Santa Fe Skies RV Park is family built, owned and operated. It sits on 17 acres overlooking the beautiful mountains of Santa Fe, New Mexico. We are "Big Rig friendly". Fifty five sites are pull-thrus designed to accommodate large motor coaches and travel trailer rigs. All sites are equipped with 20/30/50 amp electrical service. Water and Sewer are available at all pull-thru and almost all back-in sites. We are "pet friendly". Free Wifi is available. The RV Park is within a short driving distance to two major shopping malls (one an outlet mall), several restaurants, a large supermarket and other local businesses. We are located just off the scenic Turquoise Trail, which includes the historic Villages of Cerrillos and the artist center of Madrid. It is only a short distance from the 17th Century Spanish Colonial Living History Museum, El Rancho de Las Golondrinas, which was the last overnight stop for travelers coming to Santa Fe on the El Camino Real from Mexico. The city of Santa Fe is located at the base of the Sangre de Cristo mountains at an altitude of 7,000 ft. above sea level. (That is 1,500 ft. higher than Denver, Colorado.) Since the Santa Fe Skies RV Park sits on a ridge just outside of town, you get a panoramic view of the entire Santa Fe area! Not only can you see the historic Sangre de Cristo Mountains, where the sunset makes the mountains shine with a red glow in the evening (hence the name "Sangre de Cristo" or "Blood of Christ"), you can also see the Jemez Mountains to the west, and in the south and southwest the Cerrillos Hills, the Ortiz Mountains and the Sandia Peak at the base of which lies the city of Albuquerque.

Founded in 1610, La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asís is the oldest capital city in the United States. Most people simply know it Santa Fe, New Mexico. Resting at an elevation of 7,200 feet, in a wide valley between two mountain ranges, Santa Fe is known as “The City Different” for its unique culture and historical atmosphere. The biggest draw to Santa Fe is its historic downtown area, where much of its original architecture and character has been preserved. Visitors are invited to dine at sidewalk cafes, roam arts and crafts galleries, and shop in local boutiques. There’s also plenty to explore just outside of the city, including hiking and skiing in the Santa Fe Mountains, ancient pueblos at Pecos National Historic Park, and the former ghost town Madrid, and its variety of eclectic shops, galleries and eateries. Located just a few miles southwest of the historic downtown area, the Los Sueños de Santa Fe RV Park & Campground offers nearly 100 drive-in and pull-through RV campsites. Sites can accommodate vehicles/trailers up to 70 feet, and provide full or partial hookups. A selection of campsites are available for small vehicles and tent campers. Resort amenities include restrooms, shower and laundry facilities, picnic pavilion, barbecue area, playground, swimming pool, and free Wifi service; a dump station is available onsite. Restaurants, groceries and a movie theater are within just a few minutes’ walking distance, and visitors can use the Santa Fe trail system to walk or ride all the way to the historic downtown area. Pets are welcome, with restrictions. Campsite rates are $36–$54/night.

KOA Journey in Santa Fe was very quite nice. They have a very nice game room, each RV space had some privacy or a private fenced in yard or patio. Some of the spots were a little tight once you get your slides out, but since we were staying only one night, it didn’t bother us. I though it was a little pricey, but I generally think KOAs are overpriced. I really liked the location and would love to have stayed longer. The Wi-Fi was excellent. They have great full hook ups and laundry room and bath houses. The office had a nice supply shop as well.
Traveler
One of the best RV parks we've ever stayed at. We'll maintained. Easy in & out set up. Helpful, friendly staff. Beautiful scenic location surrounded by the Rockies. Only drawback is I-70 west of Denver.
Guide
We stayed here two nights in July, 2020. We're from Albuquerque, so this was just a quick"local" getaway. This is a pretty sprawling campground, with all kinds of sites(tent only, large sites with only 30 amp service, some sites with full hook up, others with just water& electric and a few water only. Shop carefully! We got a full hook up 50amp site. There is a row of these in the southwest end of the park. These are VERY narrow sites. We snugged right up against the hookups, and still didn't have room on the other side to put out our rug. There are low bushes between the sites, so the awning worked, but very little room for chairs and such. Also, the water pressure was quite low. Weakest shower I've had in our rig. Not sure if this changes with the number of campers, though, since it is well water. Our area was VERY busy and full of some big rigs(most from Texas). Oh, and wifi is spotty. Our site literally had a repeater stuck in the ground right next to our rig, and we got a strong signal, but pretty weak internet. I had better luck just using my Verizon iphone's hot spot. But it was still nice. It's got a rustic feel, but didn't necessarily feel run down. BRIEF interactions with the staff were friendly enough.
We also enjoyed the on-site hiking trail. It is only.5 miles, but making the circle a couple of times was nice on our last morning. I can certainly see us staying here again. It IS pricey(our two nights, with Good Sam Discount plus tax, came to $102), but that's Santa Fe for you!
Guide
Los Suenos rv Park is located in the hustle and bustle of Santa Fe. If you're not sure you will drive right by and not even see it. If you do manage to find it nice little park with full hookups laundry and shower facilities but that's it. All cell carriers seem to work just fine here.
Ranger
Next to a landfill, which is loud near the trailhead. Pit toilets are disgusting. Would rather dig a hole for that… long term campers mainly at the trailhead - RV, tent, and van. Plus loads of trash and abandoned RV’s.
However, I stayed here the 14 day limit and found some great spots that are secluded from the residents and flies. Other than the serenading coyotes, it’s very peaceful at night. Great views of the surrounding mountains and awesome sunsets. Conveniently located to Santa Fe. I don’t think I’ll stop here again unless it’s overnight.
Guide
Dirt road leading up to campground was totally drivable but heavily washboarded at the beginning, so be advised if you're towing. Plenty of room for my 25ft travel trailer and larger rigs should be okay as well.
No water, power, or dump station, but there are individual garbage containers at each site. As others have said, you can get water at the North Lake campground, but there's a pass you'll need to buy to get in. I think it was $20 bucks for a year, and gets you access to a few other recreation areas further north.
Seems like a lot of people come to the campground for day use just to hang and look out at the lake. If you're staying long term, I'd avoid the overlook sites as there will be noise and traffic right there.
I stayed at one of the sites around the back which looks out at the mountains - not a bad view.
$9 per day when I was there.

