        Love the area, some live-ins need to go

        Excellent location and views, just need some lo g term resident clean up or eviction at entrance. We stayed for one night. Great set up and next to a brewery/restaurant in wish we would have visited. Clean bathrooms and nice sites.

        Nice KOA

        One of the nicer KOAs but still a KOA. Sites are close together. Friendly staff and clean/organized campground. Close to highway but easy in/out. Some smaller trees have branches that can damage your rig so be mindful of the space above as you navigate through the sites.

        Beautiful Ground (Needs new host)

        The campground is beautiful! Has great rv spots, and having the little pagoda to ourselves was so fun! Bathrooms are nice, has lots of trails, and has good access to trashcans. I was bummed about the “river access” because you really have to blaze your own trail through tall brush to actually get to the river. But the views were amazing! My only complaint - this place NEEDS a new camp host, badly! When we pulled in (at Noon) the host told us we needed to sign papers and pay $8 for parking our extra car in our RV spot. He told us he would come by with the paperwork. Well he didnt, so we went to the check in station and knocked. No answer and it was locked. So we went to the camp host camper to knock…DISGUSTING. Huge piles of dog feces around the camper. It looked like the dogs were pooping inside and it was getting brushed out the door into piles around the door. Gross trailer, garbage everywhere. We knocked anyways and no answer, so we hurried away to get away from the smell. We went back to the check in station around 2 and again at 4:40 and still no answer. My advice, get a new host with a newer camper who will respect the place.

        Great spot not too far from Albuquerque, very peaceful and quaint. Friendly staff and dog friendly ( on a leash). Picnic tables, showers, laundry, clean restrooms, all nestled in the pine and fur trees.

        Sheltered Tent Site

        Amazing view of mountains and Rio Grande. On the same road as Coronado Historical Site, which is an amazing Adobe settlement circa 1300 AD. Clean bathrooms, beautiful camping area in general.

        Great for new campers!

        This is a great location to test out some camping gear and/or explore camping for newbies. 

        The site is clean, well-maintained, and managed. The staff is very friendly and helpful! 

        A grocery/general store is nearby for anything you may have forgotten. I would highly recommend it and look forward to coming here again.

        We stayed here one night traveling through NM. The sites were tight (typical KOA). Everything was clean and the folks were friendly. Easy in and out. Would stay here again for an overnight.

        Quiet campground

        The campground is clean, the sites are well groomed with camp pads level. Lots of trees for shade. There are 2 areas, on for tents and 1 for RV’s. The people who run the campground are very nice and accommodating.

        Excellent urban camping

        This is a civilized campground located just a few minutes north of Albuquerque. Amenities include a camp store and laundry room. I arrived without a reservation and was able to find a nice tent site with plenty of shade and wooden fences on three sides for privacy. Water and electricity were also available at my site.

        This being an urban campground, there was some traffic noise from nearby roads and freeways. However, the campground quieted down at night and I slept well. The bathrooms were very well appointed, and required a code to enter.

        Great stay in the desert mountains!

        I stayed 2 nights and this quiet, quaint campground in my van. I had a pretty secluded spot with electric. Everyone here was so nice and helpful especially Autumn in the office who checked me in. Very reasonable price. I would stay here again in an heartbeat. Very quiet except for the occasional car on the private road. Had a nice shower.

        This place is ok.

        Old style city campground. Quaint adobe cabanas with picnic tables inside. Great location just off I25 corridor and less than 50 yard walk to a nice new brewery. There are a couple of long term residents, one of whom has completely packed the cabana with "stuff". Old restrooms, but adequate. Water and electric sites if you wish to pay for it. Dump station on site. Great view of Sandia peak and camp is situated right on the River. It even had water in it when we were there.

        Amazing Staff

        I haven't stayed here as of now, however the person I talked to on the phone was amazingly helpful. My husband is a traveling nurse and we are looking for a spot to stay during his next contract in Albuquerque NM. When we took the contract we had no idea about the balloon festival that happens there in October. I have been calling around looking for sites and of course they are all booked. Most people I have spoken to have been polite and professional. The lady I talked to at this place was so kind and took time to give me some much needed advice on the area even though their location likely won't be a great fit for our family due to the number of people in our family she still spent time trying to help me even giving me info on other places in the area that could work better for our family. I appreciate when people are willing to help me and give me info even when they have nothing to gain by doing so. It sounds like we will need to look for a different place, but if it were a better fit i would choose this place over others simply because of the customer service. I have confidence that the people working here will do anything they can to help those staying here and that to our family is worth a lot.

        Beautiful!

        There's nothing to dislike here. But if you find something, let them know, and they'll fix it. ☺ I'm in the camping area 🏕. There are many people who frequent this area. Returning over and over again. Plenty of children, dogs, and the usual traveler. I've seen business men with laptops, who are sick of hotels, and city folk with pop up cabins. Everyone is always happy here.

        Good for short stay

        Not many options in this area. I stopped here since it was on the way. The lady was helpful and gave me shower tokens included with the cost which was 22. The sites are not super private, some less than others. I found a decent spot, even though I arrived In the evening time. There are dogs that live near by and they bark all night which wasn't ideal. Also I could hear sirens from the near by freeway which sort of beats the purpose of camping. However, it was clean and I would recommend if you need somewhere to shower and rest for the night. Also important to note, no wood fires. I was very disappointed by that since I had just bought stuff for smores.

        I really enjoyed this spot. I was driving cross-country and this campsite was the perfect place to bed down for the night. It’s at the foothills of the eastern side of the Sandia Mountains and makes for some amazing views.
