Reviews
Nice trails, and the camping spots look great-well maintained and with sturdy looking shelters for the picnic tables. As a first time visitor coming for just a day it was hard to figure out where to park (visitor center and lodge seem closed for renovations currently) but eventually we found a spot on the side of the road and a trail. Waterfall looks like it would be lovely after some more rain!
New Mexico has some of the cleanest parks I have seen in a lone time. We hiked a short trail to see a cascading waterfall. It was a easy hike and a wonderful time. The state parks cost 5.00 a day make sure you use the self pay station. We saw some people get tickets for not paying.
A nice little state park tucked away in the mountains. Windy road to get there but worth the drive if you want a quiet get away Reserve sites of all types available or some first come first serve sites as well. Crisp air in the fall makes for some great gifts. Be sure to bring water or something to fill up at this potable water locations. Most of all ... have fun!
Once again, being new to the RV life and driving Class C. These sites were a bit difficult to either maneuver into or to get myself leveled. I did not stay at Hyde but enjoyed one night in a "special" spot for people who need someplace to stay for the night. If you're good at driving, backing and parking...this is a great spot for you! Not so much for us new to the roaders! 😂
I did the East Circle trail that connects to the Piggyback trail. It's about a 1 mile trail with nice scenery. There's some construction right after you start the Piggyback trail so it's confusing which way it goes. I ended up taking the campground road and made it to the visitor's center. The campgrounds are well kept and clean. There's a volleyball area as well as a playground. Several bathrooms available on the Piggyback trail. There's also several tables and seating available to eat a snack. The trail wasn't busy so my dogs loved it! I visited in early October, the color in the trees haven't changed.
I somehow didn't know this park existed until recently, and it is a Top 5 park for me. So. Beautiful!
Lots of sledding opportunities on the first week of the new year! Pay $5 for parking and haul your tubes, sleds, etc. up behind the rental cabin, and take off downhill! If you don't run into Trooper, the black lab, you haven't spent enough time there.
I appreciate a campground that has reservation options and first come first serve options.
If you're looking for a place to get away and feel completely disconnected, this is the perfect spot. Where it's located in the mountain range it gets absolutely no signal, so you can truly focus on being in the moment with no distractions.
