & all sites have a picnic table. There is not much shade (trees have been planted with partial shade in some area), but the owners have planted many native flowering plants. It has great views of the area and gorgeous nite skies.

We needed to come to Santa Fe for some repairs to our motorhome and Santa Fe Skies managed to squeeze us into a site in spite of the fact that they were hosting a rally and were very full. This park has very easy access from I-25 and has a variety of sites for all types of rigs. Our 40' rig has been repaired and is now happily sitting in a larger pull through site with a very nice concrete patio. We have extended our stay for another week. This is our first visit to this park and it will not be our last. The facility is very clean and folks are outside working on maintenance every day. They have a very "hands on" approach to operating this facility. Office personal are great. Propane is available, electricity is rock steady, water pressure is fine. The views are pretty darn good, considering that we are just minutes from downtown Santa Fe. The wind can get pretty exciting, but the previous poster who complained in his review should understand what part of the country he is in!! This is a fine place to stay.

The rate reflected was Good Sam rate plus if you stay 6 nights, you get the 7th night free. We have a nice concrete patio and picnic table here. They used to charge more for the lots with concrete patios but they did away with the extra charge for them. Nice level gravel sites and inside roads are gravel. Great walking trail (3/4 mile) around perimeter of park. The wind does blow at this park, but they give you a handout when you check-in telling you in bold type, "do not leave your awnings out as they get a lot of wind here". Aesthetically pleasing with all the nice Russian Sage, flowers, and trees around. Some sites are already getting some shade from trees that were planted when they opened the park.

I know I am rating this park below what several other recent reviewers have. I usually tend to do the opposite. This park was fine, but there were a number of annoying things. 1. The site they gave us when we checked in was lousy. I complained they gave us a relatively good site. 2. Power kicked off when you got to just below 50 amps. And with the extreme hot sun you get in Santa Fe you need all 50 amps. 3. Wi-Fi was variable. There were several park Wi-Fi to connect to and I had results from no park Wi-Fi to pretty good. I was at the end of the row though so maybe distance was the problem. 4. The "gentle breeze" described by a previous poster was more like a hurricane. There were many wind blasts while we spend 4 days there. You did not dare leave out your awnings and you needed them here. 5. Tight entrance. The park was clean. This is a big rig friendly park. I recommend upgrading to the better premium sites. We did not but would do so if we came back. Just as a comment on Santa Fe. I thought it would be a highlight of our six week trip. It is not. The city center where we went on the weekend where all the vendors were there was Rodeo Drive high priced. My wife's comment, "this is no fun everything is too high priced to buy anything". I went into a belt buckle shop and the prices were silly expensive. We did go to the official flea market north of town the next day and had lots more fun. If you want to see things fairly priced go to the flea market on Flea Market St right next to the Opera House. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very clean park with a great view of the mountains and sunsets. The entrance is a bit small for big rigs but at 5 mph, you should be scratch free. The WiFi was excellent and cable provided us with a handful of channels. We were here for two nights and we would recommend this park to everyone. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice campground with a 360 degree view of the area. Up on a hill with nice breezes. Most sites were gravel pull-thrus, but we opted for one with a patio for an extra $3. There's a slight slope in the park, but not too bad. Shower/restrooms were very nice with tile floors and plenty of units. Excellent entertainment one of the nights we were there, although I don't believe they provide this often. Excellent Wi-Fi reception. We would recommend this campground to anyone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is the second time we have stayed in this park and find it to be one of the nicest if not the nicest in this particular area. The showers and comodes are very clean and they offer separate areas in front of the showers for changing and storing your shower needs. They have good wifi and management is friendly and helpful. It is located out of the busy Santa Fe downtown area so it is easy to get in and get out. Highly recommend this park to serve as a base camp for the Santa Fe area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Terrific staff. Nice looking facility. Pet rules are very "common sense" - pets must be under control. If a leash is needed - use it. If the pet is under voice control you're OK. Some sites are very tight with insufficient space to extend the awning. Suggest you "scope out" sites available as you drive thru. Staff very amenable to allowing you to relocate - depends on availability. Great view of Santa Fe. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at this very nice campground longer than we had expected to. An electrical problem in our motorhome was very effectively solved by a personable and knowledgeable young man from the mobile "Complete RV Care". The campground was a quiet place (few kids) on a hill overlooking Santa Fe and the nearby mountains. The campground is rather dark at night, but this allows a wonderful view of the city lights below and the stars above. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great park with wonderful views of Santa Fe and mountains. NIce and quiet. Most are pull through sites which can accommodate any size rig. Owners are really nice and have lots of information about the area. Campground is gravel, so a bit dusty. Many sites have concrete pads with picnic table but cost extra. All trees are pretty small. No complaints for this park. Would stay here again. I'd give it a 9 if it had a pool! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed in every other RV park in the area before discovering this one. This was our 6th visit and we will be back in the fall. We like the spacious sites. Ours has always been level. The restrooms and showers are spacious, private, and usually clean. WiFi consistency is an issue, but we think it is because of the wind. The location is wide open at a higher elevation. The owners are helpful and they put out a weekly newsletter. Their recommendations for restaurants are great! We camped here in a Motorhome.

As of this park, I have used rvparkreviews.com to help me select 114 different campgrounds across the country. This is the first time I’ve ever felt like I was steered wrong. Yes, the owners at Santa Fe Skies are nice. Yes, the location is atop a hill outside Santa Fe giving you relatively nice views. But $38/night for an un-level, ant-infested, weed-overrun, gravel and powdery dirt site with no patio, cable, pool, hot tub, trash pick-up, or dog run is too high, even for a tourist town. And that’s with a 10% discount! This obviously used to be a nicer park than it is now, because there are gorgeous flowering plants hiding among the weeds. But the entire place needs grading, re-graveling, weeding, and exterminating. On the plus side, the office is lovely. The laundry is nice. The water tasted good and power and sewer worked fine. The location is about 20 minutes from the downtown square and is at the north end of the Turquoise Trail – a great day trip. I also have to give them kudos for installing a solar array. However, on their web site, they call themselves Santa Fe’s Big Rig park, implying others in the area are not able to accommodate larger rigs. Not so. We visited several other parks in the area and found plenty of sites that would easily take rigs larger than our 40’ MH and toad. We will stay elsewhere in Santa Fe next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a beautiful campground far enough from the city to see tons of stars at night but close enough to Santa Fe and other attractions to keep busy for quite a while. The family who operates Sante Fe Skies is great and they keep the laundry, restrooms and showers immaculate. Our site had gorgeous views with a concrete patio and picnic table and was large enough to accommodate our 40 foot motorhome and Jeep. We discovered that April is not really a good time to be in Sante Fe though, at it can be extremely windy. Our nightly rate was based on their monthly price. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Friendly staff, easy access from 1-25, majority pull-through for easy overnight, some with paved patios if you pay extra. We had to ask to change sites due to the length and un-levelness of our site. Beware that some of the turns can be a little tight and if you pull up to the office to check-in you will mostly likely have to turn around in the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great place to stay and to use as a base. We went to Taos one day and then into Santa Fe, but found we needed more than a couple of days. The staff was very friendly and helpful and provide you with a list of places they recommend. The sunsets were wonderful. Our site was level and gravel. There were picnic tables and they sell propane. I understand the showers and laundry room were clean but we don't use them. We will stay here again and recommend it to others.

Very strong Wi-Fi and they seem to have a lot of repeaters throughout the camp so I would assume that it was strong everywhere. Very friendly staff. A couple of concerns. The site we were at required my discharge hose to go up hill some so that made things a bit complicated when it was time to leave and dump my tanks. Also, the connector at the sewer site for my site was broken so the top would come off if I did not put a rock on it. The site itself was pretty level just needed to adjust a bit to get the bubbles in the center. Very quiet camp. Great views especially at sunset. Great location right outside of Santa Fe. It only took about 10 minutes to get to the city plaza. We would definitely use this park again if we come back through this area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The park is located on a hill SE of Santa Fe (only a short drive to Old Santa Fe downtown). There was some work going on in the park, but only a slight distraction during our two-day stay. The bathrooms were immaculate. Even though some of the nicer sites weren't large enough for big rigs, the smaller ones were adequate with plenty of room between them (gravel, but fairly level). The electric and water hookups appeared to be fairly new. We would probably stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Price reflects FMCA discount for a 50 amp FHU back-in site. Pull thrus are an additional $8 and looked to be fairly narrow. Sites are gravel with picnic tables and some with patios.

