"A little off the beaten path but was worth it. Each campsite had a picnic area some even had shelters over them! The lower campground was right next to the river (very high when we were there)."
"The drive to this park takes us back in time through the tiny town of Villanueva. Once through the gates I was amazed at the fast flowing Pecos River right next to the tree shaded sites. A gem."
$45 - $75 / night
"It is off the highway but nice and secluded. Pretty location and outside of Las Vegas, NM. It isn’t a five star because the sites are pretty close together"
"4/5/2021 Right off the highway. One of the nicer KOA's we have stayed at in the Southwest."
"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."
"Stopped for the night after a long drive. Spots are very nice for what we needed"
"It is located in the foothills so it is not out in the hot windy flatlands or the cool woods. It is close to but not in or near SantaFe."
"Stayed here for a week with the family close to Santa Fe and Pecos national forest. Managers very friendly and can be quite entertaining if you hang around for a bit."
"We were evacuated from our camping spot in Northern New Mexico due to wildfires and set out for a new spot. Exhausted from driving, we pulled into this campground."
"FYI, when calling for reservation, request to be in back or at least away from 1 night stay people, if that's what you desire. No issues with the staff. If your nice to them, they will be nice to you."
"Just a short drive to the outskirts of Santa Fe in mountain country we found our campground, Rancheros de Santa Fe."
"If you have a big rig or tow a car, you can drive around the loop instead of trying to make the turn to go back out by the front of the office."

"The slides and awning were fully extended without getting close to the adjacent sites. Office was open later than most and you can stay in open spots even if you arrive after hours!"
"Very clean, large restroom/shower...many sites appear to be long term campers...I had a site close to the office/restroom...quiet and helpful owner...internet was sufficient...sites are pull thru which"
TravelerVery convenient Location, but we noticed the water pressure was very low would not even turn on our on the demand heater. So cold showers here at loves!!
GuideStayed 4 nights at Rocky point loop A site A3. It is a water and electric site. The sites are all spaced very far apart for a campground and each site has a covered area with a picnic table and grill. Plenty of room. There are no fire pits and no ground fires allowed although you can have one in the grill if you bring your own wood.
TravelerNeeded a place to stay while passing through Santa Fe. Found this place on the Dyrt and was able to call and get a full hookup site for our after hours arrival. Easy to find, very clean facilities, and friendly and accommodating staff.
RangerStopped on my way thru NM. Bathroom/shower facilities are great! Most sites have a covered picnic table and grill. There is a playground for kids and dumping station. It’s about a 7 mile drive from Int 40.
TravelerEverything is online now did realize that the fishing was bad but still a great place to go and relax
GuideStopped for the night on our way through NM. Short drive off hwy 40. Arrived after hours and all the sites at the Juniper camp were open (Sunday in August). We chose J11. Nice view of the lake. There is a bit of trash around the site though 😕 Used the envelope at the pay station to pay. Have cash and a pen handy. The sites at Juniper could not be reserved online. They were “walk in” only.
GuideWe stayed here just a few nights when we first started our journey. It's a nice little park, and we LOVED the hiking trails in the back! The bathrooms and laundry room were very clean and well kept. The pool and "game room" were also nice. The area we stayed in was clearly for people just staying a few days. One thing I appreciated was the use of hedges to hide the neighboring sewer and hookups. Sites are close, so this helps. It is pretty tight in there, so maneuvering can be challenging if you have a bigger rig. But overall it was a nice place to stay.
GuideGood level concrete pad, plenty long for my 36ft travel trailer and long box pick up. Great voltage, 121vac on my 50 amp connection. Back in site, very easy to get in to. Only negative is my site was right beside big truck entrance, but with a/c on, we heard very little.
GuideIt's an older campground, quite small but a very welcome overnight stop. I guess my biggest complaint is dirt/dusty driveway. The site is very long and very level and plenty acceptable in width. No septic at my site(#1), but they doo have a pull up dump station. Our 50amp service had very good voltage at 117.9vac with both our a/c units running on high. Only reason for 4 stars was dusty driveway. Oh, o e more thing, the office staff was awesome, very friendly and helpful.
