Best Campgrounds near Fort Sumner, NM

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.

I planned out a stop here on a long western tour. I planned to stop for the night. When I arrived, the park was flooded. The area that ran along the lake was not flooded was OK, but it was a road with picknick shelters, much less suitable for camping than the flooded areas would have been. I felt exposed and in-the-way, so I moved on to the next stop. Assuming it dries out, there should always be a place to stop.

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.

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

Dirty restrooms, smoking in restrooms, not a pleasant stay.

Not one of my favorites. Sits a little off the lake so I'd try one of the other campgrounds that are closer if you want to be closer. Not busy at all but lots of traffic during the day

Just stayed for 1 night so it was okay. No other people

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.

There are at least 4 formal campgrounds and several more primitive places to camp. You certainly can choose what works for you. No real shade anywhere and I would think it would be brutally hot in the summer. Pretty darn warm right now. 14 bucks for a nice flat spot with services. 8 dollar charge to reserve online and all the sites with services require it.

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.

It’s November and it’s 80° the day and 30° at night. They have water and electric. I’m getting quite a few channels over broadcast. My T-Mobile Internet is at four bars and my AT&T cell phone is at two bars. Stay here couple nights going to move on tomorrow.

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!

This place needs to be patrolled by law enforcement. Vagrant drug users acting crazy in the middle of the night.

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

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

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!

Very pretty campground. Small store, they offer BBQ delivered to your site! Under a thunderstorm advisory so going to forgo the pool.
