Go if

Summer weekenders from Santa Fe or Los Alamos who want a cool basecamp near Valles Caldera and don't mind hauling in their own water. Daytime highs in the 60s-70s and ponderosa shade make the site genuinely comfortable; Trail 137 is close.

Skip if

No potable water on site is a hard stop for campers who can't or won't pack it all in. First-come-first-served means no guarantee on busy summer weekends, though that changes to reservations in 2026.
