Iron Creek Campground is easily accessible for campers and provides good facilitiesLocated__in the Black Range Mountains off NM State Highway 152, starting at San Lorenzo and ending in Hillsboro. This__is a mountain road with beautiful scenic sites at every curve. Watch for rocks on the road.
Great campground. Good size spots with good distance between sites. Ramadas at each site provide precious shade. Lots of trash bins nearby. Long flat trail (bike/walk) starts at the campground. Note that is has a boat launch except there’s no more water in this area.
Great flat spot with great views. It’s inside the Elephant Butte lake state park, but seems to be a dispersed site. No one around. No amenities. There is a vault toilet maybe a half mile away. There are pay stations around. We had paid for a site on south Monticello campground but came here instead.
The park itself is beautifully maintained, with lush green spaces and well-manicured sites that offer plenty of room for even the largest RVs. Each site is equipped with full hookups, which made our stay comfortable and convenient. We were particularly impressed with the cleanliness of the facilities, including the restrooms and laundry area, which were always spotless. I also get help from africanmag
Situated on the edge of a sprawling reservoir along the Rio Grande river, this park is the perfect place to enjoy the vast landscape of the area. The nearby town of Truth or Consequences, NM is small, but has all the services you might need for food, gas, supplies, or soaking in hot springs.
The campground is well spaced out, each spot has a picnic table with shade/rain structure (I’ll let you guess which purpose gets more use) and nearly all have electricity and water. That means NO generators! The bath house is clean and offers flush toilets, running sinks and warm showers. All sites are reservation only, but you can do that when you get there as there is plenty of LTE cell service. We've never seen this place crowded in the winter months. For what you get at this campground, it’s a bargain at twice the price.
The campground is ideal for solar power, as is the New Mexico weather. We also had no problem connecting with Starlink. Hiking, mountain biking, boating, fishing and all other sorts of desert recreation is available right from the campground. Definitely worth the visit!
When I called about availability we were told there were a lot of dry spots available. Works for us! When we got there the person at gate had no idea where the campgrounds were and would not let us check out sites without paying for day use. The campground had water shutoff on Memorial Day weekend. No bathrooms or showers.
Management aside, this place is gorgeous. We dry camped by lake right under mountains. Would not pay for campground with no water but for $10 to dry camp by the water, love it.
Great T-Mobile service. Easy to access.
Absolutely fantastic KOA! Either is brand new or redone/crazily well kept up! Tent spots, covered tent spots, RV spots with 120/30A/50A and water, dump station - shower house has better showers than most hotels, bathrooms are big and clean.
Really nice pool (that closes at 7 😢), basketball court, corn hole, play ground.
Pretty cool view of Las Cruces at night.
Stayed overnight. Clean, roomy sites, nice people.
Staying in a wooden house could be really cool, looking at the photos, I realized that I should do it one day, I'm usually someone who likes to play basketball https://basketballlegends.fun , maybe I can do it there.
Clean, quiet campground not far from Emory pass. Pit toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. Only a handful of people there on Friday night
Tent camping was wonderful at this location. Clean and reasonably priced.
Beautiful scenery, clean facilities. Sites in the main campground are kinda close together, but dispersed camping has better views and plenty of space. Good Verizon service, hot showers.
Highly recommend this gem. It’s tucked away and such a cozy and slow place to stay. We stayed in a campsite for 5 nights. Highly recommend more than one day so you can enjoy the springs and the town! It has lovely clean hot spring tubs that are open 24/7. It’s an intimate camp so we rarely had to wait for a tub. Also has clean bathrooms and showers and a grill. 2 blocks away from Main Street and 2 blocks from the Rio grande. Great host and great service too.
This is a small RV park just west of ElPaso. It’s older and could use some maintenance. Sites are level, but very close to. Lots of dust. (This is the desert , so maybe expected) 30/50 amp, water & sewer. Free WiFi and Cable TV No dog park. No pool There is a convenience store and grocery store.
We arrived after dark to the Las Cruces KOA. The park was about 1/2 full and the sites were spacious, clean and had both gravel and cement area for parking. The skies at night were clear and the location of the camp, set on a hilltop, was perfect for seeing stars and the distant city lights. During the daytime, the park has beautiful views of the mountains nearby. Some of the sites are considered premium and they had the best mountain views and a patio area and outdoor fitpit.
