If the springs are closed, it is sad

So apparently every so often the Sante Fe river floods out this spring with no warning. We checked the website the morning we left all was well. By the time we drove 2.5 hours to get there it was brown and murky and unusable. Sadly the spring is the only reason to camp there and with no warning system we wasted a lot of traveling for no reason. The place was a ghost town everyone left. Other cons… 1.5 mile very uneven dirt road with big bumps and trenches. Beat the heck out of my camper just trying to get there. Entrance to campsites once inside not maintained any better my minivan barely had clearance to reach campsites. The springs are beautiful when open but in my opinion not worth the risk traveling to unless you are very local. Campsites very blah very close very basic. We left after about 30 minutes.
