Camping		Cottonwood RV Park in Espanola which is about 25 miles north of Santa Fe. Tent site is an open area with a pit for a campfire for $15 per night. The campground is dirt, but enough room for a dozen tents. The facilities are very good and clean. The road between the hotel and campground is a good divided road with 2 lanes each direction.
