Oasis State Park — Oasis State State Park

Indian Grass CG on Oasis SP in New Mexico: (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good

(71 yr olds in 17’ trailer.)

Overall Rating: 5 for the excellent campground layout Price 2023: $14 for electric, $10 for non-electric Security: No gates. Usage during visit: 40%. I heard this was recently packed due to a nearby fishing tournament. Site Privacy: No vegetation offering privacy. However, the excellent layout gives each site the best privacy that can be offered in a open grassland setting Site Spacing: Great Pad surface: Gravel Reservations: There are ff sites and reservation only sites. Reservation only sites are well marked. Reservations can be made at the campground for the reservation sites if they are open by getting on line. To avoid the $4 reservation fee for just one night and seeing ahead of time there were plenty of reservation only sites available we took an ff site upon arrival. Campground Noise: Quiet. Outside Road Noise: None Through Traffic in campground: None Electric Hookup: Yes. I think the I dian Grass loop is all electric. Sewer Hookup: No Dump Station: Yes Potable Water Available: At site Bathroom: Flush toilets. Newer Showers: Timer does only allows for short duration water flow. Inconvenient and being cold weather with only moderately warm water the shower experience was ‘dampened’. Pull Throughs: Many Cell Service (AT&T): 2 bars Setting: Prairie view Recent Weather: unseasonably (I am told) cold. Insects: None Host: On-site. Rig Size: Large rigs can be accommodated. Sites: 29 is the absolute best. All are great. 24-29 offer the deepest views into the prairie.I anticipate these will offer the best sunrises.

Looks like there has been some significant investments in the park. New bathrooms and showers, the path around the lake is in great shape and even on this cool and windy day, there were a lot of people fishing. The electric spots are off from the main park a bit but we'll laid out with space between them. Would. Be very exposed in the summer without nearly enough shade but for now, works great. Not much to do except fish as the trails are pretty short and very sandy.

Wonderful, small campground in one of New Mexico’s State Parks. You can fish in the Oasis Pond, kids can play at the playground at this secluded spot. Nice campsites, will fit the larger RVs, water and electric at most sites. Great price, I’d stay here again. Great dark sky for stargazing and photography! Watch your pets, a pack of coyotes came through camp the night I stayed there.

Drove all day to get here. Found reservations were easily made, so we spent the night...well we're preparing. Covered table and nice parking pads. Bathroom is right across the street. It is hot, but it is July. Overall, not the best place I've ever stayed, but I can see myself staying here again.

It really is an oasis. First class facilities and roads are good. Would stay longer if we could.

What a great and underrated campground. We had a pull through site with power and water. The sunset was incredible. We stayed for just one night to get some rest and for the price, you can’t beat it.

This is a very nice state park out on the plains. Beautiful bathrooms. Roomy drive thru campsites.

You must make reservations online! There is no one at office building for check in or questions. We had our suv with our roof top tent which fit the site fine. Our site was a pull through with picnic table and pavilion, water, electric and a charcoal grill which you could not use. NO FIRES were aloud. You were aloud to use portable propane stoves. The site seemed to be small but clean. Although the park it’s self, was not impressing. Not much to do nor see. The bathroom and shower facilities seemed newly built and they were clean, the weird thing was they did not provide hand soap which I didn’t like. Coyotes were howling at night. We saw a lot of deer. It was a okay place to stay for one night but probably wouldn’t return in the future.

Sites are spaced well, nice place to watch the Sunset, quiet area. Facilities look fairly new and well maintained. Will definitely camp here again.

30amp and water hookup (currently a warning for high nitrates in the drinking water)

Clean and quiet. We ended up getting the one RV Spot with all three hookups which was nice. Number 17 is the only one with sewer!

Nice little campgrounds and good fishing also has a nice play area for kids

Stopped overnight on the way to Another campsite in Colorado. The site I stayed at was not great for tent camping as the ground was gravel-based. Not much to look at other than a very nice large man-made pond. It did look like there was some fishing to be had and there were clean bathrooms, etc. Not someplace I’d stay for an extended period of time.

On the border of NM and TX, there are few camping options. I was traveling from Santa Fe to Austin and wanted a quiet, safe spot for the night. Nice campsites, some with hook-ups and enclosed shelters. Also nice bathrooms, with showers. Lots of interesting birds, if you’re a birder and a mile away from Blackwater Draw, a major archeological site. I’d definitely stop again if I’m in the area.

A decent place to stop if you're passing through the area. Nothing remarkable, but nothing remarkably bad, either.