The entrance to this park is narrow for a big rig so a word of caution there. We were not given a choice of a patio site; we would have taken it. It also took several minutes for the office staff to finish their conversation (not work related) and greet us. Our site was a long pull through & was OK. In the men's shower house the shower head had been taken off and not replaced. Only one place for trash, no pick up or easy place to dump it. We would return here because despite the drawbacks it is a big rig park & the only real one in the area. Staff did answer our questions and give us good information. Their showers, bathroom & office areas were very nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Convenient to I-25 but far enough away that it is very quiet. It is ten miles to downtown Santa Fe. Roads and parking pads are gravel, in generally good condition. We had a "pull through patio" site which got us a large concrete patio with nice table and 4 chairs, well worth the extra price. Unfortunately the owners have let some permanent sites with lots of junk develop. But it is big rig friendly, check-in was fast, and views are nice. We will stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We made reservations several months ago at this park and got the site we requested. We used their online reservation system, and it worked just fine. The site (Z1) was level, and had a nice concrete patio with table. We were close to the office, but the WiFi was a little weak. We spent 6 days here, and really liked the country feel: very quiet, and clean. Staff was very helpful, on more than one occasion when we needed information about local services. The view was amazing! About 10 minutes south of Santa Fe, and 2 blocks from NM 14, otherwise known as the Turquoise HWY. We would stay here again. The site we had was more than long enough to accommodate our 60' length. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Long gravel pull-through sites with full hookups, some with concrete patios and picnic tables. Free fast wireless internet throughout the park. Family owned and operated, with a friendly and competent staff. Tourist information is available at the registration desk. Rail Runner commuter rail station nearby with service between Albuquerque and Santa Fe downtown. Delightful views as the entire park is on a bluff, overlooking the area.

Great RV park. A view of the mountains in every site. The landscape is what you find out west. They have some flowers that are very pretty. The sunsets are breathtaking. The sites are a little close but had no trouble parking the rig and didn't see anyone else having trouble either. The showers and restrooms are super clean. Very nice laundromat. A great walking path around the park. There is a kitchen and lounge area available for the guest. Also a little store with some supplies and souvenirs. The office staff is very helpful and there is loads of local information available. We did a lot of day trips from here, the location is great. Restaurants and shopping start about 5 miles down the road. Some things are hard to find because a lot of the business is in shopping plazas. We would definitely stay here again.

This is indeed a BIG RIG park. You cannot see much from you site other than the rigs beside you. Also had Rams Head sticker burr plants all over with some in our site. They need to work on keeping this under control. Showers and bathrooms were beyond clean. BUT, showers had very effective water saver heads which I personally hate. Rather than a shower, you get blown with cold air. No store in this park, has meeting rooms and an entertainment room with kitchen. You can get ice cream bars, but that is about all. Closest shopping is about 5 miles away. Very quiet. But, all in all, I'd stay in the Santa Fe KOA instead of this park. I felt it was too expensive, but if you need a big rig space, this is the place. We camped here in a Motorhome.

You are about 12 miles from Albertsons and it is a drive to downtown. We don't like speed bumps and there are several large ones inside the park. It is easy in and out for big rigs. We also did not find the high grass and weeds mentioned earlier but if you want something other than desert landscape this is not the park for you. We had made a reservation for a patio site and the one we were given was level and at the end of the row with no one in front of us or to the side blocking the views. The water and power were good and it is very quiet with no highway noises. We used a Verizon air card but did notice the campground Wi-Fi signal was very weak at our site. Some of the sites are not real level in this park and people had wood blocks under their wheels but we did not see any sloping so much that one could not get level. We would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is mainly a big rig park located about seven miles south of Santa Fe. All sites are gravel, some have a concrete patio, and most are level. The bathrooms and showers are superb, clean and modern. The location is quiet and it takes only a few minutes to get to downtown Santa Fe. It is also convenient to many other sites in the area including Los Alamos. Management is very helpful and is a great resource to what is in the surrounding area and how to get there.

Several people talked about the weeds between the sites in this park. We did not feel that was a problem, as that is just "desert landscaping". This is New Mexico after all. The park help was constantly working on keeping the weeds from being in places that they shouldn't be. The sites are all level and easy for a big rig to negotiate. The park is on top of a hill so the views in all directions are great. The Wi-Fi worked well except for a couple of times. When there was a problem, the park help got on it right away and solved the problem. They are in the process of putting in an entirely new system, which should make it even better. There were only 2 problems that kept the rating down at all. There is no cable TV but that isn't the park's fault. No provider will bring it in to them. The other main problem is the traffic coming up the dirt road from the entrance to the lower RV sites. Most of these people are long term residents and drive fairly fast up this road creating a lot of dust. The park management said they will address this problem during the next year by blacktopping this road and putting in speed bumps. This park is the best big rig park in the Santa Fe area. We will stay here any time we are in Santa Fe. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We generally like this campground. It's the best one in the Santa Fe area for a big rig and we like the open skies for our satellite dish access. The rate we paid was for a week. What keeps it from being a 10 is the lack of cable TV and the lack of attention to the landscaping between sites. We had long grass and weeds outside our door that were uncomfortable to walk through in the frequent rain this time of year. (Maybe the landscaping just couldn't keep up with the growth from all the rain). We like the walking trail, the open views, and the people. We will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The full page ad in Woodalls was misleading. It indicated that this was a very nice big rig RV resort. It has very level sites and concrete spaces beside the sites. Restrooms and showers and laundry were nice. The views were lovely. The store had nothing but soft drinks and some souvenirs. We were told they didn't have enough money to buy picnic tables for all the sites but we could borrow one from an unoccupied site if we could find one. There's a lot of 'rustic' (rusty) old equipment and engines and parts sitting around that would be a safety concern for kids. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A nice park about 20 minutes from the center of Santa Fe, and true to its name has beautiful skies and views of the mountains. The front and back of the park are quite different. The front is like a regular RV park with the sites all in rows, but the back is a little more camp-like. We had excellent Wi-Fi in site #25.

Nice but very basic park, and your level of satisfaction may vary greatly depending on your site location. Paved road to office, gravel interior roads and sites. Sites fairly level, but park is on a hillside and some sites tend to slope downhill. A number of rigs (including ours) had blocks under the downhill side to get level. Located in a very barren area southwest of Santa Fe. Lots of trees have been planted, but are many years from being shade trees. Some sites had tables, many did not. No fire pits. And even charcoal grills are not allowed during high fire danger periods. Site size varies from fairly large to typical close side by side. Many sites have concrete patios (for extra dollars), but even those vary considerably. Some have nice large patios with tables, some have narrow strips of concrete not large enough for a table. Landscape maintenance was somewhat odd. It appeared to be left to grow to the natural state of the native vegetation. On some sites the vegetation was only a few inches tall. Others, like the open site next to ours, it was nearly waist deep. An Airstream two sites over, had vegetation about knee high just outside their door! If they had had a table (which they did not), the vegetation would have been over the seats. Wi-fi was unusable. Their info sheet said you could get high speed connection in the office area. I did not try it. No cable TV. Easy access off I-25. Fairly convenient to restaurants/shopping (3-4 miles) and downtown (7-8 miles). Very friendly staff. Lady stayed well past normal office closing time (7 PM) as she had 2 late arrivals (including us). OK for an overnight stop. But I would probably look elsewhere for an extended stay.

This is a very nice park with a scenic view of Santa Fe. We have stayed here many times; all things considered, it is the best available for Santa Fe. Their WiFi, however, is underpowered for the size of the park. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. And for the price, one would expect cable TV. They do increase their rates during the Albequerque Balloon Fiesta, and held onto those rates a few days afterward, which I didn't appreciate. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Overall all, we enjoyed staying at this park. We had one of the paved patio sites on the end, and it was a nice fit. The daily rate was $41 and since we stayed a week, we paid for six nights and got one night free. We didn’t use the WI-FI but we heard complaints about it. They recycle aluminum cans at the office. It was a quiet place with no road or train noise. We didn’t enjoy the speed bumps at all. Water pressure was marginal. We would stay here again, but feel that for the price, the pads should be paved.

The park is clean and well maintained. Maneuvering big rigs is no problem. While located on the outskirts of town, it is still a convenient drive to the center of Santa Fe activities. The staff seem eager to please. One issue. When we were checking in I asked about a WiFi password and the counter clerk/owner smiled and said, “No passwords, no problems, no promises.” Little did I know she wasn’t kidding. After a couple of days of limited, to no WiFi availability, I asked the desk clerk if there was a problem with their service, or if I might have a computer problem. He assured me that no one had complained about the service. I went outside and noticed their antenna. All of the modules were pointed at their long term residents. None were aimed at the area for short term guests. I asked the 6 guests that were parked in the same area I was and none of them could get WiFi for more than a few minutes. One of them told me that he took his laptop to the laundry and it worked fine there. If you’re a short term guest and WiFi is important to you, go someplace else. Otherwise, this is a nice park to stay at. We camped here in a Motorhome.

With easy access and friendly, helpful staff; this park has a country setting and very quiet. Choice of gravel sites, or gravel sites with cement patios are available. Sites are level. Has beautiful views. It's about a 10 or 15 minute ride into Santa Fe. I would highly recommend this facility. We are here ahead of the tourist season, so the park is not very crowded.

