Bandelier National Monument, 15 Entrance Road
Los Alamos, NM 87544
Bandelier National Monument protects over 33,000 acres of ruggedly beautiful canyon and mesa country. Petroglyphs, dwellings carved into the soft rock cliffs, and standing masonry walls pay tribute to the early days of a culture that still survives in the surrounding communities.

Bandelier is in a remote location, with cell service in the canyon limited to Verizon 4G only. Services like Uber and Lyft will bring you here, but there may be no way to contact a ride out. Please plan your pickup before being dropped off at Bandelier.

A lovely spot and facilities well maintained. My only negative observation is the RV sites were very sloped and to carry lots of blocks for leveling. Bandelier National Monument is fascinating! We participated in a ranger lead walk that was excellent!

We appreciated the heated bathrooms as the weather had turned cold and rainy. The food storage boxes were clean and secure.

This one was a pleasant surprise to us. Wish we had planned for a longer stay. Don’t miss the self guided cliff dwellings walk and great elk burgers.

Be extra careful choosing your site!! I chose the only pull-thru for my 21' trailer and it was no piece of cake getting set up. When they say "may be unlevel" they aren't kidding!! Otherwise, it's a great campground.
