- High-speed Wi-Fi access throughout the grounds.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The centerpiece of the area is the Capulin Volcano National Monument, located just three miles from the park gates. Here, visitors can drive to the rim or hike the trails around the crater of an extinct volcano. The nearby town of Folsom offers a glimpse into western history at the Folsom Museum. The area is also renowned for unparalleled stargazing opportunities due to the lack of light pollution, making it a favorite spot for amateur astronomers and night-sky photographers.

Rented a cute little cabin. Was perfect for our family of 4 and right across from the Capulin Volcano National Monument! AMAZING stars at night in this Dark Sky area. Some road noise so bring ear plugs. Clean bathrooms!

Don’t waste your time and money on this place. There were so many weeds and raccoon poop around the hookups they were hard to get to. They didn’t give us the WiFi passcode or the code to the bathroom doors. The men’s room wasn’t locked but there was NO hot water. They wouldn’t answer the door so I called to get the code to the women’s bathroom and they never called back. We couldn’t get out of there fast enough. I couldn’t give it a minus score or I would have.
