Good spot for campingn
Limited review due to rains. Nice area for quiet camping or for access to wilderness areas, hiking. Taos and Red River are 1/2 hour away for touristy stuff. During heavy rains river did not leave its banks. Sites are tight, best ones are by the river. Nice walking path by river but noticed many dog walkers not picking up after their dogs. Clean bathroom and laundry facilities. Some septic drains too high to drain properly, should be fixed. Had to move in order to dump tanks.

Nicely maintained
This was our first trip to Coyote Creek State Park. We heard about the new loop and that appeared to have some great new sites. We were surprised on how great the new sites are. The shelters over the nice picnic table is huge! We walked the park and it was clear that the entire park was meticulously maintained. The only down side was a slip and fall on the drainage concrete in the road. Luckily, it was only a minor wrist sprain. The local ranger saw the fall and asked if I was ok. Apparently, the concrete has been an issue for some trailers and people. The toilets in the campground are clean and well maintained. We routinely visit NM state parks and this one has to be the best maintained. The side by side electrical sites isn't for us and there are other options. We plan to be back.

4K River Ranch
Great for a crowed rv park
If you have a spot along the river this place is great. But less than 10% of spots are on the river so make sure you book in advance.

Clean & beautiful
Really enjoyed this campground. Most of the sites are FCFS and the host comes to you for payment.
The pit toilets were very clean, no flies or anything gross. The road is a bit rough but nothing to unusual for a campground up here.
The scenery is absolutely gorgeous with plenty of aspens amounts the pines.
I will definitely visit again.

Quiet, well kept, and pretty rv park with full hook ups!
We had a group of two and rented 59,60,61 all by the river so we had room to spread out. Beautifully serene spots although these are not big rig friendly. Our camper is 26 ft and I would say that’s about all that would fit here. Maybe 30. There are plenty of other big rig sites tho. Extremely clean and well kept. Super quiet, not even a lot of road noise on the sites near the road. The river runs right through the campground and they have a fishing pond as well. Friendly and easy check in, escorted us to our site, and lots of amenities for an enjoyable stay.

Weekend Stay
We camped at site #1 with full hook ups for 2 nights. The grounds were very clean and well shaded. We tagged along last minute with a group of friends who had already booked so had limited options on site choice. The site we had was super close to the restaurant and was pretty loud with karaoke one night and a band the next. There are several different site locations throughout, many with much more privacy that would have suited our family better if we had more time to plan. We also happened to be there the same weekend as a local fire department fishing tournament. I enjoyed that the community had such a great turnout, but it made recreational use significantly more crowded. The park rangers strictly patrol the grounds so if you have any teens who have the hybrid dirt bike/e-bike then leave those at home. Overall it was a pleasant experience for a campground resort (we prefer national forest or dispersed typically) and it had clean/unique amenities.

Coyote Creek State Park
Nice hiking trails and trout fishing. Some RV spaces are tightly packed and close together but a few have more space between sites. There are plenty of primitive sites but restricted to trailer lengths of 18 feet or less. They are constructing a few large pull thru sites which should be available soon. Has good dump station.
