The park is very nice. Enjoyed a quiet ride up the mountain. The public picnic areas were cleaned and well maintained. A very nice enjoyable place. $3 vehicle fee for day use of picnic areas.

3rd year to book it for a group camping trip. I definitely like the Jay site better than robin for tent camping. There are more designated spots. Both sites have a huge pavilion and tons of tables and a large fire ring. Jay has about 7 obvious rent sites, but more could fit. One site you can drive your vehicle into as well. No water, no electricity. Fine restrooms. Lots of charcoal grills. Great s... 3rd year to book it for a group camping trip. I definitely like the Jay site better than robin for tent camping.

Great site for a medium group that is close enough to town that people can join for the day.

Fantastic site, beautiful surroundings. Hearing the coyotes and bugs all night was glorious. Spending time with friends and family and having a great time together made it well worth the weekend. The staff we met were amazing and friendly. Thanks, Sandia Ranger District!
