Notice

Please help protect our forest resources by not cutting, chopping, or using axes or hatchets on live trees. Damaging the bark and the living layers underneath harms the tree’s ability to move water and nutrients. Even small cuts can open the tree to insects, disease, and decay. Larger wounds can disrupt the tree’s vascular system entirely, causing it to weaken and eventually die.

We also ask that you do not hammer nails or screws into live trees. Penetrating the bark creates direct pathways for pests and infections, injures the tree’s internal tissues, and can lead to long-term decline or death.

Your cooperation helps keep our recreation areas healthy, safe, and beautiful for everyone. Thank you for doing your part to protect our trees.

Camp spots are very close to each other and since all but me were rv camping, all I heard during the day was generators and talking. At night all I heard was talking and snoring. The spot i was in and those around also had no great spot for a tent. I booked 2 nights and left after 1 because it was to loud, to crowded, and not a comfortable place.

Rained the first day, but after that prefect weather. After the rain the scenery was beautiful!. Very quiet campground we enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Site 46 was blasting music you could hear out to Route 4. They got very hostile when I pointed out it was too loud, and said they could make as much noise as they wanted until 10 pm. Place needs a campground host. Place needs better signage telling campers it’s not Burning Man. I booked 2 nights but stayed one and left next afternoon.

Nice campground with lots of shade. Busy weekend but our sites were tucked towards the back.

We stayed at site 3. It was very secluded and quiet even during Labor Day weekend. The campsite was very clean with a well built picnic table. Restrooms are a short walk away as well. Close to a lot of activities around Jemez and Paisleys Mountain Store is a short drive for little things you make have forgotten. Would stay here again!