The dog run area was exceptionally clean, nice and spacious for our two dog. The dog area has a patch of grass in the middle and then surrounded by decompressed granite. I preferred this to the dog parks that are all grass. It was very clean and had climbing structures for the pups. The restroom near the dog park was sparkling clean with marble floors. I popped into the gift shop/welcome desk and there were a lot of items for sale, crafts, food items, etc. I can see spending a longer visit here and exploring the town of Las Cruces and the nearby Medilla area wineries. The location is convenient if you are traveling on I-10 and feels very safe and secure.
Very quiet with water and electric at each site. Spaced out a bit and you can walk to the lake but no real views of it. There is a 12 mile trail that takes off from here. Well laid out and very easy walking. Otherwise during the winter it is great but I'm guessing very hot in summer with no shade.
General: There are many different camping options at this state park from dispersed (especially on the beach) to those with electric/water hookups. We stayed in the Lions Beach campground with the w/e hookups.
Site Quality: Lions Beach is laid out much like an RV park with little to no separation between sites. Each site has a fire ring, and covered picnic table in addition to the hookups. The driveway was paved and level.
Bath/Shower: Only vault toilets close to the Lions Beach campground. They are ADA accessible complete with a ramp but although clean, there was no hand sanitizer in any of them. The only restrooms with running water, flush toilets, and showers are located about a mile from Lions Beach and IMO, not adequate for the crowds this park attracts, especially on the weekends. The showers looked sketchy, and I decided not to use them.
Activities: If you like to fish or have a boat, this is the place for you! There is a marina. Some hiking trails. We enjoyed Riverbed Hot Springs a few miles down the road in Truth or Consequences. We don’t have a boat or fish so although we stayed for two nights, we chose this campground because it was on our route.
Because dispersed camping on the beach is allowed, it is very popular, especially on the weekends but be warned the sand is soft and deep – I’m not sure how vehicles without 4-wheel drive can navigate it without getting stuck. We were told there were wall-to-wall RVs on the beach on the weekend before our arrival (third weekend in April) so thankfully we were not there on a weekend! If we were to return, we would select the sites overlooking the lake on Ridge Road with no hookups but generally, not our preferred camping vibe but for others, it might be different.
Clean restrooms, comfy outdoor furniture and terrific vibe ! We really enjoyed staying here this past spring and plan to return this winter!
Site is typical for state campground, well maintained, clean with water, electricity, RV dump, and showers (had hot water!). Sites are fairly level on asphalt pads. Childrens' playground on site. The lake is very low during my visit but still had some boating going on. Nice trails adjacent to campgrounds. Great reception for Mint. Internet is available for $8/day. Fair connection, I was able to watch movies and football without too much buffering.
I stayed at the Desert Cove campground. It was quiet and well maintained. Stayed a couple of nights on long trip to rest up. I would stay here a again.
Note: Seems every park is going the way of private booking for reservations and NM is no different. Had to book on line or phone. Used both methods and was fairly easy.
We enjoyed how small this campsite is and we were the only people there during our visit.
I gave it 3 stars because it’s right next to the road, but also next to the water.
It has large trees and flat camping spots. It even has a vault toilet.
We camped here for 5 days. Water and electric on every site. Beautiful view of the lake. It was very quiet. The camp host was wonderful. We had some stakes that came with the tent and they didn't work. He gave us some heavy duty ones that didn't bend.
The front desk ladies are friendly and fun. The campground is situated on a mountain side, beautiful view, cool breeze. Our campsite is shady and tent pad is lush grass. Not all Sites have trees but some do. Restrooms and showers are clean and nice. It’s quiet and peaceful.
Nice level Lake view spot. Easy access to site and dump station. Fire pit and shade over picnic table.
Beautiful, manicured place on a hill overlooking town. Really nice staff and concrete/gravel site. We will be back!!
My wife and I loved this campground! The host was very friendly and helpful, even with our late arrival. The grounds are really well kept and the the hot spring tubs are AMAZING! We loved the refurbished camper we were in and will definitely be back.
Multiple hot springs tubs, private and not private. New water every time you soak. Lovely outdoor living room with bbq and fire pit. Spotless bathrooms. Hosts are so kind.
Very nice place. Friendly staff, great site. Great access to hookups. No issues
Got here around 7pm. The only sites available are tent sites which is fine as we are self contained and small. The tent sites are flat for parking. The bathrooms are clean. The Big rigs are very close to each other. The only downside is it was a cold night and a few rigs turned a generator on. Nice store. No front loader laundry. But the laundry was pretty quick. The staff is very nice.
