Reserve online, no office attendant. Pull in to your spot and hook-up. Clean, level and well maintained. Good water pressure, threaded sewer drops, tight 20/30/50 amp plug sockets. Sites are decently spaced and easy to navigate with plenty of parking for your towed.

Quiet, clean and has warm water showers
Guide
Not only were the stars and Milky Way amazing, but everyone was so respectful with dim red lights in yes. The facilities were very clean and modern. The site itself was private and comfortable. I’d happily book there again for future travel. I used a Thermocell bug device and it handled the bugs quite well.

It’s a picnic area
Guide
This RV Campground was very conveniently located on our route out of Texas. It was clean with well maintained camp sites. The staff were pleasant and helpful.
Our site was at the end, away from the street, and it was quiet with some shade.
We would definitely stay here again.
TravelerThere are many positive reviews about this place and I have to say they are true. Very clean and safe for a Solo Traveler. Two places to shower, use the one connected to the office as it has better water pressure. Excellent playground for families. All pull through sights for travelers. Really glad I stayed here and would definitely stay here again.

This is a National Grasslands picnic area that allows single night stays. A perfect location for long trip back from Utah and in area without any other options (other than RV parks). Flat parking lot with picnic tables and vaulted toilet.

We stopped for 1 night on our trip from Albuquerque to our home in Michigan. Level parking area and clean pit toilets. No water available.
TravelerQuick, one-night stopover. Adequate for what I needed. Toilets, but no shower or water. One big rig was there when I arrived, and a cartop tent camper arrived after dark. Again, fine for me in my teardrop.
ScoutAbout 20 minutes from Clayton, this spot is easy to get to with my 23ft rig with paved road the whole way. Plenty of space to turn around and park multiple rigs. It was quiet and felt safe. There are picnic tables, a fire ring, and a pit toilet.
TravelerPark in large parking lot with a pit bathroom about 40' in center of park. Picnic tables, but no water. Quiet, very dark- slept good.
GuideThe area is great for an overnight stop. Level, trees. And clean pit toilets.
ScoutStayed here on a road trip for the night. There are no lights, so bring your flashlight.
ScoutWe got there late last night, the management was friendly and helpful, the spot was nice and flat for the RV, it was quiet and peaceful… and good Lord the goat head stickers were plentiful. My dog was a victim!!
ScoutThis is a bare bones campground but was a good, quiet stop on our drive. There are composting toilets, trash cans, picnic tables, and bbqs. Clean and just what we needed
ScoutThis is a very simple dirt parking lot with a pit toilet and some picnic tables. It is right off a road so can hear cars go by but still felt safe
GuideEverything was very green in the 10 mile trek into the park. Our spot was in the Cove campground - noon-a and no water. We have enough solar power to sustain. The lake was gorgeous and the dinosaur footprints and tracks were really interesting! The spots are not right on top of each other - so very nice. They have potable water at the visitors center. There were candies with water and electric - we were too late to book.
ScoutLove this park! It's all smiles for us ...so much so we extended our stay a few extra days for some R&R ....the park is kind of out in the middle nowhere in route to southeastern Colorado..it's a quiet campground in itself , there is a train close by that passes through, not so brothersome as far as noise, the motorcycles zooming by is just a faint sound in the wind... Breathtaking sunsets, rainstorms fun to watch in the wide open space, 40 +acres to walk around and enjoy...daily we see folks out on the tracker, in the distance, farm homes with farm animals ...My pups on thier walk... enjoy exploring flowers growing "out of the rocks" sniffing the bushes, chasing tumble weeds, birds and butterflies.... Watching a Jack rabbit run past our campspot... Here comes the hail storm that was somewhat freakish, but afterwards a beautiful rainbow... No laundry No amenities if you plan to stay keep in mind by mid-afternoon folks start coming in to set up, most are overnighters! ...it's self check in with money in a box or by a phone call to pay with a card...owners in and out just a text, email , or phone call away Security lights great, but not so great for star gazing.
TravelerSwing by on the way to New Mexico. The surrounding area is all flat grasslands, which don’t do much for me in terms of scenery. Bit boring. However, I would much have preferred to stay here overnight instead of the WalMart I wound up at instead! There is a toilet, picnic tables, and is very quiet and easily accessible. Wouldn’t make a trip to stay here, but would definitely use as a stopover.
TravelerVery quiet, very secluded. Great picnic tables, has toilets an old corral with windmill. Can stay up to 14 days
GuideOnly stayed one night. The whole place was booked mainly tween boyscouts and they were obnoxious but did settle at quite hours. We got up stupid early to leave before they woke up.
TravelerLike everyone else has stated, this is just a spot to stop over for the night. Nothing special, just a gravel lot with a grassy area. There is a restroom, so that was a plus.
TravelerLarge parking lot that is very quiet and level. The pit toilets were clean and the trash and recycling were helpful. We pulled in around 7:30pm on a Friday and there was one other van there.
GuideGood signal Att, bathrooms, easy to get to, beautiful sun rise spot, and quite.
At first I was a little sketched out because we got there at 3 am and it was pretty crowded but we were way to sleepy to keep going. The sun rise was amazing!!! Perfect pit stop for sleepy drivers on an adventure.
For the bad things. Well what some people might say is bad, it’s a bit off of the main road that we were going, seems close to houses, and has no running water.
TravelerStayed in September, lots of goat head stickers. So those with pets be aware. Great campsites, bathrooms really nice (we rooftop tent camp). We stayed in the no lights area. Such an amazing view of the stars! We were lucky with a clear night. It’s a don’t miss if you are passing through!
Traveler
Nothing special. Just a place to spend the night
GuideClayton Lake State Park near Clayton, New Mexico turned out to be a pleasant surprise. It is a small state park with several small camogrounds spread around the reservoir which is popular for fishing. Our campground had about a half dozen sites overlooking the lake. The opportunity to see dinasaur tracks and attend star parties make this park unique. The campground host is an amateur astronomer who regularly hosts very well-attendedstar parties. Water and electric were available at our campsite, but the park does not have a dump station.
