News From Rancheros de Santa Fe Campground

(Hear our local nuthatch)

While much snow snow is still on the peaks above town, the campground is greening-up nicely. Another sure sign of spring, the buzz of hummingbirds is in the air. Despite the higher gas prices, our spring traffic has remained strong, and the average length of stay has increased. Because Santa Fe has so much to offer visitors, our guests would rather be sightseeing around town than driving all over the country. Plus, to make it less painful to get here we are offering a $10 GAS COUPON to be redeemed upon your arrival.

We continue to offer our FREE high-speed wireless internet service. We also offer a free dial-up modem and cable modem connection in our store.

Our campers tell us that Rancheros de Santa Fe is like camping in a national forest, but with all the amenities. This is no asphalt parking lot! We've taken a lot of measures to provide for a safe and enjoyable camping experience, while preserving our native plants and trees, and dark star-filled skies. We are an environmentally-friendly campground that voluntarily re-cycles wastewater for drip irrigation,  and plastic and aluminum trash. View campground map.

Early in the American Civil War, part of the Battle of Glorieta Pass was fought in Apache canyon, a mile south of the campground. You can see part of the battlefield from our hiking trail. The original Santa Fe Trail passed through the canyon behind the campground.

We are located on Historic Route 66 (1926-1937), just a short, scenic drive southeast from Old Town Santa Fe.  See our Directions page for details

We look forward to seeing you this season. Happy trails!
