Santa Cruz Lake Camping - Overlook Campground

Thirty miles north of Santa Fe, New Mexico, the snow-fed waters of the Rio del Medio and the Rio Frijoles begin a 2,000-mile journey and a 7,000-foot descent to the Gulf of America. For a time they gather at Santa Cruz Lake at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains near Chimayo, behind the 125-foot Santa Cruz Dam. The scenic lake offers boating, fishing, hiking and camping.
Join me for camping at the Overlook Campground on the south side of the lake. There is room for 3 or 4 small tents per site and extra car parking for $5 per car. It is first come, first serve, so I am planning on going up on Thursday to save some sites. Let me know what day/time you plan on arriving.
DIRECTIONS: About 30 miles northeast of Santa Fe. From Santa Fe: take US 84/285 N to NM 503 in Pojoaque. Turn right onto NM 503 and continue on the scenic 'High Road' towards Chimayo. Pass CR 98 which turns left to Chimayo and continue on NM 503; first you will see the Overlook Campground turnoff on the left. The first 4 sites on the left are the ones I will try to save.
