Agree with all previous comments--a real jewel. Only thing we can add is that we (humans and dog) loved the trails and the 3-sided shelters. Practically had the place to ourselves off-season. Camp host did come to greet us and alert us to the "camp kitty," which we were glad to have a heads up about given our cat-hating dog. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Another great New Mexico state park. Eight sites with electricity, table, pedestal, and fire ring. Some of the sites had a shade Ramada but our site didn’t, it did have the table sitting on a cement pad. After Labor Day the sites are first come first served only. We drove straight into site # 9 so that we were facing in towards the trees and we opened up away from the road. We were able to get all three slides out but not the awning which didn’t matter since the site was shaded by the trees. You will need an extension cord to reach the box if you pull in as we did. Our site had 20, 30 and 50 amp service. A water faucet was located near the site which was nice and the dump station with potable water is located at the entrance to the campground. The site wasn’t perfectly level but that didn’t prove to be a problem. Gravel interior road but dirt sites. We had to use our portable dish to get a satellite signal and we did have good reception on our cellphone and Aircard (Verizon). We enjoyed the peace and quiet during the day and at night. The park was busy on the weekend but returned to “normal” by Sunday afternoon. If you like peace and quiet you’ll love this park. I would have given the park a 10 if they supplied water to each site. Rate is what we paid with our New Mexico annual park pass. Otherwise it’s $14.00 a night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a jewel of a camp ground. Very private, shady, small and peaceful. There is a host on site and the park office is right in the camp ground. Restrooms are clean. There are no showers and no water hookups. Water is available near the dump site and near the restrooms. The grounds are clean. There are no pull thru sites so I did my first ever back into a site. It really wasn't that difficult. If hiking is your thing there are lots of opportunities. The campground has several short and easy hiking trails. The trailheads for Red Canyon and Box Canyon are near by. We didn't have time to take the longer hikes. The park was not crowded--only 5 campers the night I was there. There are no sewer or water hookup and no showers so this park would not be for everyone. We plan to go back and hike the longer trails. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The park is convenient to the highway and close to the railroad. Surprisingly, there was little noise from the frequent trains because the track is seamless. The manager was friendly and very accomodating. The place has few amenities but was comfortable and is a good place to rest for a few days. Sites are all back-in but large enough for any RV. We stayed here in a fifth wheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The reason for the low nightly rate is that we are staying here on a monthly basis. Our last visit here was in June of 2007 and you can read our comments from that visit. Kevin & Ruth (the owners) are terrific, and we just love this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

While this park is not beautiful, it is functional and the price is right. The spaces are wide. There is no other place to camp in the area except the Manzano Mountains State Park. The area around Mountainair is beautiful and about 1.15 hours from Albuquerque. The ruins of the Salinas Valley Pueblos are in the area and hiking trails in the Manzano Mountains. The town itself has limited shopping for groceries. We camped here in a Motorhome.
