This was our first time with the new reservation system and we got in after dark. Timmothy the camp host was so friendly and informative. The traffic through the campground was minimal and we had absolutely no complaints. The spots were clean and easily accessible. The bathroom were very clean as well. The walking path behind the campground was also nice. Being close to the Valles Caldera was amazing and Paisley’s store came in handy when important breakfast foods were forgotten. LOL. We can’t wait to come back!