I'm a full time RVer so I always stay at the better parks for extended periods. The park was very nice. The slots have very ample space on either side. Water, electric and good and Wi-Fi is about 98%--about excellent. Very friendly, well maintained; prices are a little steep but Santa Fe in general is. Sometimes they rent their outdoor patio for parties, so you might want to avoid spots close to this area. Bath/shower house is 10+, the best you can find. Great Santa Fe sunsets and sun rises. The only negatives is that the park roads and slots are all gravel and the location is several miles south of town. But these are not biggies. After checking out a couple of other parks in town, I found this was the best. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We wanted to be close enough to Santa Fe for easy visits to museums, etc., but far enough out to have peace and quiet. This place fit the bill perfectly. Nice and peaceful, well maintained and the first wi-fi we've had in two weeks that worked fast and without any hiccups at all. Evening afforded nice views of the city below, stars above. It has a nice, clean laundry facility. We would stay here next time in SF for sure. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were right in front of the bathroom which was great because we were winterized and could not use our water or bathroom. The bathrooms were spotless with multiple stalls and sinks in a group setting. The bathrooms were also very warm (probably 75 degrees) which felt great on such a cold night. It was a one night stay on a long drive so we did not take advantage of any sites. The view of the city from the park was spectacular. Our site was level enough to not even deploy the levelers. There was snow on the ground & our site was gravel/mud. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Extremely clean bathrooms and showers. Helpful personnel. Great location, just on the southern edge of Santa Fe. Stayed here to ski at Ski Santa Fe, which is about 20 miles away. We would have given this park a 10 however, because it is all gravel roads, no Cable TV and the sites are a bit close if you (luckily in the winter it is not crowded) we gave it an 8.

We spent 4 nights there with 2 other rigs that were with us. It is pricey for the type sites you get but much better than those on the highway through town, and they are not cheap either. SFS is up on a hill overlooking the town. Plenty of room to walk the dogs. Fantastic bathrooms. Just down the hill on the highway is Tortilla Flats. Awarded "Best of Santa Fe" 3 times. Great food and reasonable prices. It was also suggested that for seafood, we should try Maricso's La Playa which was on the same highway and 7 miles from the RV park. We did not make it but we will next time we are in town. If you are down at the Plaza, a great place to eat is 2 blocks off the square. Tia Sophias, 210 West San Francisco Street. A great $7 lunch. 1/2 or less than the places around the Plaza. This is where the locals eat. Get in by 11 A.M. When we left there were over 30 people waiting for tables. We would stay there again. Especially after we saw the RV Parks down on the highway and how tight everyone was packed in. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Sites are a bit close together and separated by small strips of native vegetation. The small areas of vegetation are not green grass and if you need to have nice green grass you probably need to find someplace besides Santa Fe. There are no large expanses of grass in Santa Fe anywhere, except in some of the cemeteries. Some, but not all, of the sites have small concrete or brick patios with tables. All roads and sites are of gravel and the sites are close to level. Traffic flow is well laid out with numerous pull through sites. There is a nice small store in the campground and they sell propane. I had good WiFi at my site. Dump station is easy to get to. Park is on a rise south of Santa Fe with good views of the mountains and Santa Fe. There are often strong winds and it is not a good idea to leave your awnings open when you are gone. Office staff is friendly. Got good off the air DTV signals. Park nice and quiet at night. DO NOT try and take large RVs or trailers into the downtown area. We would stay here again.

We stayed here three years ago and had one of the best sites, with a cement patio, overlooking grassy, rolling hills. This visit we weren't quite so lucky as the campground was nearly full, although we managed to squeeze our 32' fifth wheel into the back in site allocated to us, with small patio and picnic table - in the Yucca section of the campground. Most sites are pretty level. The office has a well stocked store with supplies and information about attractions in the area. We like this campground due to the open spaces surrounding it, which is great for dog walking, but beware of the cactus which my dogs always seem to be attracted to, and I spend a good ten minutes pulling the "thorns" out of their paws and muzzle! There is an official gravel dog walk around the outside of the campground about 3/4 mile in length. Wi-fi was weak from our site. We would stay here again when visiting the Santa Fe area.

Other reviews are all pretty accurate. An above average park, but we stayed here when there was heavy snow, everything was muddy - which probably made our rating decrease at least a point.

When I talked to the office his comment was that it's not on his end so there wasn't anything he could do. Other than that instance the staff was friendly and helpfull.

Santa Fe Skies is a large well-maintained park. Main road is paved with gravel side roads and pads. Had a hard rain while we were there and the roads stayed very good. Many of the pads have small cement patios. Had to do some leveling on the site I had. Nice office and friendly staff. Sites closer together than I prefer. Traffic flow was good. It was quiet at night. Park is located on a hill overlooking Santa Fe leading to it being windy. Nice for ventilation but can lead to blowing dust.

Pull-through sites are too close together - in our area the sites were about 20' wide. Site not that level. The young man at check in assigned us a site near long-term campers - we really enjoyed being awakened two mornings at 6 AM when the fellow started his truck to go to work. Why he put us near the perimeter with the long-termers is a puzzle since there were plenty of other spots available. I haven't figured out their landscaping - they have some nice landscape beds, but the rest of the place looks unkempt in terms of grass and weeds. This RV park is OK - not great, but OK.

Nice park with friendly, accommodating, and very helpful staff. Our long, level, pull-through, gravel site had a great paved patio. Fabulous view of the valley and we enjoyed watching the valley lights, beautiful sunsets, and viewed multiple fireworks shows from our rooftop on July 4. Orientation of sites was perfect for shade on entry side during afternoon/hot part of day. Nice jogging trail encircles park, half crushed rock half dirt trail ~0.75 mi/loop. Free Wi-Fi with multiple ports, usually good speed. Clean and up to date spotless bathroom with 4 tiled shower stalls, bathroom stalls, even a salon style hairdryer seat. Dog friendly, but do pick up after your pet and do watch out for the cactus off the trails. Site fenced and seemed secure and peaceful. Active work seen on landscaping, but remember this is a desert, so not lush. Good access to I-25 but no road noise. The closest intersection has no road name posted so get directions. Many big rigs here but other smaller RVs there, too. Outside of Santa Fe proper, not on bus line, you will want a toad or easy to rent a car to get to town. We had seasonal weather, 80s during day, couple Rocky Mountain windy squalls with sprinkles in the afternoons, nothing bad, put awnings in if you leave. We would definitely stay here again.

Very well kept park and very friendly people who run it. Long pull-throughs suitable for the biggest rigs. Saw some 45' motorhomes with long trailers that could still get in. The sites face northwest so you get a great sunset view out the driver's side windows. The scenery is tremendous with mountains on just about all sides, and the sites are tastefully landscaped. The campground is located just off Route 14 which can be taken directly downtown to the major tourist attractions and shops, or I25 which can take you to Albuquerque in less than an hour. Strong Wi-Fi signals, landscaped sites, excellent gravel drives, and just about every amenity you could ask for including front loader washing machines in the laundromat made for a very pleasant stay. In fact, we were so pleased we extended our stay for two additional days instead of moving elsewhere. The campground is bordered by new homes, and there is a gravel dog walk and jogging trail that encircles it. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Santa Fe. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is half empty, and we were still given a site that is all gravel and dirt, instead of one with a concrete patio. I didn't question this at check in, as I was lead to believe the park was close to being full, or would be in the next few days.

There is a nice clubhouse area and patio with couches, chairs, tables, free videos, etc. The park is about 1 mile off the freeway, so traffic noise is not an issue. And the sunsets over the mountains are beautiful, as are the lights of the city below.

Rate listed is for back in site without patio - the least expensive site they offer. We felt that this campground was overpriced for the amenities that are offered. For $33 you get a dirt parking space located along a dirt road with 50 amp/water & sewer. Thats it. The laundry facilities were also some of the priciest we have seen. The staff was very helpful and had handouts ready listing all their favorite sites & restaurants. The wind does blow here - the park brochure even cautions you not to leave your awnings out if you leave the park. There is a lot to do in the area and if we return we will probably stay here again - just wish it was priced more reasonably for what you get. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park was given a 5 star rating by Woodalls and I'm guessing it is because the bathrooms and laundry were available and clean. However, the "resort" did appear a little junky and if you like dust... this is the place for you. There was severe wind every day, and since there is essentially no vegetation, the dust was everywhere; even with our door and windows closed all the time except to enter and exit. If you have allergies, this place will be murder, even our dog was sneezing while walking the 3/4 mile dirt path that surrounds the park. Nothing to do there, and we could spend no time outside other than to walk the dog as needed. The wind made it impossible to put our awnings out and we were even considering pulling our slides in due to the wind but didn't have to. No way to barbeque or eat or sit outside outside at all without being blown away. Their handout at check in warns about the severity of the winds. The old town of Santa Fe is about a 20 minute drive. Office personnel were very nice and did provide lots of tips for where to eat and how to get around. Laundry is $2 a load and $2 per load to dry.

Nice view of the mountains and Santa Fe at night, lots of stars to be seen as there is very little extra lighting at night. Nothing to do here except a short walking trail. Good laundry facilities, very clean. People were very nice and suggested what to see, how to get there and local restaurants. Back part of the park has a lot of permanent residents, bit junky and unmaintained there. Clean air, very quiet. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Signage to campground limited. Slightly narrow entrance to campground. Campground is located on hill just outside Santa Fe, with open aspect, panoramic views and a lot of wind. Office staff friendly and efficient providing a lot of information on Santa Fe. Sites are mainly gravel pull-thrus which are flat. There is little landscaping on the site. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Would not stay ever again! Found out that they are using cameras in their rest rooms. (Local NBC news station reported this).

