    Quail Run — Elephant Butte Lake State Park

    Nice campground but not a place to get back to nature.

    This is a pretty nice campground. The campsites are fairly close together and there is little privacy. Good view of the lake and a decent amount of birds flying around. Good place for a family vacation but not a great place to get back to nature. When I was here in the bathrooms were being worked on and the only facilities was outhouses.

    Relaxing spots to hunt for rocks

    Small and quiet campground near Deming NM. We stayed at one of the primitive sites. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful. It was very windy when we were there (January)

    Overnight stay

    Nice clean, even huge spaces for our big tiffin. We only stayed the night and it's right off the highway so you could hear the traffic a little bit throughout the night. Not a big deal for us though. I forgot to take pics.

    Truly amazing people !

    I booked a stay during a New Mexico snow/ice storm!! I went past the farm by a couple blocks and couldn’t get turned around or backed up. The wife opted to have her husband come get me into place. The farm is full of animals with a beautiful view and great rates. In addition it’s an EQUINE SAFE HAVEN. So if you ever come to visit please leave a little extra cash, They’re doing Gods work here and it truly a blessing to see.

    I will be back!

    Open BLM land

    This is open BLM land. When you turn off Highway 61, you go through a gate. There are multiple pull-outs along the road. Great views, desert terrain. I have good cell service, and my home fi hot spot is working great.

    Hacienda RV Resort

    Unimpressed👎🏼

    This campground was a Huge disappointment for us. I planned and made reservations last August for Thanksgiving 2024. We are retired military and wanted to spend the holiday close to El Paso, TX.
    Looking forward to our holiday reservation , we arrived @ Hacienda to find out that the campground had (without notice) moved us to a site in the back of the park with No picnic table, & No fire ring. The explanation we were given was that it was an “emergency.” We were also advised that we could have paid an extra fee to “keep” our reservation, but that we didn’t do that when we made our reservations. To their credit, they did reimburse us for one free night stay.
    HOWEVER…….people make reservations for a reason and because Hacienda made this unwanted change without our knowledge or consent, our Thanksgiving was unmemorable.

    I feel that campgrounds such as Hacienda who want an extra fee to “hold” a reserved site certainly take their patrons for granted. If we ever return to the southwest, we won’t stay @ Hacienda. We should have and will stay at the Ft. Bliss RV Park instead.

    Desert Cove — Elephant Butte Lake State Park

    Desert Cove is actually a campground and also dispersed camping area

    This is a very nicely spaced campground. Can't really see the water from here but the sites have water and electric. The bathroom was being worked on so not open during the visit and the water level is at like 5 % capacity but there are lots of places to walk and bike and camping here in the winter provides very livable temperatures.

    Flat spots with hook ups

    This is a pretty normal lake campground. Not a lot of shade or privacy but picnic tables and covered outdoor spaces. There are bathrooms close by and they seem fine. Quiet during the off season and nice hiking trails.

    These spots are great

    If it were to stay here again, I'd stay in this campground as the layout is a lot nicer and more private. This campground is full and none of the others are right now. Nice walking trails and spots with some privacy and full hook ups.

    Very nice

    Caballo is kind of hidden between Percha and Elephant Butte but has lots of places to camp and is well maintained. This has a nice paved road leading to it, tons of spots where you can have privacy and trees. During the spring, it would keep you out of the wind.

    Not as nice as in the past.

    I stayed here in 2018 and the trees didn't look very good. They must have had to remove a lot of them and the spots are now in the sun. Very hot and dry most of the year and the river doesn't run most of the year either. Stickers everywhere and the trails are not well maintained.

    Free place in a cute town

    I walked through Kingstown and which is a friendly, adorable town. It is just up the road from their provided campground.

    The campground is really just a couple of spots with a picnic table and not a destination but worthy of stopping if the mountains are cold.

    Quail Run — Elephant Butte Lake State Park

    EB St Pk is great, More sheltered area

    I love the Elephant Butte State Park and have stayed around 4 times. February 2024 I spent a week there in my small travel trailer. It can be quite windy in Feb/Mar so before booking I called the park office ans asked which campground might be more wind sheltered. They suggested Quail Run so that is what I booked. It was more out of the wind and a very nice, less exposed area. /bear in mind, the excellent prices are ending for 2025 and will be considerably more. I plan to spend a few days there in Dec before the prices go up.

    Some amenities but dated

    We stopped here for an unplanned overnight. It is ok. Friendly staff. Clean but dated bathrooms. Took 5 minutes to get hot water in the women’s shower and the water stream was very small. No space between rigs. Lots of people driving out late and early. Think some folks must live here and be heading off to work. Big clubhouse area with a library. Also indoor pool. Didn’t use these facilities. There is a laundry but we did not check it out. Reasonable price but we wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

    5-star city light view!

    We usually opt more for National Forests and Parks, but this was a great stop after a fabulous but more rustic experience camping at Chiricahua National Monument. This place has been updated and has more amenities than I’ve ever seen at an RV park including a dog bath! The bathrooms are updated and clean. Our view site was great and more spacious than the pull through ones. No one was to our right, so our site felt extra spacious. Staff were kind and helpful. Very clean and quiet park. I’d stay here again.

    Great State Park

    This is the second time we have spent a night here. The park is just a little out of town but upon a hill with amazing views. The campsites are mostly level and have water and electric and the showers and bathrooms were quite clean. Nice hiking in the area. Don’t forget to visit the gift shop where there’s some interesting information about the history of the area. All the camp hosts we’ve come in contact have been super friendly. you do have to make reservations online through reserve America. Very popular place in the fall and winter.
