"$18 rate if you mention the billboards on the highway, but $22 otherwise so it's a good deal. Park is close to the casino, pretty level sites, clean, with full hookups (including sewer), no riffraff."
"Level spots, electric, water and sewage hookups, huge field for you to walk your dog, Casino within walking distance or you give them a call and they come pick you up."
"We walked to the top of the adjacent hill for sunset which was very nice."
"Gorgeous drive in from 40 to the campsite.
Awesome pull-through site.
Only saw one person doing tent camping. Looked like a cold stay Oct 30th-31st."
$45 / night
"General: Conveniently located close to I40, there are 20 pull-through 50-amp sites, 16 pull-through 30-amp sites, five back-in water/electric sites (ok for tents), five tent-only sites (no hookups)"
"Close to Hwy 40. There is a walking path next to the campground that is in a lava field and there are signs along the path with fun facts of the history of the lava field."
"It was dead quiet from the time we arrived until we left at 1:30pm the next day even though there were campers close by. The surrounding landscape was beautiful."
"The campground: It's about a fifteen minute drive off highway 40. Once inside the campground the road is gravel and fairly easy to navigate."
$18 / night
"There’s a casino nearby if that’s your flavor. There’s also a gas station, grocery store, DQ, and all kinds of things as close as across the street!"
$10 / night
"Visited the coal mine campground after driving a 500 mile day, so it was a set-up eat and crash situation."
"There is a nice hiking trail available from the campground. La Mosca lookout is a nice drive from the campground with beautiful views."
$40 - $50 / night
"It’s not scenic by any means but, it is close to Mal Pais National Monument (across the street) and the people that work here are super nice."
"Sites are very close to each other and there are no tables. The dog run is very small. Road noise from I40. There is a small brewery on site, hence upgraded to 4 stars."
"The surrounding area is gorgeous! The camp spot is nestled in the trees and has plenty of shade for the summer months. Currently in April the picnic area was closed."
$15 - $90 / night
"This was the only lake we saw on our trip to the cattle ranch in New Mexico ;) The park is lovely and we truly enjoyed our time here. There is a nice beach as well as boating and fishing."
"The lake and the area is enchanting!! It was my first visit to New Mexico and for sure I will be back! The lake is large and has fishing."
RangerNo reservations accepted, but no one there so we had our pick (showed up on a Tues. in late May). Mens/womens restrooms look new, 2 of each, side by side. Sporadic 4g Verizon network (was VERY slow when it was up), sometimes no service. But, we were surprisingly able to watch end of game 4 Knicks/Pacers playoff, once it finally loaded! Short walking trail that is not marked well; took a side trip where it forked at the beginning and not sure where it went so, turned around. Right next to Hwy, but there was minimal traffic so no noise. Sheriff drove through once in evening. Some trees, some spots have some shade, elevation ~7000' or so (estimate). Some spots had nice space for multiple tents/sun shades. Most spots are level; those that weren't, were level enough, really not bad. Seemed safe enough. No water available, no hook-ups, no dump station.
GuideNice host greeted us and explained where the best sites were for our very large 5th Wheel. The sites with power were already taken, but we can boondock and the pull-through sites were great. Lovely view of the lake with a gorgeous sunset. We wish we weren't just passing through and could stay more than overnight ($20). Pricing differential for NM residents ($15). Prices go up and online reservations begin May 1.
GuideNo hookups, you can get water at the ranger station Friday-Sunday 8am-4:30pm. We were showing up after Sunday so we paid 10$ and got water at Sky City RV park, 30 mins from Joe Skeen. Used our starlink for work and it was great. Only 10 spots and they stayed full the whole time we were here. Once someone would leave it felt like someone immediately pulled in. Great trails around. Fire pit and pavilion at sites. For some people who pulled up when the sites were full they just parked where they could. No service with TMobile.
TravelerThe campground is conveniently located off I40 and is very reasonable priced for full hookups. The campground is clean and the office staff were very nice.
GuideNice place to stay. Very responsibly priced. Easy check in. Will definitely be back when passing through.
ScoutThe two times we've been there the toilets were clean and there was a couple open spots. I would have given it like five but the last time we were there there was a group in two converted buses that seem to be living there and we noticed them making the rounds at 1:30 in the morning, had it not been for our dogs running them off..... Other than that, it's a very nice campground
GuideEasy to find and quiet campground with trash cans and bathrooms.
Guide$18 rate if you mention the billboards on the highway, but $22 otherwise so it's a good deal. Park is close to the casino, pretty level sites, clean, with full hookups (including sewer), no riffraff. Call the casino hotel front desk, or stop in at the front desk to register. Only about 10% of sites occupied when I was there in December.
Big truck stop gas station across the street if you need anything. Casino has a buffet restaurant and another bar to watch the game. Ended up staying an extra night to get prime rib on Saturday.
Security will drive you back and forth to the casino if you request, but it's only a 5 minute walk.
ScoutThe wash to get into the campground is steep on both sides. We drug a bit on the way in and a lot on the way out.we have a silverback 37bh that specs say is 39'11". Would not try it again. The campground is awesome though. Quiet with trash receptacles and vault toilets. Amazing dark sky view of the stars. Mostly empty.