Very nice facility with great views. I was on an end site but the interior sites would be view restricted. Easy in and out and adequate room for my 65 foot triple tow rig. But the park was almost empty so I'm sure getting around would be a lot more difficult in busier times. Staff friendly and helpful, good walk area. Everything clean and orderly. Owners in the process of leveling up some sites. I had no problems with mine. WiFi OK but somewhat slow We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice park with an exceptionally good location on a hill overlooking Santa Fe. Price is the weekly rate. The park is well maintained. Sites are not large but are adequate. There are no trees so our satellite TV worked well. Most need leveling. Some have nice concrete patios. A few sites, like ours, did not have room for a picnic table. The building housing the recreation room, laundry, office and restrooms is one of the nicest we have seen. Bathrooms are quite large and very clean. The laundry machines were $2.00 each and some of my laundry needed two cycles to dry. It is quite an uphill walk to the dumpsters. The WiFi was free and excellent. The park is away from the highway so highway noise was minimal. We would give this park a 10 if it had Cable TV, the laundry was less expensive and if there were convenient trash receptacles. We would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

When we drove in, I was a little worried as it looked somewhat rustic. However, I really liked this park! It is on a hill but has level sites. We had a patio site which was almost perfect. We were not towing and Enterprise car rental was close by to get a car! Restrooms were spotless ALL day! They gave us their weekly newsletter of what was happening in the area, what to see, and where they like to eat! This place was great! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We go to this campground every summer and some winters on the way to Mexico. A privately family owned campground. They are very friendly and go way out of their way to help. We mostly like that there are not a lot of extra services, although they do have a great place for rally/groups to congregate. A great place to stay with beautiful views. 2 negatives are the laundry services are $2/load-seems high and they are not very strict about the dog rules, but on the flip side they are very pet friendly and have a wonderful dog/people path around the entire campground.

It's an okay campground. No real trees or shade. Gravel sites and roads, typical small width sites. Wifi was great, people were very nice. But this place is small and on a hill near a residential area. So its quiet, but not really close to much. It makes a great overnight stay. Site was not level, and from what I could see, most sites were not. But nothing a leveler or block of wood cold not solve. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A little pricey for what is available, but most everything around Santa Fe is. Very friendly staff. Beautiful views. Close enough to I-25 to be convenient, but far enough to be very quiet. We liked it (and Santa Fe) well enough that we stayed 7 days. VERY high winds 4 days/nights so everything was very dusty; but that is not fault of CG.

Excellent access to I-25 and a beautiful view of Santa Fe and the surrounding mountains. The main building is just outstanding with the cleanest and largest rest rooms/showers that I have seen in 30 years of RVing. Very friendly staff: thank you. However, the sites are just not laid out well, the landscaping leaves a lot to be desired, and as to the "weed" mentioned in other reviews, I must agree. It leaves the entire park very unattractive, even with the lovely main building and entrance. Much more work needs to be done to make the rig sites more attractive and inviting. Keep at it SF Skies and it will only get better for you. WiFi was excellent where I had my rig, in front of the main building. We will return and hope they have improved the camping sites, please.

As stated in other reviews, this is not a fancy resort park, but gravel and dirt with native plants that are not manicured. It's the desert, so you can't really expect green grass and trees. Beautiful views and not a "parking lot" feel like at many RV parks. We'd stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

At first sight, this park might not look like much, but my family has really enjoyed staying here. The views around the park are really nice - mountains in the distance in most directions and the sunset and sunrise here is beautiful. Of course every site may not have the best views, but you can walk around the park on a trail and enjoy the scenery. We stayed here two years ago and things have changed - they are building small homes/apartments around it, but they are tastefully done and look nice. The best thing to me - especially after staying at another park off the interstate - is the silence. You do not hear any traffic noise and the views at night are also gorgeous. The sites can be unlevel and there is no pavement, but it's a nice park overall. Plus, the location is good. My family has added this to our "to do again" list and we hope to continue to visit in future years as our boys grow up. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nothing fancy here, but it is clean and access is easy. For the price, they really should have cable TV. Not really out in the country anymore, they are building apartments next door and I suspect in the very near future the other side of the park will be built up too. Gas station nearby is convenient. Free wifi and pay wifi. Free wifi was weak, I needed a booster antenna in my RV and I was right next to the office. You can sit in the laundry room and get a strong signal, it's always open.

This park is way over rated and expensive. we arrived the day the Balloon Fest ended however, they would not allow Good Sam discounts due to the balloon fest. They also claimed they had over runs due to bad weather. There were empty spaces all three days. WiFi did not work and office was not much help. Sites contained litter from previous campers. The campground rep on arrival day was not very cooperative or helpful. I will dry camp before going here. Good Sam should remove them from their ratings.

We stayed in this campground prior to going to Albuquerque for the Balloon Fiesta. This park was in an excellent location where it is outside the town but close to everything. Free wireless internet was available at the office area but not at the campsites. The sites were clean, fairly level and plenty of room. For groups traveling it had a nice recreation/meeting room and kitchen available. The showers and restrooms were probably the best we seen in a five week trip from Florida to the Balloon Festival. Very nice office staff, they can give you some good tips on things to do, see and where to eat. Would go back there in a heartbeat if I am in that area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I really liked this campground. It is about 10 miles or less from Santa Fe, just took a few minutes to get to old downtown area. This park is out in the country, although it looks like there is a lot of building-up going on in the nearby areas. Great views all around of mountains; great stars at night (not lots of artificial light on); very nice staff (family-owned and run); very quiet. Not particularly "fancy", not a "resort" type campground, but had everything we needed, plenty of room between sites, easy to get in and out of, and felt very safe.

This park is completely overgrown with weeds and very poorly maintained. When I read the other reviews, I really didn't understand how bad the weeds were. The tumbleweeds at our site were knee-high or taller and all over. Yes, they are native to the area. Whopee. We couldn't even walk around the rig. We got in late and had to setup in the dark and that it made it worse. Trees also need trimming and made it difficult to park. In the morning, we saw the trash left over from the last campers. No picnic table. The roads are also rutted and we lost a few dishes when we came in. Unless you get a pull-through, you're in the back-in slums. The sites looked like they hadn't been maintained in years. The only saving grace is the staff is friendly, it's close to downtown and has good highway acess or our rating would be a zero. No WiFi unless you were in the staff building. Good phone signal. We would not stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We liked the location of this park, just outside of Santa Fe. It is on a ridge and provides nice views of the New Mexico mountains. It seems to cater to big rigs. The flora and fauna are typical for the region and may not be everyone's cup of tea. The park owners were working diligently on clearing weeds and planting flowers which helps the appearance. This is the first campground we have encountered that does not have any rules. They simply ask that people act like responsible adults. That's a new concept! We would stay here again.

Campground was adequate. Grass was very tall and campsites unkept. Wifi was so weak it could not be used. My site had a large hole next to it which looked like a water or sewer line problem. They set a broken picnic table over it so camper could see it and not fall in. Charged me for full hookups even though only had water and electric. Questioned them about this and was told all back in sites are the same rate no matter what hookups were there...non negotiable. I will never stay here again. Wal-Mart parking lot would be better.

This park is okay for an overnight or longer but severely lacks maintenance of its landscaping. Grass/weeds are several feet tall; so tall that the original plantings are visually lost and fighting for their lives. To say this is natural NM environment is to insult mother nature; look around NM you'll not see anything like this in the open. The main building is a nice architectural rendering of NM style but like the landscaping it is lost to any functionality and has been seemingly abandoned except for check in. I'm referring here to open areas and patios on what I guess is back side. This could be a top park with some work but it isn't now. Sorry Woodall's this is NOT a 5/5. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We liked that the park was on the outskirts of Santa Fe and very near I25. It was nice and quiet at night with beautiful starry skies and sunsets. The power and water were good and we liked the natural landscaping with plants from the area. It was very clean, the sites were a little uneven but no problem. The WIFI signal was good but the speed was so slow a snail is faster!

