ScoutGreat spot to boondock for the night
ScoutI came to this area to summit the high point of Oklahoma. This is a very well kept place with clean bathrooms and showers. There is a mix of tent and RV sites.
TravelerGreat spot for a one night stay. Ground is flat making it easy for tent campers. Does have a bathroom area. Did hear farm equipment throughout the night but it wasn’t drowning the nightlife noise. Got the experience of deer bedding next to my site.
GuideThis rest stop was exactly what we needed: simple, safe, and quiet for an overnight stay. The restroom was clean and well-maintained. There's picnic tables for a quick bite. If you're looking for a straightforward, clean, and safe spot to break up your Texas journey, this spot works.
ScoutEasy to access and clean
GuideThis RV park was really sweet. It’s small but has everything that you need and a simple payment of envelopes by a drop off box great rates for full hook up electricity and water and if you show in the right time, you can watch the town baseball game across the street. And great sunset too!
RangerClayton Lake State Park lies in the NE corner of New Mexico. It is about 12-15 miles North of the small town of Clayton. Most camping sites are basic and seven are electrical with water hookups. There is a horseshoe pit and a volleyball area along with a pavilion for group gatherings. There is a visitor center and a bathroom with two flush toilets and two shower stalls (which could use some updating).
The main attraction is the dinosaur tracks, uncovered when topsoil was removed to build the dam. That caused a lake to form and some trees that were along the banks are now visible standing in the lake. There is a boat launch area and it is for trolling motors, canoe or kayak use. It can get very windy. The lake is surrounded by a rocky cliff-like shoreline. Swallows make their nests in the clift face.
The electrical sites are terraced near the boat launch area near the dam end of the campground. The basic sites are scattered around several loops and nest in rock outcrops at the other end of the campground. The visitor center and bathroom are near the entrance.
GuideNice cottonwoods along a creak, clean facilities. Not very busy on a Tuesday. Friendly Camp Host/Camp Store owner. Lots of birds and spring flowers.
