About
State Park
Located just 8 miles northeast of Santa Fe, in New Mexico’s Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Hyde Memorial State Park is mountain getaway surrounded by pine forests and high peaks. The park sits alongside Little Tesuque Creek, at an elevation of 8,500 feet. This makes the area a little cooler than the city in the valley below, despite their proximity. The big summer draw to the area is access to the Pecos Wilderness and the many miles of hiking trails that roam deep into the mountainous backcountry, as well as plentiful bird and wildlife watching. In winter, though the campground is closed, visitors flock to the park’s snowy trails for sledding, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, or head a few more miles up the road to the slopes at the Ski Santa Fe resort.
The campground at Hyde Memorial State Park offers 57 drive-in campsites for tent and RV campers. A few sites provide electrical hookups, and can accommodate vehicles/trailers up to 50 feet. Campsites are equipped with picnic tables and fire rings. Water faucets and vault toilets are located throughout the park, and flush toilets are available at the visitor center; a dump station is located near the park entrance. The park also has three yurts to rent. Park visitors also have access to several picnic areas, a playground, volleyball court, and more than 4 miles of local hiking trails. Park naturalists also offer seasonal interpretive programs. Dogs are permitted, but must remain leashed. Most campsites are first-come, first-serve; rates are $10–$14/night

Worth $10 for primitive FCFS!
3 people, tiny camper, tent, dog. It has a table, grill and fire pit. 2 Vault toilets nearby. Spaced far enough to enjoy the space. Occasional road noise that died as the night came from mountain traffic. Lots of access to the MTN and trails. 25-30 min to the bottom @ Santa Fe. Stayed Sept 30 and Oct 1

Amazing place!!!!!
What a beautiful spot, close enough to Santa Fe to go in town if needed but remote enough to feel you’re alone. Great hiking, beautiful scenery, and friendly camp host. Our spot was a BIT tricky to get into so be aware if you’re not experienced backing uphill but our little teardrop is easy so no issues for us. Roomy campsite, private. Connects to hiking trail and stream.

Great park!
We stayed on site 24 with our small camper. We didn’t realize that site 24 basically shares a site with a FCFS site, but they were respectful neighbors.
The site was roomy and had a nice picnic table and shelter. My husband and I did notice a lot of road noise at night, as we tented and let our family sleep in the camper.
Pit toilets were “cleanest I’ve ever seen”, per my picky mother in law.
Great hiking trails from the campground and the ranger at the entrance of the park was super helpful. We’ll be back!