We agree with other reviews that this park is somewhat overpriced. Most sites appeared to be occupied by temperary residents rather than long termers. Our site was somewhat unlevel, but that problem was easily resolved by moving our 5th wheel forward prior to setting up. Grass in dog walk has burrs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is the 3rd time I've stayed at the park. I have seen some improvement It would probably be the best park in the area but it is not pretty. As mentioned by another reviewer the weeds have taken over. The landscaping is non-existent. The office/club house has a bare concrete floor. The roads and pads are gravel and not very level. The entry gate is very narrow. Be careful pulling in. If the roads were paved and the landscaping upgraded it would go a long way to making this a 9 or 10 park. I was there the week before the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta - thus the park was full. I will stay here again when in the area but hope the visuals improve. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We spent one night at this park while passing through. The views are nice, as previous posts have mentioned. The park is gravel, with little grass, and even less shade. The sites are a bit un-level. When I leveled my fiver, the front end was too low to even think about using my kingpin brace. The local broadcast television stations were OK as far as reception goes. The folks up front were helpful and courteous. They provided us with a map of the area, and some restaurant recommendations. My wife commented that the restrooms were the cleanest she had ever seen. Beware of the wind. When we returned from an afternoon in Santa Fe the folks at the site in front of us were trying to get their awning unwrapped from around the top of their rig. The wind had made a wreck of it. However, I don't think the folks at the campground have power over the wind. (I could be wrong on this) We plan on stopping at a different park on the way back through. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I was confused reading the extremes of the previous ratings but decided to try it anyway. If you are looking for palm tree lined streets and concrete pads with grass in between, then you won't like this park. If, however, you realize that you are in the high desert and that's the landscape you'll get, you will be happy. This is a prefectly good park, if only a bit overpriced. A good place to visit the Santa Fe area and it does have good views of the surrounding valley and mountain ranges. It can be hot and dusty during the summer days, but the evenings are cool. I wouldn't hesitate to stop here again and couldn't think of a reason not to use the park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We also, were concerned about previous reviews of this park, but decided to try it and am so happy we did. We can't believe we're in the same park as past negative reviews. It's a wonderful park that is close to the interstate, but far enough away to see it in the distance and not hear it. Our site was easy to level. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Yes, it's gravel, but most of the parks we stay at are too. Maneuvering around roads was no problem and we're in a 40 foot motorhome with a tow. View is wonderful, mountains all around. Landscaping is natural xeroscape that lets you blend into the natural New Mexico greenery. To landscape with grass and plants would make the park look so unnatural. We can't wait to get back here again when we can spend more time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

In reading some of the 'extreme' negative posts about this park, I can only assume they are being generated by the 'competition' in Santa Fe. I have been visiting this park since they began constuction and considering this is a build as you go project - feel they are progressing nicely. Park and facilities are clean and well maintained. Big Rigs can navigate the roads without difficulty. As far as complaints about the wind, one will need to talk to a power far higher than the park management to get anything done on that front.

The wide range of reviews were a concern to us. However, we decided to give it a shot. Here is what we found. The ownership was extremely friendly and accommodating. The owner's son stayed after hours one evening to enable me to check e-mail in their office. On our final day, my family went skiing at Santa Fe Ski area and they allowed to check out at approx. 7 PM without charging us. The location has little protection from wind and sun, but the star gazing was wonderful. The bathrooms are probably the cleanest public facilities I have ever seen.

The sites are gravel and not level. When you step out your door it's into sticker weeds. There is no shade and you can't really use your awning because of the constant wind/breeze. The roads except the main road are gravel so there is plenty of dust. The restrooms are clean but not air conditioned. The laundry is small and also not air conditioned. Teenagers work the front desk and are basically uninterested in you as a customer talking to their friends on the phone while trying to wait on you. The park is pet friendly but there is nothing for kids to do since there isn't a pool or
playground. The park in town has trees, grass, shade and a pool so we'll stay there next time. The construction on Cerrillos Rd is over so you can now access this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Reading two of the reports prompts us to add our opinion. We preface this to say
that we are a fulltime RV couple who have stayed at Santa Fe Skies three times in the last few years; we stop there every time we are near the area. For us, this rates as one of the better parks we have encountered. Why? One: It is the best RV park in the region . . . no comparison. Two: Location - though Santa Fe has vastly changed, the region is rich in history, art and culture, hiking, sightseeing, and lots more. Recommend that people get out and explore. Three: Well run and managed with friendly, helpful on-site owner family. Four: Walking trail around perimeter of park with native plants, shrubs, and grasses, this is an eco-friendly park. Five: Sweeping views all around, mountains in the distance, and Santa Fe Skies lives up to its name. 1) Yes, park does have gravel roads; we had no problem leveling. I will always opt for this natural setting above a park with side by side sites on concrete or asphalt. 2) Dust, you're in Santa Fe! Depending on the time of year, Western winds blow, dust is picked up. This park blends into its surroundings. 3) Pool, Santa Fe has faced extreme drought conditions. There have been heavy restrictions on new construction, water use, and grass sodding. You do not see showcase watered lawns in this area. Just felt that a few of the previous ratings were inaccurate and unfair . We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate paid is based on a one week stay. Excellent location close to all that Santa Fe offers. Park is on a busy street, so there is a lot of road noise. We had one of the premium back-in sites at the back of the park so it was quieter. These sites also back up to a wide band of grass and trees, very pleasant. All sites have a picnic table and are pretty close together. The RV park allows people 21 and up only, and is attached to a 55+ mobile home park. The parks wi-fi was decent. On-site laundry is small, but inexpensive. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I would give higher rating if th price were a bit lower. Level gravel sites on the main street with any store you might desire nearby. Lots of shade trees. No pool or spa. Clean showers, though each stall is small. Off-leash dog area at the far end of the park past the 55+ manufactured home retirement section. Friendly office staff. The park is well maintained. We would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Well maintained park that has spacious sites. Someone here has a sense of humor: "Please Pitch Pet Poo Properly." Robust recycling program: comingled steel & aluminum cans, paper, plastic bottles, cardboard, separate container for glass.

The previous reviewers who talked about the concrete pads, were talking about the big rig pads (class A rigs), not the typical places for travel trailers or fifth wheels. There were a lot of long-term residents here (since it is open all year?). This park is right on the busiest street of Santa Fe (Cerrillos Road) so there is a traffic noise problem if you are trying to sleep before ten PM or after seven AM. The owner is very friendly and helped us get to our pull-through site (#6). The dog park leaves a lot to be desired as it is full of cactus and is really just out back in the boonies. Not much room for dogs to play, just sniff around off the leash. The front dog walk is not much to see but he does provide you with waste bags at both locations. It is an adult park (55+), so there are no kids riding bikes in and around your site, which makes up for a couple of the other things I mentioned. If it weren't for the street noise, I'd give it a ten. It is well-maintained and there are some apartment rentals on site, too so it must be a popular spot to stay. He also owns a mobile home park in back and it is very nice and well maintained, too. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here for a week while we toured Santa Fe and the surrounding area. The hosts are very nice, and gave us lots of ideas of things to do and places to go, including the farmer's market where we scored excellent cheese, veggies, and meat. The park is very well maintained, and the showers are excellent -- hot and clean. Although it is on a busy street, the adobe wall provides noise buffering. Nice dog park in the back, and a good pet exercise area at the front of the park. We couldn't be happier with the park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Clean, well-managed. Friendly staff. Nice landscaping. Adobe wall helps as sound barrier for city street traffic. Fine for big rigs. Several square-corner, but wide, back-in sites, not angled. Only about 9 pull throughs and, in most cases, the RV fills the length, but there is sufficient room between sites to park the tow vehicle or toad. Many mature trees, but they do not interfere with maneuverability. “Marriage saver” assistance getting into sites. Bathrooms are very clean. Good free cable and Wi-Fi. City bus stops in front of RV park and takes 30 minutes to arrive at the Plaza downtown (one dollar for an all-day pass for seniors). Within 5 or 10 minutes of Albertson’s and Smith’s supermarkets, Target, Walmart, Home Depot, and other shopping. Forty-minute drive by personal vehicle to Los Alamos and 45 minutes to Bandelier National Monument; both must-see sites--plan a half-day for each. We strongly recommend this RV park and it seems occupied most of the time, so reservations are recommended. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

An excellent park; clean, quiet, very convenient to everything in Santa Fe, friendly people, pet friendly. Prices are a little steep but worth it for the convenience to town, as other sites are 10 miles outside of the city. The only reason I didn't score it a 10 is that the Wi-Fi at our location was problematic, cutting in and out at inopportune times. We'll definitely stay there again when in Santa Fe.

Nice club house by pool. Fires not allowed at sites, but very nice grill at pool. Sites are gravel and a bit close, but I expect this for an in-town park in a destination city.

