Turquoise Trail Campgrounds

Amazing place to stay! The people at this campground were so nice, and I was amazed by all the amenities here, especially the sink with soap and sponges for dishwashing. We drove over from Phoenix for the solar eclipse, and they told us that we could watch the whole thing from our campsite, which we didn't know, but we ended up doing that and it was amazing. The location, the suggestions from management, and coupons to local businesses in the area all make this place a must-stay, whether you are in an RV or tent or would like a cabin. They have it all, and I would definitely return here.

We journeyed from the heart of Michigan, our original plan being a rustic weekend under the canvas of our trusty tent. However, the bite of the chill air on our arrival, coupled with the encroaching darkness, led us to a different decision. We opted to embrace a cozier retreat, opting for a charming cabin rental. This delightful dwelling became our haven for the entire weekend.

The cabin, adorned with quaint charm, welcomed us warmly, setting the stage for a truly enchanting experience. Throughout our stay, we reveled in its comforts and coziness. Pristine cleanliness graced the bathroom and showers, contributing to our overall sense of well-being. The people we encountered, those stewards of this rustic haven, exhibited nothing but the utmost friendliness and hospitality, making us feel like cherished guests. The campground itself maintained impeccable standards of cleanliness, a testament to its caretakers' dedication.

In this serene and tranquil setting, the cacophony of city life faded into distant memory, replaced by a soothing symphony of nature's own making. If you seek an exceptional escape, an oasis of serenity, I implore you to explore The Turquoise Trail Campground. Nestled in the embrace of Albuquerque, New Mexico's scenic beauty, it stands as a paragon of excellence among its peers.

Absolutely beautiful location. New owner helped me find a spot and he was very welcoming. Woman at desk was fantastic!
Road heading up there was rough, lots of potholes so be careful not to bottom out. Peaceful nights sleep. Sights are level and spacious.
Some suggestion- Your nice sign on road needs to have turquoise color on it. Sign for lower loop needs to be before the turn. Have a list of restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
If I travel this way again, I will be back.

Tent-camped for two nights during Balloon Fiesta. Good Wi-Fi. Campground and bathrooms were very clean with hot showers and very good toilet papers. Needed paper towels by the sinks. Very very nice people. I’ll take my whole family and friends next time I visit.

Very nice park, good on-site amenities. Shower laundry Etc. The showers are communal and the door to the bathroom cannot be locked. Stayed in a space with no sewer hookup but we were able to dump on our way out. Close to Albuquerque and Edgewood. Some great local restaurants within a few minutes drive.

A very nice and quiet campground. Only a few minutes over the mountain to Albuquerque and you would never know. The 7,000ft elevation has the breeze always at a gentle blow. Everyone here is friendly and I have been here over a month (travel for work) and have not seen anyone have an issue. It’s safe, clean and beautiful scenery. If you need to camp near Albuquerque, this is the place to be!

This is an RV and tent camping campground. Super friendly and helpful staff. In a secluded, treed area with fairly level graveled RV sites, both back in and pull thru. Tent area away from RV area. Bathrooms and laundry available. Some elec and water only sites available. A sewer dump site is available close to entrance. Very reasonable rates.

We had a really long day and a very long trip. The lady who checked us in. Steve way up late into the night. She guided us into our parking area in her own car. The next morning after we checked out. She called us to make sure we got enough rest and that we were happy with our stay. This past trip we put over 5000 miles on our camper and truck. And stayed at many campgrounds. This is by far the best place we’ve ever stayed at. I would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend this place.

Beautiful place to camp or rent a cabin! The late-night lights-off policy isn't for everyone, however, and the restrictions on burning charcoal instead of wood also might not appeal to all types of campers. But if these details don't affect you, it's a great deal for a lovely place to overnight at.

Stayed there a couple of yrs ago on my motorhome. Very nice. Booked it for next couple of weeks for a few days had to cancel one of my groups RV’s. No problem. Then had to change dates, no problem, then when my motorhome broke down on the way had to cancel all together. Absolutely no probem. Very accommodating patient and understanding. Thanks much. See ya next time.

Quite, affordable, and friendly. Both old owners and the new one. Looking forward to the changes to come.

This campground has become our go-to place when we visit Albuquerque, and we've been here 4 or 5 times in the past year or so. The staff is friendly and very accommodating, going out of their way to find us sites or make changes when we've had unexpected medical issues that have changed our plans. The RV sites are spacious enough and many have full hookups. Perched in the Sandia Mountains, it's pretty up there, quiet, and about 15-20 minutes to Albuquerque, depending on traffic. There are a few restaurants and other businesses nearby also. Also affordable, considering that it's close to a city.

