            Well run, clean, and great views

            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 Campground — Santa Rosa Lake State Park

            Peaceful with nice views

            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.

            Nice stop right off the freeway

            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.

            Rocky Point Campground — Santa Rosa Lake State Park

            tight, cramped, poorly designed, needs work

            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 stopping point

            A nice campground right off the highway.  We stayed on a new site toward the back of the campground.  Less highway noice.  Nice view of the mountain near Tucumcari and great grill.  They look to be working hard to improving this campground.  Saw people working diligently well into the late afternoon/evening on improvement projects.

            Friendly folks - Easy Access

               Really nice folks! Checked me in and then lead me to my site in his golf cart. Helpful info on where to find a grocery store etc. 

               Reasonably priced at $41.00, the site was level (gravel) and the wifi was really very good.I had 60 mb download speed and 20 MB upload without a booster.

                Grocery store is about a mile away and have a decent beer, wine and liquor selection. All the important stuff :)  There's also a hardware store and a tractor supply within about a mile.

                Close to the I-40 exit but not close enough for road noise. Very convenient!

            Great for a two night stay in Tucumcari

            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!!

            Only one campground open this time of year

            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 stopover park

            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.

            Beautiful location

            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!

            Rude owner

            While the park is decent the owner/manager is very rude. I witnessed him being rude to a customer as I was checking in. I figured it was 50/50 so I checked in. They give you a menu for their BBQ restaurant and will deliver to your campsite, just call between 4:30 and 6. I called at 5:30 to order and he rudely told me " there is nothing I can do for you now. I'm busy, maybe I can call you back" I told him not to bother. If their food is anything like his attitude it would be inedible

            Safe, Open and Comfortable

            If you are moving along RT 66/I-40, perfect place to hold up for the night. It is quiet and provides everything you need. If it is your first taste of camping in the West, if feels like what you would expect. Open scenery; beautiful night and morning skies. There might be a few full timers on the east end of the property, but they generally keep their areas well kept. There is a dog park if yours are friendly, mine are not. But there is an open grassy area at the front of the property. This campground worked well for us.

            Feeling safe and at home.

            Currently getting ready to pack up my stuff and get on the road, but I cannot recommend this place enough. Kevin was so kind, helpful, and answered all of my many questions I had. Being a solo traveler, I am always on the lookout for a place I feel safe in and I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

            Thanks so much for the great night of sleep and hospitality.

            Easy check out and quiet

            We stopped just for the night and because we were coming in after hours the nice woman on the phone just said take any available spot and pay in the morning. It was close to the highway but because there were large buildings between the campground and highway it was quiet. Pull through sites made it oh so easy. Excellent place to stay!!

            No Tents

            Very nice place. Well maintained & clean! But only RV - was going to tent camp out of the car but host denied. (with a cravat, he offered to 'put me in the back' for a small fee IF I agreed to not abuse the facilities) -apparently he had problems with campers in the past, so, yea, no camping

            Great little campground

            An excellent choice for a overnight stay. Close to the freeway. Very nice staff. Level sites. We were tired, and were told they provided food from a limited menu delivered to our site. The chicken fried steak was excellent. The office staff were very helpful and kind

            Okay Campground

            Campgrounds were fairly clean here. Keep in mind that if you are tent camping A LOT of the spots are extremely rocky and just full of gravel! Campground has clean showers and bathrooms as well. Sites are fairly close to the lake too. The campground is also only about 12 minutes away from the town of Santa Rosa if you’re in need of supplies!

            Great place to stay

            I have enjoyed my stay here. The owners are very nice and take care of the campground and the campers. The go out of their way to make sure you’re taken care of. Kevin will even pull you into your spot and help line your up. They have great bathrooms and wash facilities. The have 6 or so horse stalls and are currently upgrading the park.

            As for the review below they are just a little misinformed and had bad timing. I have been staying here since April 2023 and on the early morning of May 26th 2023 around 3:30 am the city had a freak flash flood. Most of the park was under 2-6’ of water. My camper was under 6’ of water. That day the owners, myself and other campers were super busy cleaning up our campers, cars, and the office. Not the owners fault they were super busy and couldn’t call every person that had a reservation. At the time I’m writing this it’s still closed but they are working hard to redo and upgrade all the facilities to make it better.
