Great place to camp and relax many different camp spots and affordable prices. Spots with hookups for campers and such and really cool spots that are primitive. Some only have vault toilets but the ones with gazebos have water. Love this place

Very nice campground. Federal, so you can use a senior pass. One restroom has water and heat. A couple of vault toilets. Pretty trail on one end. No showers. No cellphone or Internet access. A few sites have water and electricity.

Small developed BLM campground. Was not what I expected. Across the the road from the Rio Grande River. A mile and a half down 570 off of Hyw 68. RV sites have water and electric, 20A/30A/50A. A few covered tables. Restrooms. One handicap site. A camp host on site. This is NOT a free camp. It is one of two developed BLM locations in the area. RV sites are $15 per night and tent sites are $7. Well worth it. Good views, quite. Cons, for me: the road to the location is a little narrow for larger rigs (mine 35' 5th wheel) and insects (ants/mosquitoes). Pros, convenient location traveling between Toas and Santa Fe; cheaper than private camps; good location for rafting trips. I did not see a dump station.

Beautiful and well kept area, very popular and was packed with folks so get there early to get a good spot. The bathrooms were fairly clean (for a campground at least lmao) and had tp and soap.
