Recommended Lodging
Yurts At Hyde Memorial State Park
Connect with the heart of nature in Hyde Memorial State Park's ponderosa pine mountain forest, where three yurts provide a unique lodging experience that's rooted in an ancient nomadic tradition. Each yurt contains six single beds that can be grouped together in various configurations. Kick back in your outside activity area, with a fire ring, dining table and food safe, to keep the critters away. Vault toilets and water are just a short walk away.

Park your RV, pitch your tent or relax in a camping cabin, surrounded by the beauty of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. You may spot a hummingbird or two while you're staying at Santa Fe KOA Campgrounds, just a short drive from downtown Santa Fe.
