Best Glamping near Santa Fe National Forest

238 Reviews

Located within easy access to Santa Fe, the Santa Fe KOA and Rancheros de Santa Fe offer glamping accommodations ideal for travelers seeking comfort in nature. The Santa Fe KOA features both cabin and yurt options with electricity, while Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa provides upscale glamping with access to their renowned mineral springs. "We loved our stay here. Monsoon season - not an issue with the Adirondack shelters," one visitor noted about the area. Many glamping sites provide comfortable beds with linens, heating and air conditioning, private decks, and proximity to hiking trails. Hyde Memorial State Park also offers two large yurts tucked away from the main road, providing a secluded glamping experience in a forest setting.

The yurts at Hyde Memorial State Park are particularly noteworthy, featuring patios and heating systems that make them comfortable year-round. A recent visitor mentioned, "We walked through the yurt site just above us, and they are stunning, with patios and what appears to be heating." Glamping guests enjoy easy access to Santa Fe's cultural attractions, with downtown just 6-8 miles from most sites. The proximity to hiking trails, including the waterfall trail in Hyde Memorial State Park, allows guests to explore the natural beauty of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. During winter months, glamping accommodations provide a comfortable base for visitors heading to nearby ski areas, while summer visitors can enjoy wildflower fields and mountain views. Most luxury outdoor stays require reservations well in advance, particularly during peak summer and fall seasons.

    Santa Fe KOA

    Romantic Tent for Two Please

    My husband had the great idea of tent camping just the two of us. Up to this point our tent camping adventures were reserved for grandbaby time. But I said What the hey! Let's do it. I wanted somewhere cooler than home. The Santa Fe area had plenty to keep us busy for the week.

    We did not get a tent spot but opted for a small trailer site with electric and water. Our spot was near the bathhouse but not too close. Each site has native trees and plants, so everyone has privacy. The site had a nice flat spot for the tent, picnic table, fire pit and grill. We had more than enough room to set up our awning for a dining area. We loved our little spot for the week.

    The bathhouse was clean and very nice. New tile and fixtures. It was a little small for the size of the campground.

    They have plenty of activities there for everyone and in the evening it is very quiet.

    Holy Ghost Campground

    Beautiful escape

    This campground is just above 8200ft in the forest, more specifically in the Santa Fe National Forest at the edge of the Pecos Wilderness. We stayed at site 3, more or less right next to the creek. Site 2 was just as pretty and a bit larger, but not quite as shaded. No matter the site, the area is green, peaceful, and cool.

    It is gorgeous up there, but be aware that the road is really narrow and, though paved, in terrible condition with HUGE pot holes en masse, so it is slow going, particularly with a camping trailer. We have a 22' trailer and we saw only one other, maybe 25', which I think is likely pushing the limits.

    It's a bit of a tense drive for the 3 miles along Holy Ghost Canyon, but well worth the effort! We camped at Holy Ghost Campground in a Travel Trailer.

    Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa

    Unbelievable Hot Springs w/ Camping Next Door

    This is another great spot in the New Mexican high country, especially if you’re a fan of hot springs AND vintage campers. In addition to full-hook up camping/ RV spots, the resort offers vintage campers for rent. It is a great and quiet place to rest, recuperate,

    and just enjoy yourself. 

    We stayed in the camping loop, and even with electricity and wifi available, had plenty of sunshine for solar power as well as good access for our Starlink. Cell service was pretty skimpy though. 

    The bathhouse at the camping area was well heated with wonderfully hot showers, flush toilets, and plenty of space. Water and a dump station was available in the camping area for an extra fee.

    Access to the hot springs spa was NOT included in the price for camping, and not inexpensive, but the variety of pools and the beauty of the place was worth it. They offer steam rooms, a multitude of pools of varying temperature and mineral content, in addition to a mud bath, lap swimming pool and full locker/ changing room.  They also offer full spa services, massages, etc.  It was very busy on the weekend with day-use customers, but going early or mid week was a far less crowded time. 

    The onsite restaurant/pub is a class act and delicious.  Nearby there are a few hiking trails right from the property, and with the national forest nearby there’s lots of outdoor adventures available. 

    The nearest grocery/ convenience store is just down the road, but the selection is pretty limited. The closest town with full services is in Espanola about 30 minutes away.

    Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa

    Super quite location

    My wife and I just spend two days at this RV resort. Its attached to the Ojo Caliente Spa Resort. The spaces only had eletric and water. The eletric and water outlets where placed in an odd location for the site and a dumb station is available for extra $20. One thing we both noticed about the RV park was how quite it was at night. No campfires in the RV park but the spa area had a big fire pit lit every night and where there so many of the RV community hung out there. It gave us a chance to meet our neighbors and talk traveling. We spent one whole day at the spa and was given a discount on its entrance price while staying at the RV park. There is also a great restaurant on site. We where traveling in a 34 foot 5th wheel. Cell service is spotty.

    Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa

    Love the Soaks!

    This place is great for staying close to the baths and getting the full experience while also camping.

    The sites are a bit tight for our liking but not many folks were camping this weekend (2/12/22). The bathhouse was nice and heated, which is a plus this time of year.

    We also missed having a campfire and there didn’t seem to be a communal fire going on as referenced in other reviews.

    Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa

    Great overnight option with Hot Springs

    If you have a pet and want to overnight versus stay at the Casitas, it’s just a short walk to the spa and hot springs (20% discount). RV/campsites offer simple flat overnight spaces and picnic benches. On-site showers too.

    Hyde Memorial State Park Campground

    Worth $10 for primitive FCFS!

    3 people, tiny camper, tent, dog. It has a table, grill and fire pit. 2 Vault toilets nearby. Spaced far enough to enjoy the space. Occasional road noise that died as the night came from mountain traffic. Lots of access to the MTN and trails. 25-30 min to the bottom @ Santa Fe. Stayed Sept 30 and Oct 1

    Albuquerque North / Bernalillo KOA

    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.
