    Santa Fe KOA

    Compact campground with pull thru sites

    Stopped by this KOA to see what it offered for possible future stays. It's a compact campground that provides pull through sites as well as back-in and tent sites. They offer everything from 50 amp electric to cable TV. Sites are clean and neat. There's a dog park for your pets. Bathrooms are clean with hot showers. They have cabins available as well.

    Great location for exploring Sandra Fe, Bandelier, and other national monuments.

    Hub of Activity

    This campsite was efficient, friendly, and had plenty of entertainment available. We walked to the brewery next door and made good use of the dog parks.

    Albuquerque KOA Journey

    Get the Full H/U site for best location

    Stayed twice - once with full h/u, once with W/E. The FHU was a far better location with concrete pad, much less highway noise, and much better bathrooms. Sites are decent distance apart, not on top of each other but can certainly see each other. Sites are all nice and flat. Not much tree cover. COVID ops means amenities are limited but nice dog park.

    Santa Fe Skies RV Park

    Desert style campground with great amenities

    Friendly staff, great campground setup. Very accomodating to travelers with dogs as they habe a dog walking path and dog park. The showers at the main house are free and open 24/7 - big and well maintained. The propane station was great too as we do not have a rig with portable bottles. The sites are beautiful with different art sculptures all throughout the campground. Plus it is a gated campground which definitely made our family feeling safe and secure. The sites are full hookup plus wifi which was decently strong. Would definitely recommend this campground!
