Jemez Falls Campsite - Falls at night

Jemez Falls Campsite

81.4 km

We stayed 2 nights during the middle of the week, so there were only 2 other campsites in our loop…read morethat were occupied. We were in Loop 4 spot #46. We loved this spot! We were not on top of any other campers. Spots are well spaced. We had plenty of space for our 32' fifth wheel. The great thing was that we were only about a 3/4 mile easy hike away from the falls. The views were beautiful and it was so quiet! The hosts were all very nice folks! As soon as we got there, they already figured out who we were and escorted us directly to our site! They kept the toilet clean and the sites in order. The garbage cans are secured for bears, but we did not see any! If you happened to have stayed in the same spot as us and you lost a ring, we found it and gave it to the host. We would definitely return to this campground. It was one of the nicest ones we've stayed at and the price can't be beat! Just make sure you have your fresh water tanks filled before you go! And there are no electric hook ups, so make sure you have the generator prepped!

OK, so the campsite itself is actually really good option and very affordable for camping in the…read moreJemez area. The campsite has access to a number of trailhead, including the main trailhead to Jemez Falls and a few of the Hot Springs in the area. During the colder months, they keep the gates closed, so people walk the road to where the trailhead starts. Even in April, where most of the snow has melted they still have the gates closed, and the campsite is not monitored. It really sucks because that extra is not super fun and might kill a little bit of your energy for doing one of the hikes. The Falls Trail is a rather short one but watch out for rock and pinecones. I don't think the Falls are worth a much longer hike. They're pretty small. I really wish they would leave just the access to the Falls open during the day even when the campgrounds themselves are closed. But again at the end of the day, it's free, its nature and definitely worth enjoying. On the camping side of things there is a website and you can make reservations really easily.

Fenton Lake State Park - Camping the last weekend of September!

Fenton Lake State Park

The drive from Santa Fe is nail-biting in spots. 10mph hairpin curves after Los Alamos. Once past…read morethat area, I was able to release my trepidation. The tall pines are beautiful except for the fire damaged areas. The lake is very low. None the less, lots of fishing happening and campers seemed relaxed, enjoying their spot in this peacefully quiet place in nature.

Let me preface by writing lake reviews should be based off of other similar lakes in a general…read moregeographical location. You simply can't compare this little trout lake with say, Lake Superior! Right? So, I haven't been to enough New Mexico fishing lakes to provide an honest assessment. Having that written, it's a nice little lake. Not horrendously far from us city folk in Albuquerque. It has camping spots and is just as accommodating for day use folk as it is for campers. Rather small though, and for the curious, no motorized craft allowed. Just canoes and little blow up guys out there. We went on Father's Day, arrived at about 0730 and we were still hard pressed to lay claim to a good spot. However, by the time we rolled at noon, insane infestation of humans crawling all over, under, and beside one another for a place to cast their line. In fact, as we drove out the forest rangers had the entrance blocked off. It was 100% full! What did that do for the fish catching odds? It ruined it! Or, maybe I'm just a lousy fisherman, IDK. In any case, it wasn't the best day to land that big one. But you know what they say, a bad day of fishing beats a good day at work every time! Give 'em a go, I think you be pleased. Cheers!
