Nice old forest service campground, dirt roads and pickwick tables. A older but clean heated rest room with hot and cold running water. Water at handicap camp site, but it is turned off now as weather is cool.

Campground and pickwick area 

I came up from the south on a motorcycle.  Strong wind out of the west.  The rock formation blocked the wind then I saw the campground sign.  Great place to stay.  Drinking water, tables, and fantastic views.

Very nice.  

Small campground next to U.S. Highway 84. There are 9 campsites with 3 small pull-throughs. I have seen large RVs in the day use area, not sure if this is tolerated.  No services.  Great cell signal for me (t-Mobile) The views in all directions are amazing.  Very close to Ghost Ranch.  Usually very quiet and after dark barely any car traffic on 84.

Gorgeous views and free 

Seems rad but gate is up. Small pullout in front one might use in a pinch 

Closed for covid :(

Small stop over for the night park. Hour outside of santa fe.

Small dusty get you off the highway 

9 spots. Electric available. 1st come 1st serve $20 night for single campsite. Very well maintained. Metal fire ring and concrete Picnic table at each site. Most sites are pretty level. We had a 25 ft travel trailer. The echo amphitheater is beautiful. Just a short walk with stairs to the site. Only 2 campers here including us.

Beautiful 

The campground is well maintained, sites are well spaced. Electric hookups eliminate need for generators and associated noise. $20/ night or $10 with senior parks pass. Beautiful surroundings. As soon as we pulled in, wife says “book 4 nights”.
