Jemez Falls Campground is very beautiful, and the falls itself is a short walk from the back of the campground, loop 4. I had site 49, $68 for 3 nights. At the falls itself, there is an opportunity to hike to the bottom of the falls as well as the top, looking over, and this hike connects with other trails in the area, notably the East Fork Jemez River trail that terminates at the Las Conchas trailhead
