This is a very nice RV park that we found just east of Santa Fe. The staff was incredibly friendly and very helpful as our site didn't have a firing, they promptly brought one out to us. We took our dog on a really nice trail that they had by the park and got some real good views of the surrounding areas. We will definitely stay here again when we're coming through.

We arrived after hours but the campground did communicate by email about after hours checking. I did call several times went to voice mail but they did call me back. Very nice staff. The laundry room and bathrooms are very clean but are old. Our site was sort of level they did level it before we came. Small sites. Our picnic table was in the woods behind our site but we really did not need it. The price is high for all the weeds. I see they are trying to keep it with local plants but really the thorny weeds were horrible do not use the dog park!! Your dog will be in pain. Other than that we enjoyed our time in Santa Fe it was only 20 minutes away. Hookups were ok the water pressure was good.

A beautiful campground in the hills near Santa Fe. Some spots are on the tighter side and the place isn't uniform, but honestly that adds to the charm. Its not a KOA. The grass is not exactly 1.5" tall and there is no picket fence. It doesn't feel so much like an RV park as RV spots in a National Park. You get genuine New Mexico outdoors, with some basic amenities (Pool, Laundry, Bathrooms, store) so you're not roughing it. And trees. So many trees

A gorgeous place to get away from the city. The sites are fantastic, Chelsea was such a pleasure, and my kids are loving the playground and pool. (Although, they would have loved it even more if it was heated. Little on the chilly side.) Will be bringing my Girl Scout troop back in July.

We had a great experience at this campground. The front desk service was impeccable. Very nice people and I stress it. Our campsite was great, bathrooms were clean and laundry room was pretty decent. We were there a little before the season started so it wasn’t crowded yet, allowing plenty of privacy, which we enjoy. Also the campground is dog-friendly and all dogs we encountered were well behaved. We thoroughly enjoyed our two-nights stay 🙂

We camped in our travel trailer here while on vacation. This is a beautiful park. It's peaceful and quiet. The sites are spacious and there is vegetation in between each site so there is some privacy. The people in the office were very nice. There is a trail to walk your dog on. The park is close to everything. The first day we got here it actually snowed. It was magical seeing the snow from inside of our camper, And I got the most beautiful photos walking around the park the next morning. We saw some awesome sunsets from the park. I highly recommend staying here.

3 stars because the people I dealt with in person were nice. This is not a big rig friendly park (we have a 38' fifth wheel). There are sites that fit you but the windy narrow roads to get to spots are not ideal, especially if you are not experienced. I'm not sure how some people got their diesel pushers in to spots. The majority of the park is on the hillside. We booked a site and we're called and told it would not fit us (website said it would) . Not a problem, she rebooks us. We get there and the site they moved us to is not possible without hanging up the whole rig. We would have torn off our stabilizers. A very nice lady moved us to another spot and luckily no one was beside us so that I could park my truck there. One day the power and well pump were shut off because the power company was doing pole work. I called up to ask if they knew what the plan was on the well since we had just emptied our tank and everything had already been off for half a day. I was told about the meeting they had with the line crew going over the plan to shut the park down. But the park then never let us know? We could have topped off our tanks and got the generator going so my work wasn't cut off during calls. Again, whoever I talked to on the phone was nice but not a good customer experience at all. The spot we were in had trees/ bushes cut down at some time in the past but stumps were left anywhere from 4-6" high. I tripped over them a few times setting up/taking down. Black tank cover was just broken off and sitting on the pipe. Electric panel cover was barely hanging on with the light cover broken off it. "Aged" is a description I saw others use and I'd agree. People with smaller rigs may enjoy some of the treed spots. Hopefully the friendly folks they have working there will get a plan to improve the park. Pretty quick drive to get in to Santa Fe. Quiet for the most part. Priced high for what it was.

Lots of space between sights, much larger than most private campgrounds, most RV sights have trees and bushes between them. Beautiful location and scenery. Christi in the office was very friendly and helpful even after hours. Very relaxing and quiet location. Easy to get to from the highway but far enough that there was little traffic noise audible in the campground. The campground had a natural feel in that the campsites were gravel and dirt and some leveling of RV is required. Bathroom, shower and laundry in excellent condition. Obvious upgrades have been done to include new water and electric hookups and new propane refill station was being set up when we were there.

We stayed here twice while driving through each way on a winter road trip. Was a great place to stay close enough to the highway (but not noisy from highway) that provided a safe stay with electricity (they have full hookups in regular season) and easy check in ability. Wish more RV parks would do this. We will be back! Thanks Rancheros De Santa Fe Campground!

I stayed here during the winter when they have limited space. I am very glad they are open at all and have some availability. It was $30/night on space available basis. For the area, that is a really good price. Wifi was of a decent speed. Roads and sites are dirt with some gravel. Far enough from the freeway to eliminate most noise.