This is an RV park that has Overnight ($35), Weekly ($125), and Monthly ($400). They have water, sewer, electricity hookups included with the prices. Also included is cable. Showers are near the entrance and also trash cans. All spots are closed to each other so no privacy. Most of the RV’s where fifth wheels and Buses. Mostly older people. It’s just 1 min from Walmart and the dollar store.
ScoutThe sites are reasonably level. Easy hook-ups. Verizon 5G service was okay but was enough for me to work remotely. Check in is super easy. The park is clean but a little overgrown in spots. If you're looking for a perfectly manicured RV park, this is not your stop. If you're good with a spot that has super friendly staff and is a little quirky, you'll enjoy your stay.

We are newbies to the RV Park world and I must say for our first official RV Park stay this place was amazing. Quiet with beautiful views. Public facilities are superb and super clean. Will save this place as my go to stay in Santa Fe.

We wish we could’ve stayed here longer! We loved this campground. Came here in May 2021 on a bit of faith, as we couldn’t find much info on whether our 28' rig would be okay. The road up from Montezuma/Las Vegas is very winding and sometimes close to one lane, but we had no problems when there was oncoming traffic. (Note the campground host had a class A) The campground is small and quiet. 14 sites, several for tents only, and a few pull through. First come first serve. We were lucky that the campground was empty when we arrived, so we had our choice of spots. Not all sites would’ve fit our trailer. No hookups, no water, pit toilets only. No cell service. Our kids loved playing in the gorgeous mountain stream adjacent to the campground.(Just watch out for broken glass, we found quite a bit) Would’ve definitely stayed longer if we had time
RangerLoved this RV park! The host were really nice and helpful. Sites were spacious and nice layer out with walkways. Not far from local businesses.
ScoutWe stayed here for a couple of nights. The RV Park was very quiet and peaceful. They have a wonderful walking trail. It is close to town. This park is super clean. I highly recommend this park.
LegendNot much of an RV Park as it it mostly monthly's and storage spots. If you can boondock, stay at the Walmart just up the road. If want to stay longer, try Storrie Lake State Park about a mile north. Better place and cheaper.

I came in on a Saturday and stayed three nights in the electric area. I reserved the last electric site which turned out to be wheelchair accessible. I hadn't seen that when making the res.It was bigger and off to the side, away from the row of RV park style sites. I rode my bike around and saw that the primitive sites where really nice, up on the ridges and some had water, most had covered picnic tables. Pretty area. But the electric area on Sat and Sun was noisy. Someone decided on Saturday that the whole loop would enjoy his favorite style of music. How can some people think all the rest of us are going to enjoy their music? Ticks me off. I hope their rig burns down. Can you believe he actually started to sing along!

