Paliza Group Campground

Dharma Fuller

Only downside was no water. Beautiful area, remote, bit hard to find without GPS, no cell service unless Verizon & that barely. But that's the idea, right? Toilets clean and well stocked, no water or electricity. Great flat areas to camp with parking, pavilion gathering area is large. Each site has its own fire pit & tables. Camp hosts are delightful, helpful, welcoming folks. Good hiking and lots to explore on foot. Yes, wildlife, so keep foodstuffs locked in vehicles at night - NOT YOUR TENT. Star scape is impressive. ~40 min to closest market for ice, etc. I'll go again!

The views are fantastic!! It's a group site that is inexpensive enough to rent for yourself. Multiple gates make it safe. There are 8 vault toilets that are cleaned daily. The big loop has a great pavilion with an outside area to gather large groups. It has a large family grill and an outside counter area for food prep and serving. Bears, deer and elk are common visitors. A cool stream at the entrance offers some relief for sore feet after hiking the sand cliffs and tall Ponderosa pine forest. It's a great place to mingle with the Ancients.

This is a great group campground. Very clean, well taken care of, and super close to Rio Rancho/ABQ area. We stayed at the Owl Loop. We had ~50 people. They have a beautiful pavilion covering some very nice picnic tables. And they have a large outdoor group fire pit. Every site has beautiful picnic tables, a fire pit, and a place to put a tent. The RV spots have 2 picnic tables and also a place to put a tent. The only issue I had was the ground for the tent spots is almost impossible to put a tent stake deeper than about an inch and a half. I had to use a steel nail spike as a pile hole, driven in with a driver hammer. Which I was lucky one if the other group camera had, otherwise I would never had been able to stake in our tent. Beautiful location and site. Stayed June 21-23.

Beautiful, well kept campground among the tall pines. Each site is spacious and has a picnic table, fire ring and grill. Our site was next to a charming brook that we could hear at night. Love the new policy of no generators in certain sites (23-30). For us tent campers, the peace was very welcome. Great Idea! Get here early cause all sites were gone by Friday afternoon and bring your own water. There are three vault toilets spread throughout the campground and each was very clean. Great place for a getaway! Highly recommend.

Very nice campground. The spots are nicely spaced out for decent privacy. The old shelters are amazing. Almost like a rustic cabin hotel.The bathrooms are immaculately maintained. It's very quiet and peaceful. Camp ground host Steve is well meaning if not a little overbearing.
