The campground is located just off of SH 4 on the park entrance road. Once you enter the park, there is a sign showing the campground to the right.

Bandillier National Monument

The campsite is within the National Monument and has access to the 33,000 acres of canyon and mesa country and all of the ruins of the ancient people who dwelled here, carving their homes into the soft rock cliffs as well as the many standing stone stacked walls. Too, there are still remains of there petroglyph writings in these rock cliffs.

Awake after sunrise, it was a late night last evening. Soon, I drive up the canyon into Bandelier National Monument, park and begin exploring the ruins. Also interesting is the Spanish style architecture used in the visitor's center and adjacent buildings.

Another unique feature is that the stone homes were built adjacent to a limestone cliff where it would be easy to cut into the cliffs in order to have additional rooms; many of these sandstone rooms are quite elaborate.
