The location is nice but it isn’t the cleanest campsite with abandoned cars and campers. The staff is very nice and I felt comfortable staying there. FYI. The bathrooms are poorly maintained and the showers in particular are subpar for a campground advertised as full hook up. We payed for showers at the rec center in town. Personally I did not enjoy the loose dogs coming from the permanent residents.

This place is great! The creek runs through and for tent/car campers its easy. There are some long term folks here, but everyone is friendly and helpful. The bathrooms and showers are easy and accessible. Every camp site has a spigot for well water. There is highway noise but that is not the fault of the campground, just be aware.

I'm very sorry Miss Green. I didn't mean those awful things I said about your RV place. And I'm especially sorry for calling you rude. Your place really is a nice place to stay. I love every minute of my visits to see my husband. He stayed at your place for months with his job. Again I sincerely apologize. C. Montoya

I am very upset & disappointed about how filthy & disgusting the facilities are. They promote Hot Showers, yet you have to stand in a disgusting dirty, pan with a grate on it & the drain doesn't drain so you are standing in filthy nasty other people's yuck. The walls, the shower curtain, the doors, the trash cans , the sinks... All of it, just completely gross. Our campsite was small with only one option to put our tent. The fence that was supposed to be between us & the next site was missing that entire section so no privacy & they placed the fire pit right next to where our tent had to go. Our lovely neighbors burned a fire all night & smoked us completely out to sleep in our car both nights. I understand campfires are a part of camping but this was unbearable. The place is so junky & run down. Not worth the sleepless nights, the disgusting bathrooms & not thought out nor maintained sites. Also our camping neighbors parked their second car into our side & we couldn't get our vehicle in both nights. This was a terrible experience & advertised falsely. Never again.

We LOVED this campground!! It is in the Carson National Park, it has mature blooming trees, a stream runs through it, and gurgles all the time...so relaxing. There are fire rings, picnic tables, the spaces are large, the sites are gravel/level. There is a nature trail to hike. The place looks old, but the host is remarkable. Its close to hiking trails, its right on the Enchanted Circle, and only 7 min to Taos, 5 to the Cow for great icecream!
