I stayed here for the night. It was a very quiet and awesome spot to hang out. I will certainly be going back to this campground to spend more time. Great views and plenty of hiking. Facilities were clean with bathrooms, fire pits, shaded picnic tables, and bear lockers.

I really enjoyed it in NM, was a bummer to be passing through. I will certainly be going back.

Pretty place.Me and Vic stayed at the NRA place for a couple of days several years ago.

Not sure where that is but if it's like this, I'd want to visit. Disappointed I didn't get to spend more time there, but I'll be back.

NM has a lot of fine state parks. Non-residents can get an annual pass for $225, good for any park, use it as much as you want. If you're going to spend more than 23 days at their various parks, it's cheaper than paying by the day. However, if you want to use campsites with electricity, you need to to pay the extra daily charge.

Awesome that's good to know.
