★★★★★Tami ClarkI had an amazing time during craft retreat! The staff are incredible, they go out of their way to accommodate your needs and get to know you. They work very hard long hours and yet greet you with a smile. The camp is set in one of God's most beautiful places. There's a pond and stream to fish at (with a NM fishing license). Can't wait to go back.
★★★★★Dominic SedilloI recently went here as a Men's Retreat for the church I attend and it was so refreshing and relaxing. The site is beautiful and the Staff went above and beyond to welcome us and make us feel comfortable. I can't wait to return there again one day hopefully. I HIGHLY recommend.
★★★★★Franklin SmithMy family loves this place! Beautiful country, great hikes, and the staff are top notch! If you're looking for an opportunity for rest and relaxation this is definitely it!
★★★★★Nate BartnickThe best camp in New Mexico for amazing trails to see the wonders of God's Beautiful Creation. There creek that flows through the camp and there is a private pond. Upstream the Canyon has towering cliffs, small waterfalls, nice bridges and editable berries. The hike up to Hermit Peak is very rewarding. The campus is a great place for social distancing during the covid pandemic. The staff keeps everything sanitized. My family camped here in a tent. The restrooms were very clean. There is a small park for children, free WiFi, fishing pond, basketball court, sand volleyball, horse shoes and a gaga ball pit. During non-pandemic times there is also a dinning facility, paintball, low ropes, high ropes, and a zip line... When this pandemic is over, it is a wonderful place for student and adult camps. I was very blessed during a men's retreat here. The staff is very friendly and is very helpful. It is very safe here the campus is gated.
★★★★★Sylvester PeguesThis place was so amazing. The staff was very helpful. The grounds were we kept. I enjoyed the silence and fresh air and beauty of this site. I am not super into camping but this place is worth visiting
