Juniper Campground Bandelier National Monument New Mexico

Juniper Overview

Juniper campground  has 57 single-family campsites and is located just inside the entrance to Bandelier National Monument and is a short drive to the visitor center. Five of the campsites are tent-only and there are also 4 group campsites. All single-family campsites are first-come, first-serve. Group campsites can be reserved.

The campground has 3 three loops including Abert’s Squirrel Loop (sites 1-17), Black Bear Loop (18-38), and Coyote Loop (39-57). Most campsites in Albert’s loop are rather small and more suited for tents (although #9 is a pull through). The walk-in tent sites are 34-38 and in the middle of Black Bear loop. Coyote loop has the largest campsites and best suited for larger rigs.

Campground amenities include potable/drinking water (water spigots) and flush toilets.  An RV dump station is also located on the road into the campground. The dump station’s water is turned off during winter (no dumping or water fill from mid-October to mid-April). There’s also a visitor center, picnic area and firewood available for purchase from the camp host. Campsites also have a paved parking pad, table, fire ring and grate. A shuttle bus system operates mid-May to mid-October. Cell service is fair in the area.