This park is advertised as Santa Fe's Enchanting RV Resort. However, it is not enchanting to have your neighbor's sewer connection within 3 feet of your picnic table. The hookup for water is located in a pit below ground level which is hard to reach and harder to get connected. You have to get on your knees to reach. Sites are extremely close. There is no room to sit outside. Restrooms are clean and Wi-Fi is fast. Due to the cramped sites, we will not return. Also too expensive for what you get. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We loved this park. We originally booked one week then extended it to two. We were in site T-6 and I would not want to be any closer to the road because of the noise. The noise diminished in the evenings but it was not a problem for us even during the day. We had two wonderful weeks without any dogs barking in the campground or next to us. That was such a relief after some of the inconsiderate pet owners we have encountered in other parks. People were polite and considerate of each other. The facilities were clean and neat and the laundry prices were reasonable. The cable was adequate although I would have liked a bigger selection. The Wi-Fi was adequate and I experienced few problems. The location makes it easy to drive into the Plaza or take a bus which stops right in front of the campground. We did not use the pool but it looked nice and well kept. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A decent park for your Santa Fe adventures. Just to be very very clear about this park's pet "friendliness" status. This is not a park where dogs would enjoy. They are not allowed on any grass, whatsoever and so you are left to walk only on the asphalt. The "pet area" is dusty and dirty. The off leash section is riddled with cactus and even more dirt. My poor dog had over 200 quills stuck in her legs, chest and paws. The staff apologized and said they would put up a warning sign on the outside of the pen (at my request) to at least warn others dog owners of the danger. I understand some dogs are used to cactus, but my east coast girls were not. No one I spoke with felt comfortable using the park for their dogs either. This park is beautifully maintained, the staff was OK, the pool was clean. Laundry was $1.00; they only have 2 washers and two dryers, but they offer great big outside dry lines complete with close pins. This is the nicest RV park in Santa Fe - 4 miles from downtown. We did find a very nice, open, unfenced off leash dog park (Frank Ortiz Off Leash Dog Park) that was 5 miles away that offered excellent views of Santa Fe and good spot to hike, walk or jog with or without your dog in a friendly, off leash enviroment. The sites with grass are very very tight. Save your money and get a standard site that is wider and still has shade. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is very well located for sightseeing and shopping in Santa Fe. It is a 55+ park with permanent trailers in the back of the park. Very friendly and helpful staff. They backed us into our spot which has a concrete pad, picnic table and a nice shade tree. We paid extra for the premium lot. the 30 amp lots are smaller and rather tight. This is a Good Sam rate. We loved this park. The laundry cost only $1 per load. It's an older very well maintained park. Be aware that you must arrive by no later than 5:30 or you won't be accommodated. The Wi-Fi worked great and the cable was fine. We had planned on staying only two nights, but a wind advisory was given while we were in town and they graciously allowed us to stay another night even though we had already told them that we would be leaving and they could reserve our site for the next guest. We'd stay here again for sure. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Varying price levels. When you make a reservation (and you should), don't let them sweet talk you into the more expensive sites unless you want that. Otherwise, this is a convenient place to tour town, especially via the city bus to the Plaza. Rental cars companies are nearby too. Most sites here are without shade and subject to traffic noise. Short cable TV list , Wi-Fi ok. Bathrooms clean but very small shower stalls. We'll look elsewhere next time for more value. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were a bit hesitant to stay in a 55+ park at first, but decided to try it. The manager, assigned us to the "honeymoon suite" and heaped all kind of useful information about getting around Santa Fe, good places to see and eat. She made us feel immediately welcomed. The park is very well situated for accessing Santa Fe and it surrounds. You won't be able to walk to the center of town, but public transportation is available. Cerrillos is a busy street so if you're a light sleeper you'll want a spot away from the road. Overall, we had a wonderful time and plan to return in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Attractive adobe walled campground located in town. Layout is appealing with front area devoted to short term camping. Attractive office area stocked with area information. Some sites are drive through and others back in. Sites have concrete patios and picnic tables. Driveways are level with gravel surfaces. Free cable worked but occasionally the picture was marred by some sort of interference. Wi-Fi, also free, and worked well. The man in the office went out of his way to be helpful making a special information call to me, and carefully telling me about sites to see in Santa Fe. Very cordial and professional. We paid about $27 with Good Sam discount. We loved the adobe wall running around the campground. It made it feel very private.

This was not a good park for us, for a number of reasons. Because we have an Airstream trailer, and not a Class A motor coach, we were put in one of the worst sites. We requested to move to a larger, shadier site, but were told those were "reserved" for larger rigs. We have a dog, and while pets are allowed here, there is not much room for walking a dog, and pets are not allowed on the grassy areas (of which there are few). On the plus side, it is an easy walk to a number of restaurants, stores, Starbucks, and a bakery. It's also on the bus line, but we typically don't use buses, and didn't during this stay. We usually stay at another park, but decided to try this one because it is closer to town. We probably would not stay here at Trailer Ranch again, unless we felt strongly that we wanted to be very close to shops and restaurants. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is an attractive park with lots of shade. Our reservation was for a 33' wide back in space. We were put in a 23' wide space and parked under the direction of a park worker. Sometime later, after jacks down, slides out and everything hooked up, we were asked to move the rig over 6" so our neighbor would have room to park his car. The neighbor already had plenty of room for his car. The park does not have a "make good" policy which could be used to compensate for these kinds of situations. We camped here in a Motorhome.

They have about 10 sites where there is a little room. Road noise is significant, you hear it all night/day long. Staff and fellow Rv'ers were outstanding with offers of help & money.

This is a lovely park, and an easy drive to the Plaza area - there is also a city bus stop right in front. If you need to do shopping or run errands, everything is nearby. It is very clean and well run. The people in charge are friendly and efficient. I think the sites near the front would be noisy, but we were further back and had little noise. Although the attached Mobile Home park is 55+, the RV park is not, but they do not allow children. My only complaint is the Wi-Fi. I think if parks say they have Wi-Fi, they should have good W-Fi.

We were immediately greeted by an exceptionally friendly owner who gave us lots of good tips on Santa Fe and even helped us park our trailer. (Nice for me because that's usually my job). We felt very welcome and loved the location of the park (about 10 min from the Plaza) and minutes from all the necessities. The bathrooms were spotless with plenty of hot water and very tastefully tiled. I can see why people refer to it as a "vintage" park. We had a nice site away from the road and we walked our dog to the park's dog park every day so he could run free. This was a wonderful amenity. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location in town, easy to walk to stores, etc. and take bus to Plaza, but you'll get road noise too. Small, family-owned park, usually well-kept. Have stayed here about 5x but happiness can depend on your site and busy season. This time we got banished to a tight back-in, stupid neighbor parked his truck into our patio. But we'll be back next year anyway, hoping for a better site. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We squeezed in a reservation here during the balloon festival, after a certain park in Albuquerque totally botched our long-standing reservation. This turned out to be a huge improvement to our stay in New Mexico. We concur with the super positive reviews seen here. Kudos to Trailer Ranch! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park. We stayed 4 nights and had a wonderful site. There are lots of shade trees and also nice grassy areas near most sites where you can sit and read and relax. The people that run the office were very friendly and helpful. The lady that worked the office provided us with very good information about Santa Fe. We would definitely stay here again if we come to the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

OK vintage park with nice people. Great location, close to town, skiing and fabulous art. Tricky to get into with car and RV-major street. Close walk to food, shopping. 1/2 of sites are very crowded, had a 5th wheel slide way onto our patio, others nice. Lots of trees and good place to walk or read. Laundry is old, cold, dark and outdated, not enough machines. Rest is well-maintained. 3rd stay because of trees and location. Bit expensive for the amenities. Open in winter but may not have water available-too cold. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were lucky to get back in site but had to move to another site (pull thru) the next day. This is a charming park with great owners, very helpful. They walk -direct you to your site and help you park. Wanted to stay longer but they were booked full. Would recommend this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Really nice older park but extremely well cared for. It is obvious the town has grown up around this park and it is located off a busy street but with the large front walls and lots of mature trees. It feels more like a hidden oasis that is close to shopping, restaurants, etc. They have a city bus stop right in front and it makes getting to the historic downtown a breeze. Their premium ‘Big Rig’ sites are actually large back-ins with wide (and level) concrete pads. Very helpful staff. Not sure what the person’s problem is that rated this park a 3 but it is pretty obvious from reading his other reviews that nothing makes him happy. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We really enjoyed this park. Although we stayed only because we had truck issues and had to have work done (it took a week with warranty clearance) so we were "stuck" here. We found it to be a delightful place, with very nice workampers, a nice laundry room near the office (guess there are actually two laundry areas), with connecting bathroom/showers. Gravel lots, not tons of grass, and lots of big rigs (we had a 30 foot travel trailer and felt like dwarfs to the diesel pushers), and I assume some longtermers too. Allows pets but one needs to be a responsible pet owner (and that should ALWAYS be the case) and there are many dog walkers daily in the park. Nice looking pool in a gated area and a small community center nearby. All in all, excellent experience. Stores (big box and strips mainly) within walking distance, on a bus route so easy access to places along the way on down to the plaza area. We walked all over and enjoyed the walks. Restaurants very near by too. Would highly recommend this place to anyone, but mostly people over 55. It is a 55 and older park, with a trailer (mobile home) park behind the RV area. Adobe fenced area in front hides the park. Privacy. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Staff very friendly and helpful. The overnight slots for our unit were very small and so close together when you used the picnic table you were next to the sewer of your neighbor. Parking for the car was very tight. Since we always clean up after our pets, we found it less than desirable that the pets had nothing but sand, blacktop and rocks to do their chores. You can not let your pet on any grassy area. The park is in a very good location and near public transportation to the downtown area which we found very useful. We will try a different park on our next trip to Santa Fe. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Don't know who reviewed this park, but it must be the owner or some relative. Sitting here we can hear the cars thumping on the Cerrillos Rd. Very loud, have people walking through our site, even though we asked, and it is NOT satellite friendly. Way too expensive for what they offer. People are very friendly, but doesn't make up for the fact that the noise level is very bad, and the bathroom needs attention, 2 of the toilets in the women's latrine do not flush. We will have to stay here for 2 more days, AARGH!!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We went by other reviews to choose this park because of its close proximity to downtown. We were not disappointed. The park is very nice and the owner was very helpful. It is a small park, but does have a pool, laundry, good wi-fi and lots of shade trees. The best part is the bus stop right outside the park, which takes you downtown and there are no traffic hassles. Seniors are $1.00/day for an all day pass. There are also lots of stores within walking distance. We would certainly camp here again if ever in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a nice, shady, secluded site in the back of the campground which was much quieter than sites located next to the highway. As others have stated, the bus stop is next to the campground which makes it very convenient for no parking hassle when visiting downtown. Shopping mall is close to the campground as well as grocery stores and gas stations. The rate reflects Good Sam discount and 1 free day with a week's stay. We will stay here whenever in Santa Fe. Make your reservations ahead of time as the park was full for most of our stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a fine little park. Friendly staff, very informative and helpful. It is a bit tight, but about the same as most parks as far as closeness to ones neighbor. It is fairly quiet, just a little road noise from the front, and we were camped near the front so the back is most likely even quieter. The surroundings are not the best, kind of an in-between neighborhood. The "cable" channels are dish and sparse, just the basics but the Wi-Fi is passable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It's close to bus stop to travel historical downtown area. There are a lot of trees. Sites are very close to each other & among the permanent residences. The short dirt section along the wall is what they call dog walk. It's next to a busy highway. You're sewer is right next to the patio of your neighbor. The staff is friendly.

