"This small state park, located just 6 miles outside of downtown Santa Fe, might provide the least expensive lodging options for visiting this wonderful city."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"If you're tent camping, Big Tesuque is AMAZING!! It's small, but absolutely beautiful. Each site has a picknick table and a tent pad. There are basic toilets. No showers, no sinks."
"You can expect dozens upwards of a hundred faces a day hiking up here which can be extremely annoying and the car traffic can drive you nuts."
$43 - $65 / night
"Perhaps their roadside sign had recently blown down? It was hard to see, but a fine stay."
"This was a great location to explore the city and the staff was really nice. The bathrooms are clean and the laundry facility is nice as well. "
"Restaurants are near-by and be sure to try Tortilla Flats. Showers and toilets are a close walk away and are kept clean by friendly staff. There is a laundry and lines to hang up your clothes."
"Close to the bike path and grocery stores. Very convenient. Very clean. Very friendly."
GuideStumbled on this location by chance when another location nearby was closed. Long forest road with approximately 8-10 dispersed campsites along the road. All sites seemed decently big with most having river access. Our site had a fire pit and was away from the road, which is a plus. My boyfriend was able to fish along the river at our site while I stayed in the hammock- super nice. Even though we were right next to the water, there were less bugs than anticipated. Downside was that the forest road was pretty busy during the day and there was some trash left behind from previous campers. Good location and only 20 or so minutes from town.
GuidePlenty of space to find a camp site from right off the road to venture back farther . Good cell service some tv stations . Lots of off road trails for dirt bikes and ATV . How ever lots of trash around not just blown in trash but trash brought out and dumped . So look around and choose you area accordingly. Not a lot of shad either .
GuideWe stayed one night while traveling to North Dakota. Woke up in the morning to a heard of wild horses moving through the area. Google/Apple directions should not be used, they take you to a locked gate.
RangerI loved my stay here. This location is so prime for visiting all the sights in Taos, and there are many. The campground is compact but still, private. There are several pull-thru sites for big rigs, many back-in sites with water/elec. hookups, and some tent sites in the back of the campground and a few sites at the front by the office that are back-in without any amenities.
There is a dump station, a dishwashing area, bathrooms with very hot showers, a playground, and office. No open fires are allowed only propane or other contained fires. Cell phone service and wifi thru the campground is available tho not fast when everyone jumps on at the same time. During my stay everyone was very quiet. My only complaint was a light that stayed on all night for security.
Restaurants are really close enough to walk to and there is an Ace Hardware store across the street for emergency repairs. Old Town Taos is 3 miles away.
ScoutA dispersed site that has space yet well shaped. Sits atop a hill on three sides. Great fire pit for when campfires are allowed
TravelerEnjoyed being able to easily access this dispersed camp ground. Lots of available space and only about a 15min drive into Downtown, Santa Fe.
Lots of trash upon entering, however continue further along and it isn't so bad.
ScoutClean, spacious campground. Bathrooms not too far
ScoutNice place to be. Google views, right at lake. Close to Tent Rocks. Typical excellent COE sites. Bath is clean but I thought pushbutton no temp control showers went out years ago.
GuideIt's a dirt road in a bit rocky but I did it in my stock transit nice and slow. The views are gorgeous and my Verizon signal was strong enough to work
