Campground suggestions near Santa Fe

[DC_MC]

Don’t really need to be close to town. We have a few days to kill and don’t really want to pay 40 something a night, lol. Don’t need hookups but we do have a 40’ mh so we need room. From here we are going NE. Found a COE at Cochiti Lake but then it said no dogs on the beach. Hard to camp at a lake and not let our Labrador swim. Anyway. Please give some suggestions in NE New Mexico or SW colorado. COE or something we can use our Golden Age card would be great. Seems like we never find a place to use them

We have stayed at Santa Fe Skies RV Park and Cochiti. The choice for us is the time of year (we snowbird in S. NM) and whether we need a FHU site.

All of the Forest Service campgrounds in SW Colorado honor the senior pass. A couple I can recommend are McPhee Reservoir Recreation Complex near Mesa Verde NP, Haviland Lake and Junction Creek cgs near Durango, and Cayton cg south of Telluride, all with 30/50A electric hookups, water faucets, and a dump (although McPhee's dump is closed this year).

For more info on camping along US 160 and US 550, including the cgs mentioned here, see my blog HERE.

If you end up towards Taos I think you can boondock at the ski area for up to 14 days, from there up to Co is about a hours drive, not sure where you were exactly talking about. In Sante Fe we used the Trailer Park Ranch but it was in town but a nice place/

Tetilla Peak campground is on the other side of the lake from the COE campground. We did not ride over to take a look at it but it is on tribal lands and may have different rules then Cochiti. Then again it may just be part of Cochiti.

I'd stay at Cochiti and use your pass. It's a wonderful place & easy drive to Santa Fe.

Browse this site for suggestions. Note that on the left hand side are some nearby towns to click on, also.

I understand that Cochiti is pretty well booked up for the summer. I think they do have some non reservation sites if no one else has claimed them. Some dry camping spots too. Have you looked at freecampsites.net for possible boondocking, city, county parks, fairgrounds or anything else in the area?

We stay at the Roadrunner RV park nothing fancy but has large pull through site. We make use of the casino in the area most have good buffets.
