Amazing Staff and a Wonderful Cabin Stay!
**Wonderful Stay and Great Customer Service!**
We had a really nice experience at Rancheros de Santa Fe! We originally booked one of the domes, but due to damage from the recent rain, we were upgraded to a cabin. The ladies at the front office were so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They really made us feel taken care of. The cabin was very clean, cozy, and comfortable, which made our stay even better. The bathrooms were also very clean and well-maintained, which is something I really appreciate when traveling. I also loved that our cabin was located right behind the main office. Since it was just my girlfriend and me traveling together, being so close to the office gave us an extra sense of safety and peace of mind. Even though our original plans changed, everything worked out great. We really appreciated the hospitality and how accommodating the staff was. I would definitely recommend Rancheros de Santa Fe and would love to stay here again!

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.

Hyde Memorial State Park Campground
Hyde memorial park site 3
We had a great time at Hyde memorial park. We stayed 2 nights at site #3 with 4 kids. We hiked the whole circle trail which took us about 3.5-4 hours with kids. We hiked the water falll trail in the evening and it didnt have any water flowing through it but we still had fun! There is no water anywhere in the park whatsoever so we had to go back into town to refill our 5 gallon. The night sky was beautiful and we could see so many stars.

Santa Fe KOA
Pretty much a parking lot.
This was pretty disappointing. About 1/3 of the campground is a typical KOA campground with some trees and nice camping spots. The other 2/3 is a gravel parking lot with absolutely no charm, and absolutely no similarity to the photos of the campsites they post online when you're reserving a spot. It is VERY misleading. It seems like the only way to get one of the nicer sites (which just seems like a normal campsite at every campground I've been to) is to pay more for their "Deluxe" sites. And because you don't get to pick a site, you're assigned one, any basic spot is almost guaranteed to be in the gravel parking lot.
You can tell this was just some quick expansion to squeeze in more visitors. The laundry room at the end of the grounds is right next to a manhole, so it smells like sewage. As does one of their "dog parks". It's right next to manhole, so taking our dog there means smelling sewage water.
This campground is WAY overpriced for what you get. Will not be staying at KOA again.

Pool, laundry, shop… great campground

Clean, organized, and dark skies!
This is a great stop if you need full hook ups in the Santa Fe area. We stayed three nights to eat and explore the area. Quiet, friendly staff, and a nice chance to do laundry. It’s a bit outside of Santa Fe proper but close enough. The night skies were great. Would stay again if in the area.

Location Location Location.
This is just about the closest you can legally camp to Santa Fe. Other than free dispersed camping a bit further out, this is also the best value when it comes to camping near Santa Fe. Full services: trash, well maintained pit toilets, regular camp host/ranger patrols, and generally well behaved neighbors with decently spaced sites.
Pet friendly (on a leash, please!) and well appointed with hiking trails to tire them out. I had never given this place a chance because of how close it is to the city, but this stay was wonderful, not crowded at all despite being close to peak season.
Renee V.GuideHyde Memorial State Park Campground
Beautiful
100% worth the trip if you’re in Santa Fe and wanting to escape for a bit. Gorgeous scenery.
Despite the traffic from the highway on occasion, I felt serene.
A lot of the sites are up some fairly steep hills so if you’re bringing a trailer be aware.
I did some basic tent camping. Site 12. I loved it. Excellent spot for a tent and my car. Cute shelter overlooking the forest.
Guide to Tererro
Holy Ghost Campground provides rustic camping opportunities 9 miles north of Tererro in Santa Fe National Forest at 7,500 feet elevation. The campground sits along Pecos River, which provides natural cooling during summer months when temperatures typically range between 45°F nights and 75°F days. Access requires navigating a narrow mountain road that becomes difficult during wet conditions.
What to do
Hiking the Pecos Wilderness: Holy Ghost Campground serves as an entry point to extensive trail systems. "Beautiful hiking trail nearby. No water though, but toilets are clean and campgrounds are nice. Forest Ranger is nice, came by every day," notes Bethany L. The trailheads provide access to alpine lakes and forest terrain.
Fishing access: Stream fishing opportunities abound in the clear waters of the Pecos. One visitor at Holy Ghost Campground observed, "There were a lot more spots to camp (with a tent) than they advertise!" The areas near camp provide reliable fishing spots, particularly in morning hours.
Mountain biking: Aspen Basin Campground offers connections to forest service roads suitable for mountain biking. "I went on my first solo hiking/camping trip here. Coming from Texas, I almost turned around to go back home with only 4 hours left of my drive because I was so terrified," shares Sarah L. who discovered the extensive trail system.
What campers like
Creekside camping: Sites positioned near running water provide natural white noise and cooling. A visitor at Holy Ghost noted, "We ended up getting one of the walk in sites. I'd recommend one of these. It's far enough away from the RV area that you can sleep to the sound of the creek."
Vault toilets: Iron Gate Campground maintains basic facilities despite remote location. "Campground was well maintained, had plenty of clean restrooms and parking. Agree with the other reviewer... a low-profile vehicle will have a tough time making it up the hill to the campground, especially in rainy/snowy weather," reports Lisa C.
Wildlife viewing: Morning and evening hours provide opportunities for deer, elk and bird watching. According to Angelica B., "Nice, shaded spots with fire pits and picnic tables. Clean vault toilets but no water, be sure to take your own. Plenty of nearby hiking and fishing. Saw a deer walk right by our campground during the evening hours."
What you should know
Road conditions: Panchuela Campground and many glamping sites near Tererro require high-clearance vehicles. "Some advice to get there, take it slow and dont tailgate. There is two way traffic on a one lane road. Saw a few people get jammed up because they were following too close and couldn't get out of the way," advises Aaron S.
Water availability: Most campgrounds lack potable water. "No water or showers available. It is a very beautiful place, with a lot to see and explore. We loved it and can not wait to go back," shares Heather L. about Holy Ghost Campground.
Site competition: Arrive early to secure preferred locations, especially at riverside sites. Jeff K. explains, "Nice campground with creekside sites. Sites are a bit close together but could be worse, it certainly helps to get there early to pick the best site."
Tips for camping with families
Easier access campgrounds: Morphy Lake State Park offers less challenging roads and established sites. "Newly renovated! Has great camp spots around the lake. Beautiful views. Went for the day and loved hiking around the lake. Lots of small fish. Everyone was respectful and nice," reports AdventureMo.
Wildlife education: The area provides opportunities to observe small mammals. "Chipmunks were a hoot but need to guard your food," notes Perl R. at Morphy Lake State Park.
Temperature preparation: Mountain elevations mean significant day-to-night temperature swings. Perl R. adds, "Maybe 8500 ft elevation. Very cool even in July; need blankets."
Tips from RVers
Size restrictions: Hyde Memorial State Park accommodates smaller RVs but presents challenges. "We decided to take a late fall trip to CA and drag a 34' 5er up to Hyde memorial state park. Bad idea on many levels. First, you have to navigate through old Santa Fe to get to the entrance to the park. Narrow streets+a big 5th wheel+a huge F250= unfun drive," cautions Kathi V.
Limited hookups: Most glamping near Tererro provides minimal services. "There are several loops in this park, in Ludington Black Canyon, the Main Park Loop, a couple Yurt loops, and the small loop we stayed on with RV electric hookups. While there is electric and a vault toilet, be advised there is no water source on this loop," shares Patrick A. about Hyde Memorial.
Alternative campgrounds: Consider commercial campgrounds in Santa Fe for full hookups and easier access than forest service roads to wilderness glamping near Tererro.