First time traveling in an RV with my family, very familiar with Santa Fe area but visited in August of 2019 (Market/busy season). All the other RV parks were full and with our comfort in the city we thought staying on the outskirts would be fine. The owners/attendants were kind but not organized and a little rough around the edges. There was a game room but it was locked up, the bathrooms were ok. Now to the guns.... I believe there are several full time residents on the property, that were also a bit rough, firing into the open field next to the property. We immediately informed the Park host and he said that was not uncommon and he would look into in. It happened 2 out of 3 nights there, safe to say we will not return nor recommend.
GuideLocated right off a main thoroughfare, close to a lot of fun Santa Fe stuff (including Meow Wolf). Nothing too special, showers were ok (wish they had curtains). Lots of long- or full-timers. Quiet for an rv park in the middle of town. New Mexican restaurant across the street, El Comal, is delicious. Decently priced. Wi-Fi only sorta works.
ScoutThe RV park is excellent, don't know why there are poor reviews. The location could not be better! The sites were very clean and easy to get into with a class A. The managers were very gracious and helpful for all our needs and gave great recommendations for Santa Fe. This is the third time we have stayed here and love it!
Guide
So the info on Dyrt and the parks website in inaccurate. There are 35+ first come first serve tent spots (none of which have water as of May 2024) and 10 ish RV spots on a separate loop, only 2 of which are first come first serve and electric only - all the rest are reservation only...
The tent spots aren't accessible with anything bigger than a regular car/SUV - class B with an experienced driver and short wheel base might be able to fit, no way a class C would. No way a trailer (even a teardrop) would fit in the parking spots for tent spots if you strike out on the RV spots.
The drive up is GORGEOUS and almost worth it regardless of camping, and super convenient to downtown Santa Fe, but if you're in a RV have your water straight and HAVE A RESERVATION! We ended up just parking in a trailhead parking lot (that said no camping) and rolled the dice (successfully).
Ranger
It has 60 RV Spots with hookups, 2 tent areas and some cabins. A playground, pool (closed due to Covid), dog run area and volleyball. The campground is very nice and clean but not too much to do around. They do however have a little store and gift shop and a game room.
GuideWe REALLY enjoyed our stay at Santa Fe Skies RV Park! We had no idea what to expect, and while the roads and overall terrain of the park were "rustic," the nice cement pads and patio furniture at each site made it feel really nice. We got to check in ahead of time online, and got assigned our site without having to stop at the office first. We parked our 42' fifth wheel no problem. We were right across from the old tractors and cars, and walking trails which was a nice surprise! The dog park was excellent. If we're ever in Santa Fe again, we'll be back!
RangerLevel gravel full hookup service. Rally room very large and outdoor space nice. WiFi not so great and ATT service poor. No cable tv service. Rest rooms very clean.
RangerThe RV Park is about 20 minutes from the old town shops and restaurants so it’s a good location not far off the highway. Grocery is close and nice. Site was good, could have used leveling and more gravel (some sites better than ours). Privacy was good with trees and bushes between sites. We were thankful for the shade trees and fire pit. Picnic table was a little shabby. Pool was closed probably due to COVID-19? They have a store with a few items that was open 8-12 and 4:00-8:00. Laundry room needed cleaning and updating. The reason I can only give this place three stars is the condition of the bathroom and shower area. Needs a good deep cleaning (I recommend a power washer). It also needs updating and painting but if it was clean that would not matter so much. Bugs and hair on the floor and con webs in the stalls. The fan looked like it had never been cleaned. Walls and door definitely need paint. I would also recommend taking the bars off the windows and cleaning them to make it look more inviting. Wish I could give it a higher rating, it has potential.
Traveler4/5/2021 Right off the highway. One of the nicer KOA's we have stayed at in the Southwest. True, the sites are close together which is typical at KOA's but this campground had lots of established trees which was nice (meaning shade). Many pull through sites. Full hookups. One of the unique things is they provide a full breakfast for a very nominal cost which got us going and out quickly. Pancakes, Eggs, Potatoes (with green chilis). It was really tasty. Despite being right off the highway it is quiet. Playground for kids. They are clearly working on improving and updating the sites. Fresh gravel. Looked very clean and well kept. The short dirt road was a little rough between the interstate and the entrance. We were welcomed warmly and felt appreciated. We would stay here again.
TravelerThe best part of this campground was the location! Close to downtown Santa Fe. The staff & guests did wear masks & social distanced. We were traveling with an RV and a suv/tent set up, & appreciated that we could get the largest pull through RV spot ($64) and bunker down together. The grounds and restrooms could use a little TLC to take it to the next level. Pup friendly, too!
GuideFull hookup. Big gravel lots and lots of them. Great location close to downtown Santa Fe and stores for loading up. It was quiet too.
Not very pretty. Not much of an office. No amenities really. WiFi was not very great either.
Legend
This gated campground is first-come, first serve. It is full hookup and contains 30 pull thru sites. You can call in advance to ask if they have space, but in all likelihood there will be plenty of room (only a quarter of the sites were full when we stayed on a weekday in June). Expect no frills though good, free wi-fi. Road noise was moderate. You check in at the gas station to pay and get the gate code. Felt reasonably safe for being right off the interstate. If you don't want the hook-ups and added safety, there is a large gravel lot adjacent to the gas station where you can boondock. Would stay again.
Traveler
There are a few prime reservable sites by the river, otherwise it is first come, first served. Most sites can accommodate either tent or rv camping, and some both. The playground and hiking trails are fun for kids. The general store in town is fair, but be selective on buying firewood. Sometimes it is fairly green. It is a campground I go to annually, the night skies are wonderful.
