Yes it is desert, but I liked the dry breeze after dark, and the view of the stars was awesome! As was mentioned earlier, not the easiest place to find for out-of-towners, so pay attention.

We didn't do the bounce house stuff, and I believe there is a fee to partake in that. There is a $5 fee to park, but this is good for both the Blue Hole and the Park Lake areas.

Really wonderful park in heart of Santa Fe for young, old, 2 and 4 legged. Big playground area with…read moreplenty to climb and run around. Also a unique series of nicely landscaped trails with plenty of benches. Big grassy areas for picnic, and several tables as well. Well done! The parking lot was a bit hard to find. It's on a short narrow road - Callejon- off of Paseo de Peralta. It's a small road, easily missed. It's like an alley behind a big building, parallel to the railroad tracks. If you miss it, turn into Camino de la Familia (next turn onto another small road but more visible) - there is a paid lot there with access to the park. Both my dog and I enjoyed this park!

Some of the slides are literally gone, while others could not be used because the ground is too far from the bottoms. Some of the toddler area interactive objects are cute and fun, but altogether it seems like things have gone long forgotten here. Parking is one dollar an hour. All of the rope climbing stuff looks cool, but my kids are kind of young for that.

This lake (to those from New Mexico to others it maybe a pond) is big enough that you don't feel crowded. The water on a clear day is like glass. You can tear it up on a jet ski! The camp sites range from being able to rent it all they way to bringing your most luxurious RV. There is something for everyone. For the clamper camper there is a bathroom and shower place. It is the prefect getaway for a long weekend. Who would not want to spend the day on the lake and an evening under the stars. The only down side is there is not a lot of shade so make sure you pack a lot of sun screen. Being those sun shades as well. "Here fishy, fishy" that's right not only can you jet ski, wakeboard, and water ski but the fishing is pretty good. Tons of places to fish. There are a variety of fish from Bass to Walleye. Bring your fishing poles and gear. It most likely will pay off. Pack up the family and enjoy the fun. Make sure you bring cash. There is a charge per vehicle at the campsites. You can always phone a friend and ride together.

I just wanted to take a minute to give a hats off to The Northside Cafe at Conchas Lake Marina…read more The service was as outstanding as the food. I ordered the beef steak fajitas, I would have to truly say they were the best fajitas I have ever eaten. The meat was tender and seasoned to perfection, with fresh grilled peppers and onions. The restaurant was clean, fresh and full of friendly life. It is well worth the drive from Albuquerque. Once again.....Hats off!! Tom Keller

Golly, what a nice state park - and what an easy drive from either Albuquerque or Santa Fe…read more Nice campsites and impeccably well kept trails. Two moderate and reasonably short trails (up the canyon sides and around on top - both under 2 miles total) and one easy one (along. the river, an out-and-back just over half a mile long). Lovely views on every trail. Nice employees. $5/car for day use. You'll fill out a ticket, stick your fiver in an envelope and shove it into one of those posts with a slit (on pain of a citation). It's well worth it. Villanueva is easily accessed from either Albuquerque or Santa Fe. Beyond that, follow the state park signs that are easily visible on the road and not your Google Maps if you want the least adventurous last mile on your way in (Google will cut off some driving, but you'll be on a one-lane barely improved gravel road that sometimes washes out). Bear in mind, you're climbing over sandstone and you'll want boots with ankle support and good tread for safety. You'll want to keep an eye out for rattlesnakes at the appropriate times and places and I noted a bear track today so keep your kids and dogs close. People who are freaked out by heights might not dig the views or the climb up the canyon walls, but there's no place where you're in danger of falling off. However, you're most definitely in danger of turning an ankle if you're not paying attention, so pay attention! Bonus tips: Villanueva State Park is a great place for a picnic or to bring fit tourists on a half-day adventure. Starting in Albuquerque, you can easily go out I-40 and loop back on I-25, stopping in Santa Fe for lunch or supper. Villanueva is also pretty close to Las Vegas, NM, and there are definitely things there worth checking out (and good places to eat).
