Nice and quiet campground

The sites were well spaced out, everyone followed quiet hours and it was very peaceful. Bathrooms definitely need updating, sinks had bugs all over them, dead and alive. Showers never got cold and turned off after a couple minutes, can live with that, but a little frustrating that I’m paying $30 for a cold shower.

Amazing

Cell service is spotty, but the view is amazing, beautiful lake, beautiful sunsets, all around a great place to stay. Off 40 a bit but 100% worth it. Great fishing, great camp host! Very very quiet.

Not free! But a great spot

This is the Conchas state park, you have to reserve (and pay) for camping on the state park website, or by using the QR code at the visitor center. With all that said, it was well worth the beautiful sunset view from the Bell Point campground. There are covered picnic tables and electric hookups at most sites. There are bathrooms at each campground although, they were closed at the time of my visit. Not sure if that’s just because of the season or budget cuts. I hope it’s not the latter!
