Juniper Campground Loop A

It’s a nice campground with plenty of sites that are reservable or first come first serve. Hiking trails start out of the campground and one leads down to the Bandelier visitor’s center. There is shuttle bus service that will take you there also. I stayed two weeks in a first come first serve site. The site are small and not very level with the road very narrow.

Hiking trails start out of the campground and one leads down to the Bandelier visitor’s center. There is shuttle bus service that will take you there also. I stayed two weeks in a first come first serve site. The site are small and not very level with the road very narrow. I had a hard time getting set up with a 38 foot camper and had to park my truck elsewhere. I still gave it 5 stars because of the location

Nice place to camp. Neighbors were on top of me because they put their RV off their site onto the dirt even though the "rules" say it's not allowed. Claims to be a dark sky park but bathroom lights are blazing all night. Camp host is nice but not sure what she does other than socialize. Doesn't enforce the rules or clean the bathrooms. Tried to buy an interagency annual pass but entrance boot... Nice place to camp.

We stayed here for 3 nights in mid-May 2024, using it as a base for exploring Bandelier National Monument and the surrounding area. Our site was near one the restroom with running (cold) water. There is a sink conveniently located outside the restroom for dish washing. The restroom is well-stocked and clean.

We stayed here for 3 nights in mid-May 2024, using it as a base for exploring Bandelier National Monument and the surrounding area. Our site was near one the restroom with running (cold) water. There is a sink conveniently located outside the restroom for dish washing. The restroom is well-stocked and clean. We had originally reserved site #20 but could not use it as it the driveway was too much of a slope for our camper-van, so we moved to site #12 in the non-reservable section. With daytime temperatures in the mid-70°s and low-50°s in the morning, it was a pleasant time of the year to stay here. We hiked the easy, 1-1/2 mile Frijoles Canyon overlook trail loop from the campground, providing a scenic view this area of the park. Highly recommended!