This place was great. We didn’t have a reservation, as we were driving across the country and weren’t sure exactly when we’d arrive, but we pulled in on an afternoon and were told that they no longer had RV spots available. However, we were in a very small camper and they accommodated our staying there anyway and allowed us to park out front with no hookups (we didn’t care; just wanted a place to sleep). Honestly, it was great; we were away from a lot of the other RVs and this allowed for a little bit of privacy, plus it was super close to the restroom/shower. They also accommodated our friends who were staying in tents and basically only charged us for tent spots. I’d stay here again; they were so nice to us.

This place is an absolute gem. Very quiet and actually feels like camping. We stayed for six months through the heart of winter and never had a single problem. The staff were absolutely awesome. Kevin the grounds keeper was so nice and so very thoughtful. Linda and here sweet dog were so genuine. Snowed several times and it was always plowed out by 6 am. Sledding and skiing was a quick 20 min drive up the Sandia Crest and the Local brewery had the BEST brick oven pizza we've ever had. This is the Park we compare all other to. No real amenities but the staff and scenery more than made up for it. We can't wait to go back!!!

We enjoyed our quick one night stay here. The host was very friendly and the grounds were clean with room to roam. They had fun swings for my little guy to enjoy. It was a nice, quiet atmosphere. We'd definitely go back!

This is a wonderful RV/Campground with extremely friendly staff. We felt so welcome like we were life long friends with Autumn from the first phone call to the park intro/reg. I wish all places we stayed at had someone like Autumn.

It's tucked back away from the highway so not much noise can be heard but close enough that you can get back on the road in just mere minutes in the morning. I camped only one night but we really enjoyed the ample space you are given from other campers, especially for an RV/Campground mix. Other campers were all courteous and respectful. Staff and campers were also all respectful in regards to Covid, masks were worn and social distance was in play, we felt completely safe.

The only small complaints I might have is that our campground had a bit of trash that we had to pick up before we settled in. And the 5 minute showers would not be enough time if we didn't have extra tokens. Maybe even just a few minutes more like 8 minutes in total would be enough. But we understand this is due to water restrictions.

However for the price this is a perfect place and if we are ever in the area again, we would definitely stay without hesitation.

Recommended.

We booked our reservation only a couple of days before we we planned to arrive, during Balloon Fiesta, and were warmly welcomed. The woman on the phone (Tammy i believe), was incredible. She offered fabulous directions and she was so excited for us to be coming. When we arrived, we were given the opportunity to choose our campsite since we had arrived so early. The campsite was immaculate. Scenery was gorgeous. The restrooms were clean and well maintained. We absolutely loved the campgrounds. Check the wind advisory when heading to Cedar Crest, it can get crazy! It was relentless all weekend. But camp here and you'll still have a wonderful trip.

I cannot rave highly enough about this location and about the hosts who run it. Exemplary hospitality. I rolled in last month on a long cross country road trip. I was utterly exhausted and in need of a place to recoup and rest for a few days. Although they were full, they found a way to accommodate me, and I could tell they did so out of genuine compassion and kindness. The place was quiet and peaceful, the scenery beautiful, and the showers hot. Everything was very clean and well kept, too. It was just the retreat and reset I needed, and I am still so grateful for their hospitality. It was a memorable part of my journey, and one of my favorite memories of my time through New Mexico.

We stayed during the Balloon festival. The staff on the phone was great at getting our reservation for a camping spot and answering all of our questions. It was very quite and peaceful. The grill provided was a bit small but we got our hot dogs cooked on it.
Set up camp and left for the day to attend the balloon festival. No one bothered our campsite or anything we had while we where gone. Bathrooms were nice and could probably use an update but not a huge deal. Dumpsters and recycling bins where available too. Would definitely camp here again.

Turquoise trail campground is a perfect place to get out of town and relax outdoors. If you are from Albuquerque it is close enough for a quick trip but far enough out of town to leave your everyday worries behind.

The amenities are amazing in that they have hot water showers, well kept bathrooms, and even a wash basin for dishes. There are even swings for if you have kiddos!

The host, Autumn, was incredibly nice and very helpful. I would recommend this campsite to anyone.

Only one downside potential is that the sites are quite close to each other and so if you are hoping to be totally isolated then this might be a turn off for you.