Nice campground. Since it is in the middle of Santa Fe, it has no view to speak of. We are careful, responsible pet owners and found their "no pets on the grass" policy to be so irritating that we probably won't stay here again. The dog walk at the front of the park is a poor little narrow patch of dirt. Our campsite was shady, cool, and grassy, and our little dog was not allowed to sit outside with us in the evening. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have stayed here several times in spite of the relatively high price and have always thought it well worth it. We love the convenience of the location for most Santa Fe attractions and it is hard to find fault with the park or it's management. No problems with services, including excellent Wi-Fi, cable TV, and bus service! Many good restaurants are within walking distance. The park is quiet, secure and convenient - just make sure you check in before their specified time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The price reflects base price, plus taxes minus Good Sam discount. This is the most expensive park on our 5 1/2 month tour but we felt it was worth it for a number of reasons. The cement pad we had is close to level which made setting up easy. There is gravel, not dirt and leaves all around, which helped keep the rig clean. WiFi connection was excellent and cable TV was excellent. We travel without dogs and the large enclosed off-leash play area is great for them to run off their energy. One sniff near a cactus and they knew to avoid them. If you are 60 or over, you can ride the public transportation bus all over for a $1 per day with the bus stopping right outside the park entrance. This bus takes you downtown etc. If you have a car we found it easy to drive into downtown where there are several public parking garages or lots where all day parking is $9. The only exception was the La Fonda garage which was more. We used Trailer Ranch as a base to tour downtown, and head to Estrella Vineyards. If we had the time, we would have continued onto Taos. Not to far from the park there are 2 grocery stores and other stores. I used the laundry room twice and facilities were clean, but bring plenty of quarters. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate is before any discounts and doesn't include 15% tax. Park is a little dated and sites are mixed in with a few mobile homes, but it's well-maintained and everything is functional. Almost all sites are shaded. They are rather narrow and tight when cars are parked between rigs, but are not side-by-side hookups. The showers were small and tight but clean with plenty of hot water. The park's main attraction is its easy access to downtown via inexpensive bus service with a stop right at the park's entrance. Also, there is plenty of local shopping in the immediate vicinity. We would stay here again if we wanted access to downtown Santa Fe, which is a great place. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is great. The staff provides you with a wealth of info on check in. The sites are spacious and shaded. This is a 55 and over park. However, if you are pushing 55 from a ways away, you can probably get a site. A reservation is a good idea. If they ask if you are 55, say yes. The forward area of the park is for travelers. There is a separate section in the back for permanent residents. You may walk your pet throughout the park, and there is a fenced half acre in the far back of the park where your pet can run off leash. Watch out for cacti. I did not use the facilities, but I would bet that they are excellent. The city bus stops right outside the park. If you visit the Town Plaza, it’s art galleries, museums, and churches, take the bus, do not drive. Down town parking is limited and traffic is heavy. I did both. The bus is no stress, on time, and comfortable. For fellow health enthusiasts, there is a Trader Joes and a Whole Foods on the bus route. Less than two miles from the park is a community health club/gym. The daily fee is $5, seniors $3. You have never seen swimming facilities like these. If you go there from the park, from Rodeo Street turn left onto Richards and follow this horseshoe street to the center. Rodeo has no left turn into the center. There is another RV park in the immediate area. I did a drive through. It made me very happy that I stayed at Trailer Ranch. For the Park itself and for it’s access to public transportation, it is the "go to", stay at place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is very convenient place to stay in Santa Fe, but the very urban nature also creates problems. If you get one of the nicer big rig sites on the far north side, you're in good shape. Other sites are along the Cerrillos wall with very LOUD traffic noise, or in the middle pull through area, which gets all the in and out park traffic, plus some wrong side hookups. E box was on the wrong (R) side; sewer was on the L but too far away to use. Water faucet was under a metal lid, with no room to connect a filter, just the hose. Cable TV worked fine, air card, cell and Wi-Fi strong. Bathroom in good condition but only 2 washer & dryers. Owners and work-campers do a good job, very helpful. Best place to stay in town tho pricey for what's here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great place to stay in Santa Fe. This is an older RV park, but well maintained. The staff/managers lead you to your site and assist you in backing into your site if you have a back-in pad. We had the assistance of the female manager and she provided some of the best instructions I have received in 14 years of full-timing. The laundry was fairly small (2 washers and 3 dryers) for a campground of this size. The managers were friendly and helpful in providing local references and guidance to restaurants and attractions. The cable TV was clear and had an adequate number of channels. The bus to the downtown plaza picks you up and drops you off right in front of the park. The locals that ride the bus provide an interesting and colorful experience. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great place to stay in Santa Fe. It's a very quiet park since it is a 55+ community. The staff is VERY helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Only 4 miles from downtown Santa Fe with great bus service right in front of the property. (Tip 1) Take the bus for only $1 and save yourself the hassle of trying to park downtown. Lots of shopping and native art downtown and around the plaza; several very good museums also within walking distance downtown. (Tip 2) Museums are free from 5-8PM on Friday’s. This is an urban RV park that blends in very well; you hardly know that you are right in town. Spaces in the front will get some street noise, sites in the back not so much. We stayed in a back-in towards the rear of the RV park. Sites are well spaced from your neighbor with extra parking for a toad or TV. Well maintained and clean facilities throughout the park. The staff escorts you to your space and helps direct as you back in; they are good at it. WiFi work well with a good signal for our 3 days. Would definitely stay here again when in the area.

This was one of the better urban parks we've encountered. We enjoyed our stay very much, in large part because of the friendly owners who work very hard to maintain their park and to accommodate their customers, many of whom are repeat customers. It's usually full so be sure and make reservations. It's a very convenient place to stay when visiting Santa Fe, with a short drive to the old town and the attractions there. There are also many stores and restaurants very near the park. There are enough trees to provide some shade and ambiance and the park is nicely landscaped. We were not bothered by traffic noise on Cerillos Road because our site was not near the road. Although we did not use it, the pool was heated and looked very clean. Some interior roads are very narrow and the pull-through spaces, although adequate for our 5th wheel, are not long enough for large motorhomes. Those are placed in larger back-in sites with a wider road for maneuvering. We would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

NOTICE: If everyone in your party is not 55+ years old, you CANNOT stay at this park. After we parked the RV for check in, I was immediately intercepted by a lady working in the yard. Before I could make it to the office, she informed me that this park was only for individuals over the age of 55+. I did not realize parks could discriminate on age, but apparently they can. The park description should be updated to reflect this! Luckily, the lady referred us to a nice park just down the street (Los Campos de Santa Fe RV Park). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I am laughing reading the post here about folks that are under the age of 55! It is absolutely true! We stayed at the Trailer Ranch RV Park once in our many visits to Santa Fe and will never go there again. Yes, the park is clean, well kept, and in a lovely shaded area, however the owners immediately advised us that our dogs were to be absolutely quiet while we were here - or else! And let me tell you, they were not lying. We were given a space right next to the restrooms where people walked back and forth all day past our RV. Our two wiener dogs were on the alert protecting our RV while we were gone for a few hours that day and apparently barked at people. The owner told us they were going to "kick us out" because of our dogs. We left not long after that and will never go there again. Rules are one thing, but this RV Park was unreal. I cannot even imagine how they must treat children. Dogs bark: that is generally one of the things they do best actually. The owners here need to lighten up. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here in a Fifth Wheel and found the park very clean, shady & convenient to sight-seeing. The problem is they are not very dog friendly because DO NOT ever let your dog near the grassy area's. I made the mistake of letting mine too close & unfortuneatly my dog went on the grass and "manager/owner" screamed at me like I was a child even though I cleaned up the mess. The pool also is a protected zone since it was never left uncovered so I never bothered to ask to use it. The women in the office were very nice but the men need to learn a little finese!

