Best Campgrounds near Conchas Dam, NM

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.

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!

Rerouted here on my way to the Grand Canyon due to winter storms. Pull thru spots were long enough to leave the truck attached to the camper (17') for the one night that turned into two because of weather. 

Wifi was adequate, T-Mobile cell service was good. Dog area was desert-y, pretty muddy in the snowy slushy weather. No official offleash areas.

The whole small park is clean and well maintained, and the heat in the restrooms was great in the 30 degree weather outside. As others mentioned there appeared to be a few rv's here for an extended time. It's not fancy, but the price is good for the full hookups, and the people who run this place take good care of it.

Sadly, the Lake is low, but it is a great overnight spot. Can’t beat the price. Just a bit off the beaten path. It was quite windy though.

For a short notice location it was great. Easy to book online. A bit noisy with the semi traffic but made for a good nite. A complimentary shower would be nice considering the price.

Overall it is what you would expect for a gas station RV spot. It serves a purpose which is what I am rating. We were initially in RV site #1 but this had to much foot traffic with everyone stopping for gas walking their pets. Also just more traffic in general. We moved to RV site 8 which was better. Had to contact Loves for both sites. No power initially at site 1 which was an easy fix on their end. Site 8 had the sewer connection locked and no code was communicated to us up front. The staff inside the Loves was very friendly.

Very clean campground with many spots to camp overlooking the lake. Good bathrooms too.

Nice spot. Cost $8 there are 3 spots by the lake. Drive towards the dam then follow down to lake. Only one person there when I stayed but did have some locals come to hang out at night

We stayed for an overnight on the way to Arizona. Check in was very easy and well organized. There is a store and they will also bring breakfast to your site which is a great added feature. If you get a site at the very back of the park, like we did, you have an unobstructed view, of Tucumcari Mountain which was very nice to watch the sunset. Clean bathrooms, quiet aside from the interstate noise. Con - was a little pricey for the area and I’ve seen people complain it’s a little harder to get to then some of the other parks, but it was really a simple turnaround. It is on the east side of town so you reached the park before you reach anything in town but you can get DoorDash there if you want dinner delivered. Would stay again.

Rocky Point was one of two campgrounds we saw in Santa Rosa Park. All sites had picnic tables, some sites had electricity and water, and some sides just had water. The bathrooms in Rocky point had flush toilets and showers. The bathrooms were very clean. The camp host was very friendly. This was a very nice campground and not too far from Highway 40.

This place was close to the 40 and gas, food. It is a little weather worn but in the land of wind and sand it's understandable. The hosts where awesome and the hook ups were just fine. All sites are pull through.



Pleasantly surprised by this place. We pulled our van in at 9 pm and paid $10 at pay station. We had a great 3 mile morning walk. The entire site is litter-free. Bathrooms are incredibly clean

I took the last site on short notice with electricity for four nights over the weekend, the handicap site. I went back and double checked, the NMSP website has not clearly state that only a van or very short class C would fit in the spot. I got my 20 foot trailer in but my truck is sticking out into the road a tiny bit. The sites are very close together and unfortunately, right after I arrived a couple of families set up right next to me complete with screaming kids and yapping dogs. Campers with kids and dogs should have their own camping loops, maybe their own campgrounds. So many people do not appreciate the quiet and solitude of a natural woods. As soon as the kids arrived, it seemed like they were told to scream as loud as they could. Disgusting. So one star for this campground and the poor layout

Good overnight stop! It was a quiet rv park with clean bathrooms and hot showers. The staff was super friendly at check in and if you like the little touches they offer free coffee and tea! I always think that's nice.

Flat spot, cell reception, right by a gas station and a neat place to explore route 66. Highly recommend La Cita, for New Mexico Mexican food. Very good, friendly staff and also the coffee house is ran by the nicest husband and wife couple with incredible baked goods!!

And the bathroom was locked because of freezing. No water anywhere. Lake is pretty and we used our bike to check out all the different walks and stuff which was nice but disappointed it was all locked up. Water is very low.

Nice stop over park, we stayed 2 nights. It was pleasant and they do a daily breakfast and nightly dinner. We purchased the dinner the first night, it wasn’t 5 star dining but it hit the spot nonetheless, especially after driving all day.

Unable to reserve and pay for a spot online but decided to go anyway and check for availability at the office. Office closed when we got there, but a camper told us to pick a spot without a reserve ticket on it and use the honor system dropbox. Only the Juniper campground was open, but lots of open spots. We lucked out with one, though not very level, it gave us a beautiful view of the lake. Restrooms located by camp host. We had a dry camping spot, but there is a dump station and non-potable water in campground. I was told a few spots have electricity but ours didn't. Each spot has a covered picnic table and bbq grill, where you would have to have your fire if you brought wood. A bit of a stretch from the highway, but easy to find following the directions off the Maps app, and so worth the drive. We'll definitely be back!
