Big Tesuque Campground
About this site
Big Tesuque is a walk in campground not conducive to trailer or RV campoing. There are 10 units, Picnic tables and grills, and Vaulted toilets in the parking lot. There is no potable water and no Campground Host. The entire area is very scenic, and NM 475 is also designated as the Santa Fe Scenic Byway. Because of the large stands of aspen, the area is very busy, especially in the fall aspen viewing season. There are additional recreation opportunities along NM 475, both above and below Big Tesuque Campground, including hiking and biking trails, picnic areas, and in the winter both nordic and alpine skiing. Tesuque is pronounced 'Tess-U-key'. Additional Info: Located at 11,000 feet elevation in Santa Fe National Forest, approximately 12 miles from downtown Santa Fe via NM 475 (Hyde Park Road). North Fork Tesuque Creek runs through the area. Limited to 14 consecutive nights per 30-day period. Open year-round on a first-come, first-served basis.