Very popular, neat little old RV park with great location in town. Easy walk to movies, food, stores and right on the bus line to downtown and the Plaza. Nice shade trees that also leave lots of leaves and bird droppings on your roof. Workampers were very friendly and kept bathrooms clean. Too bad the laundry room only has 2 washers and dryers; a serious shortage. Good cable TV, well water, level sites on gravel. Back-ins cheaper; pull-through sites available. Try not to get parked on Cerillios Rd. side. Small "seasonal" swim pool was covered up. Why do parks charge the same when pool can't be used?! Free Wi-Fi but VZ aircard works fine.

We checked in here with some hesitation, having read other reviews on this website; and are writing this to refute perceptions written by others. Upon check in, we met the man who runs the campground along with his wife. He was direct and to the point, noticing that we had dogs along, indicating that they were very welcome as long as they didn't cause any problems for other campers, and went so far as to recommend to us that we turn on the air conditioner and leave the TV on if necessary to ensure that they'd be comfortable and quiet. One could be put off by that, but instead I was reassured; he realized that dogs had needs, too, and while he wanted us to enjoy the sights, he wanted all his other guests to be happy too. If I'm back in the area, I'll definitely stay here again. By the way, while my husband and I are close to 55, neither of us are, and it wasn't an issue. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is right on Rt. 66, behind adobe walls, and there is a lot of traffic noise at all times. The sites are generally very tight. We got lucky and were assigned a site near a small pump building, right inside the entrance. We had no one near us, and a nice patio with table under a tree. The park is well maintained, has a good laundry, and -- its big selling point -- is on the bus line to Santa Fe, which is very convenient.

This park is mostly for full time residents but this is not a problem here. Permanent residents are separated from overnighters and are quiet. The large Cottonwood trees provide decent shade. The leaves were just beginning to bud during our stay. Paid staff was friendly enough, but lacked the personal touch provided by owner managers, although this is not always a bad thing. No supply or gift shop. Cable TV was about average for RV parks, ie. fuzzy, but watchable. Free Wi-Fi service provided was above average. RV pads were concrete and very level. Not bad for an older park. Site is convenient to downtown Santa Fe, about 2 miles away. Our RV location was fairly close to busy Cerillos Street but still not noisy. We camped here in a Motorhome.

When we first got to this park, I would have given it a 5 at best. I was very disappointed because I read so many reviews that said how quiet it was and how wonderful it was. They must have been deaf. We got a site near the highway and the traffic noise was very annoying. When I asked to be moved, I was told that the traffic would get quieter at night (not really) and that they did not have any sites open (they did). I made my reservation in January, so I felt I should have had one of the better sites in the back. In addition, the people in the camper behind us were so close, their awning literally touched our slide. Having said all that, the staff was super nice, the place was spotless, so I had to give it a little higher than a 5. If you want a park that is right in town, this is the place for you.

Second time for us to use this park. We have business in Santa Fe every other year. The park was clean. Reservations flawless and their "marriage saver" assistance helping us back the trailer in was the best ever. I wish the lady who helped us could teach my wife and others. Her instructions were clear, concise, positive and she understood RV and the geometry to backing. Being a 55+ campground it was friendly and pet friendly. Convenient to where we need to be. We will most definitely be back in two years. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice park for seniors. Staff very friendly and helpful, level sites with concrete picnic table pad, excellent pool. Many sites are shaded, excellent WiFi, convenient city bus service to visit the historic down town area or to go shopping. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is a gem. Easy to find, easy to park, not crowded. Friendly family-like atmosphere, with owners on-site almost all the time. Very quiet & peaceful despite location on one of the main roads of Santa Fe. Clean, convenient in every way. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A nice park near downtown. A few RV spots in a trailer park, but nicely maintained. Most spaces are back-ins with concrete slabs. Access roads are wide and the staff assists in getting into your spot. Nice mature shade trees. Right on busy street, but a tall wall helps block the noise. Near shopping an on the city bus route. Seniors (55+) only and no tents are allowed. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were invited to a "Hobo Party" within the first five minutes of registering at this park. We met a lot of fun people who stay there often. Our site was near the clubhouse where we enjoyed a nightly serenade by some musicians who live at the park. We had a tree and grass, which wasn't available at other sites in the park. The park is on a bus line, which makes it easy to get around Santa Fe if you don't have a car. Because it's on a main street, the traffic can get a little noisy, so be sure to ask for a spot in the back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

My first 10. Great support from the owners, good knowledge of "what to do/see", juggling sites to allow me to add several days several times. And a small but important item - the trash dumpster seems like it is ALWAYS empty rather than CG's that seem to keep them at overflowing levels. Clearly will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you are looking for a clean well maintained place to visit Santa Fe look no farther. Easy access for large rigs with level sites. Great TV service and fast Wi-Fi. Very helpful and friendly people which only enhances your experience at this great 55+ park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

It was a clean and quiet campground right in Santa Fe--walking distance to restaurants and shopping and a bus stop to the Plaza right at the gate. The staff was very helpful and friendly--this was our first stop in our RV after picking it up, and they gave us a bottle of sparkling cider to celebrate. The wi-fi was excellent. The only down side for us was the rule about no dogs on the grass--the non-grass sites were too dirty for the dogs. We were there almost 2 weeks. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is nice. Staff (owners?) were very friendly and helpful. Our site was a nice size (30' wide) and easy to get into. Had escort to site. Lots of road noise from Cerrillos Rd. that is really busy. There are large, mature trees and landscaping in the campground it nice. Nicely kept property. WiFi was good at our site (T6). I did think the rate was a bit high even with AARP discount. But, would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice park. Quiet and clean. Nice pool area and clubhouse where you can exchange books. Wifi is slow and un-dependable in the afternoon. Staff is helpful and made some good recommendations on where to go and what to do. Like the idea of an adult only park. Much quieter. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park was a pleasant surprise. The managers were friendly and helped us park our trailer, which was no mean feat as the spaces are narrow. This would be our only complaint about the park. The showers and restrooms were spotless, recently renovated and blessedly well heated too! Even though the park is located on a very busy street we found it to be fairly quiet. With a bus stop right in front to take you to town, what's not to like? We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Well maintained older campground. We made reservations and we were glad we did. No vacancy sign was out our entire time (six days). Road was a little tight, but the parking assistance made that a breeze. Very accessible to all of Santa Fe. Remarkably quiet at night. Friendly folks all around! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Fairly nice park. In town, so I'm sure there were some limitations on what they could do as far as amenities. Paved roads and parking was on concrete pads. Limited foliage due to the region. Good location for touring the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park has its charms largely because the owners have done such a nice job at preserving the 1950's ambience of the park. Old but not deteriorated. Pleasant owners. However, the sites are very small and they offer Coach Connect for WiFi which has always been a problem for us throughout Texas and New Mexico. We would visit again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Trailer Ranch is one of the neatest, cleanest RV parks we have ever stayed in. The staff is one of the most friendly we have ever encountered. They were very helpful in everything from providing recommendations to restaurants, tour info, etc. It is an urban park on a very busy highway, but it is a main highway into Santa Fe from I-25. Very convenient to shopping and attractions. Wal-Mart, groceries, restaurants within a few blocks. Bus Stop right in front of the park in case you don't tow or do not want to drive. There are plenty of trees so shade is good, but satellite dish may not work. Cable TV is on every site though. There is also a "club house" with a library, game rooms and book exchange. It is very tight and the sites are small. They require a staffer to help you park. Wi-Fi (Coach Connect) worked great. We would absolutely stay here again! We really enjoyed it as our base for Santa Fe/Taos. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a clean senior 55+ park. Rear of park is for house trailers and fronr for RV units. Park is close to downtown (4 miles) and bus service in front of park. Wal-Mart and Home Depot very close by. Park has some age on it but is in good shape. Staff was nice and helpful at check in. No kids here! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We looked around Santa Fe and in our opinion this was the best RV park in the area.
Truman and Sandy were just great. They knew all the good spots around town and their knowledge of the area was very helpful to us. They make every effort to keep the campground clean and quiet. NOTE: The park is adult oriented. There is a fenced pet area in the back. This was one of the best campgrounds we have been to. It would make a fairly convenient spot to visit the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta because you would miss the traffic coming in from the north and also be able to visit Santa Fe. We look forward to staying there again. The owners made every effort to see our visit was pleasurable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A park employee was mowing grass near our coach, which caused a rock to shatter our kitchen window in our absence. Owner and I observed the scene and agreed that it was not vandalisim and that their employee must have done it during his duties, since the glass was struck from outside. Other campers witnessed the employee working around the coach and heard our dog bark from within at the time. We had the window repaired for $234. The owners refused to pay for the damage caused by the employee, insisting that our dog did the damage from the inside of the coach. The glass repair company states that the impact was from the outside of the coach and the interior screen was in pristine condition: that our dog did not do the damage. We want to recover our cost to repair and let folks know to be on the look out when at this park since the owners appear to not have any regard for people's property or take responsibility for their employee's actions. Please beware! We camped here in a camper.

Best RV Park in Santa Fe area. We stay here every time we go to Santa Fe (many times over several years). Geared for Adults. Convenient to city bus to the Santa Fe Plaza and shopping. Good paved roads, level sites, well maintained, lots of shade trees. Modem hook-up in recreation hall; best set up I've seen. Owners are friendly and accommodating. We camped here in a camper.
