We camped here with 3 other Care-A-Vanners with Habitat for Humanity for a build in Santa Fe. The sites at the Rodeo grounds are very basic. We were parked backing up to the bleachers. It was fine but if you are looking for something nice this is not it. If you are looking for value this is good. In Santa Fe this location is a good value. $15 per night is hard to find anywhere else. You may need an extra 15 feet of water hose and two sewer hoses depending on where your site it. I would camp here again. It is more secure than a Wall-Mart parking lot and has a locking gate which are a plus.
The restrooms and shower were cleaned a couple times a week, but the cobwebs and bugs were quick. Not all sites were level. It took us 3 times, but we found one that was fine. There appeared to be many open sites so it was pretty easy to find one. The camp hosts did not mention the gate closes at 10:00 so we had a 2 1/2 mile walk from the front gate to our site. The signs were posted, but we were newbies and were more concerned about other info. They views and serenity of the campsites were very nice. We would probably go back again, but it did not quite have the 'it' factor.
This campground was over priced. A lot of money for no sewer. It was a major inconvenience. We had to pull up the jacks and unplug every few days, and it was a hassle. The staff were not very helpful. In fact it seemed they were looking for ways to nail you as they patrolled the parking lot. It was not good. The overall location and the park were fine although overpriced. The sites were OK. I would not use this campground again.
We camped here because it was close to our old house. We moved out of a house in Fairfax and stayed here in order to finish up work and say good bye to friends. It is a beautiful park, the location is great and the neighbors were good. However --- it was outrageously priced for no sewer and no water. Plus, the staff don't seem to get it. They offered no information about the park itself or trails nearby or other information when we checked in. They also did not forewarn us that park personnel would go through the campground at least 3 times a day looking for those sites with a second vehicle. We did not know that they needed to be parked 200 yds away in the parking lot instead of near the campsite. The common theme among the campers were how badly this place has been managed; no concern for the campers...only obeying dumb rules. One camper had to move his RV 3 spaces because someone had his site reserved for the weekend. His comment, "these people have beat me down over the years, I just do what they tell me to do. Apparently they don't have an eraser to put the weekender in the other site." Nuff said-- you get my drift.
