Beautiful scenery, a quiet natural setting, and easy access make Hyde Memorial State Park a favorite picnic area, campground, respite, and base camp for excursions into the surrounding Santa Fe National Forest.
Nature of the Area
Located in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the park is vegetated with dense stands of evergreens, as well as aspen and shrubs. As a natural refuge for wildlife, the park provides the opportunity for the quiet and cautious visitors to view deer, raccoon, fox, coyote, squirrels, porcupine, and numerous species of butterflies and birds.
dusty, noisy, park authorites are demanding and not friendly. Not well managed. stay next door at Black Canyon it is very nice, friendly and so clean! We use Black Canyon frequently and unlike Hyde have never had a bad experience.
September 3Ok to just spend the night by traveltrailer
The drive there had pretty trees but the trailer/rv campgrounds were nothing to write home about, very steep entrance to sites so watch out if you have a low trailer or rv. During the time we were there the water taps were chained up without notice or any signs why. Later found out water may have been unsafe.

If you enjoy the commotion of any large urban city you will love this park. Traffic rumbles past your campsite within 100 feet or less 24 hours a day on a major road to the Santa Fe Ski Area.
When we camped, we clocked about 300 cars per hour during the day, at night about 20 cars per hour.
Children screaming at the top of their lungs with no parental supervision, rowdy parties until 1:00am will make you feel like you are in the middle of Times Square. Very few clean bathroom facilities just adds to the charm of the park.
Rangers respond to complaints with blank stares.

Had an exilerating hike up the loop trail, steep but satisfying.
