Some shade. Clean facilities. Close parking even though the park isn’t full this time of year. The Albuquerque Balloon Festival was a couple of weeks ago. American pride shown here! Great camp store.

Great rate for 30 A. I love to see the wild horses roaming the park.
RangerStayed here for one night on our way up to Farmington. Staff was very pleasant. We paid $41 for electric and water. Site was very nice and flat. Did have showers,pool, Wi-fi and laundry
TravelerNeeded an overnight stay along Interstate 40 in New Mexico. Check-in was quick and easy, the sites are arranged so that RV doors are not facing the neighbor's sewage pipe, which is something I always appreciate. Most of the sites are pull-through. The park is well laid out and covered with an attractive reddish-brown gravel. The facilities were clean, the staff was pleasant. The park felt safe though the neighborhood around it is economically distressed. The park is family friendly; there is a dog-park, a nice pool, and attractive common area near the office with tables and statuary with a cute bear theme. The only negatives are not under the control of the park: trains pass by frequently day and night, and in the evening the mosquitos are voracious. My wife and I agree that we would return here.
GuideThis was an amazing place. Super family friendly. Amazingly helpful staff. I forgot my airpump for the bed and they gave me one they had so I could use it. Truly nice people.
ScoutCampgrounds easy to access. I did not have a site reservation, buit there were lots of vacent pads available. Nice view of the lake. Only drawback was the all night incessant winds. They were strong, gusty and loud. So strong they collapsed my tent on top of me. Notmuch sleep that night. It might have been where I was (pad 44), They were still strong in the morning, but I noticed they were less/non existant at the campsites near the main entrance. Just bewaye and be prepared.
TravelerGreat campground. Not far off I-40. Lots of sites. Most have a level, gravel tent pad, table and fire ring. Vault toilets in abundance. One bathroom with sinks and flush toilets. Separate shower house was closed when we were here. Some electric sites. Some large level pull thrus. Most sites have at least a glimpse of the lake. There were horses roaming through the campground. Mostly empty this April midweek. Good trails for hiking. I only saw one water pump in the park. There is an EV charging station.
RangerWe were able to make a same day reservation and the staff were very nice. Someone was in our spot and they quickly got us into a new (and better) spot. The spots are pull-through, gravel, and very close to one another. It was extremely busy when we stayed probably because the location is good and there aren’t many options in the area so there was a bit of a parking lot feel. The pool and barbecue place weren’t open when we went, but the store was open till 8 and had the basics (I didn’t use the laundromat or bathrooms). The cost with our discount was around $40 - we felt like it got the job done and would certainly stay again if we were passing through Gallup and needed a place to camp.
RangerThe campsites are nice but not very level. If you're coming after November you need to be here before 5:00 or the gates are locked. The water was very infected with blue green algae but also very pretty. The hikes are nice because the water is low you can walk all the way around the lake almost. Not very many electric sites but inexpensive if you get one.
ScoutVery nice, clean rv park. Friendly staff and well organized. Nice Patriotic theme.
TravelerNot far from I40. Very quiet and beautiful lake view for only $8 (dry camping). Hook up optionally available.
ScoutGot in late and they waited for me to arrive. Friendly, staff, well maintained sites, good value.
GuideVarious campsite types at this lakeside park. Most are non electric but I got an electric site as it was hot. A few trails and a nice family atmosphere. Unfortunately lake was choked with algae (seasonal) so I didn’t swim. Also some trash around. Good prices and sites though.
TravelerArea is very well maintained! Restrooms and showers were immaculate.
Watch out for the wild horses and their droppings.
Plenty of spots if you’re sleeping in a hammock.
LegendIf I offered s as my advise, check the fires before committing. Limited electric sites. I think more than 60% of sites were not level. We’re self-leveling but took site B - dry camping, level and fitted between 2 ADA sites. We loved being so remote. Verizon/Visible/ Starlink all worked great
Great staff. Patrolled by rangers frequently, so felt safe
GuideLake was muddy brown, not blue. First come, first served and we arrived before noon, but no electric sites were available. Views of lake and surrounding juniper covered mesas was good. Early in morning horses grazed right through our campsite.
ScoutVery friendly staff, clean quiet park, very patriotic theme, I’ll definitely be back!
LegendMy husband and I were skeptical to stay at such an uber patriotic site on stolen land, (we are NOT AT ALL the target audience) but it exceed expectations at every turn. Truly a 10/10 experience from staff, to sites to amenities.
We only stayed the night, but there was so much to take advantage I was almost disappointed we didn’t stay longer.
Huge pool, large chess game, community dinners (no vegetarian/ vegan options) ice cream socials, camp store, etc.
Nice bathrooms, didn’t use laundry. WiFi and ATT& Verizon worked at site. Gravel sites needed leveling with full hook ups. Picnic table came with site.
RangerThis was a great stay to break up our drive home! While the local area is not the nice you won’t really need to leave the campground once there. Kids loved the activities. Very little room in between sites but this is built for overnight interstate traffic. Facilities and staff were great. BBQ dinner and ice cream social excellent!
TravelerGood campsites. Clean showers and full hook ups as well as low key pull through sites. None of the sites are close to the water but only a short hike or drive. Catch release Tiger Muskie was the fishing my husband was after.
LegendThis is a Good Sam Campground.
Pros: Full hookup (sewer, water, 50 AMP) Pull thru sites Heated pool Outdoor chess game Playground Laundry Bath house Patriotic & fun atmosphere Onsite barbecue
Cons: None 🙌
GuideAfter an expectedly long drive this was the perfect stop. Place was clean and well maintained. Greeted by a friendly husband and wife running it. Cozy spot very safe and comfortable. Would stay again!
LegendWell run campground with full hook-ups and all the facilities are in good condition. Great management. They even offer "free coffee provided in cups." Good, quiet layover from point A to point B.
LegendThis place was fantastic. The rates are dirt cheap, but the park is worth many times more. I came in without a reservation and found a huge pull-through campsite on the hill, with a clear view of the lake (it is indeed blue). There was a deep and broad terrace for picnic table and tent, and some pines for shade. It was a little windy when I visited, but not uncomfortably so. It was dark and quiet at night, and I slept well.
The bathroom nearest my campsite was a vault toilet, but a clean one. Real bathrooms are available at the visitor center, a long walk north of my tent.
I recommend following the trail at the north end of the campground for a nice view of the dam (it was a 10 to 15 minute hike for me, narrow but level). The lake is also open for boating and fishing, with a launch ramp near the campground.
The only downside I can think of was the trash I found at my campsite, mostly bottle caps. I spent a few minutes picking it up before I left.
GuideGallup definitely isn't exactly a desirable destination (hot and dusty!), so I wouldn't go out of my way to stay here. But for a quick overnight stop with good amenities - I'd definitely stay here again with our 42' fifth wheel. ALL pull-thru sites. Our site was super unlevel, which caused setup of our fifth wheel to error over and over when leveling. But our blocks finally fixed it. Dog pee reeked of pee, but that's to be expected. Nice pool and BBQ cookout.
ScoutLong pullthroughs, has a very nice pool and by the pool a a BBQ place. We had their pulled pork, potato salad and coleslaw and it was excellent. I would definitely stay here again
GuideThis park was everything we needed. No complaints just nothing spectacular.
