We love camping here during the NMLRA shoot. We also set up as vendors selling tie dyes, leathers, and handmade native American jewelry. I've been coming to this campground for 30 yrs through 3 owners. The new owners have a few kinks to figure out, like the timing of emptying the only 2 port-a-pots in the campground and getting the trash emptied once it is full. But besides those things, they are doing an awesome job! Maybe putting up more port-a-pots and putting out more trash receptacles throughout the campground would help keep everything clean and take the pressure off of everyone going up to the bath house to use that instead of the full port-a-pots. That's just my 2 cents. I'll continue to come here to see all of my favorite people in the world for years to come.
Good flea market, don't know anything about campground or event hall, but campground did look packed. Vendors offer typical items, food trailers, and area was clean.
Ultra friendly people. Very nice place to camp. Awesome music and great time. I can't wait to go back!
Had the perfect spot this time! I've been going to this campground since I was a kid and will take my grandkids when my kids give me some:)
Great place to camp for the spring and fall shoot. Walking distance to the tavern
