"The sites are all pull through with water, electric (20 amp and 30 amp), and shelter; and the dump station. surrounded by a cactus garden, makes the nasty job of dumping a little more palatable ;-). "
"I come out here to mostly kayak, fish & walk my dogs. Kayaking is best when the sunrises because you get a beautiful view of it rising behind the mountains."
"Me and my gf fell in love with this camping spot, the weather was nice when we were there, cute wild or domesticated animals walk the space not aggressive just cute and helpful with the leafs and cycle"

"Driving into this campground was incredible. The scenery all around was well worth the trip. Be prepared to endure whatever nature has in store for you."
"Access is possible from the south via FR139 and Luna Park Road, but Google Maps won't show you that because it requires a high clearance vehicle or very careful driving."
"This campground is a “little” more hidden from the road than other nearby campgrounds."

"Can’t canp near the water, but can stay at sites within walking distance. Grills and bathrooms, nice to sit in a tube and float down and has a trail to hike back up after the ride"
"Tucked in next to the Rio Grande, Perch Dam Campground is quiet, clean, and enjoyable. The bathrooms were spotless and well maintained, as were the pit toilets in the dispersed area. "

"My favorite part about caballo lake is floating down from elephant butte to caballo lake in a giant floaty."
ScoutThis is a campsite predominantly for RV and fifth wheels, but can accommodate tent camping. It’s quite expensive for an overnight camp outing but also doesn’t shut the gate to set up late at night. The morning is gorgeous looking over the lake…can’t find many hikes around it though.
TravelerRight along the river. Many pull-offs to choose from. Take your pick. Most are flat. Some are shaded. We use solar for charging and had plenty of sunshine!

TravelerMe and my gf fell in love with this camping spot, the weather was nice when we were there, cute wild or domesticated animals walk the space not aggressive just cute and helpful with the leafs and cycle of vegetation foods/leafs in the area.
Travelerthey got restrooms picnic tables, flat surface ground for RV’s the weather is nice the water stream is very satisfying to view while relaxing away from town or city life.
ScoutNice widely spaced sites separated by nice juniper evergreens. Place is very tidy and well cared for.
RangerThese hot springs are FANTASTIC! This was our 2nd time here and we will make an effort to come back anytime we pass through the area.
They only have 5 RV spots, and they are COMPETITIVELY booked. Each time we've stayed we have been lucky enough to get cancelation bookings. Each site is big rig friendly, with easy back-in parking. We were in site 4 and had no trouble parking our 37ft 5th wheel with long truck (55ft total). Each site is full hookups with cable and free high speed wifi, and a picnic table. Current rates are 75/night for week days and 95/night for weekends. RV stays include access to the public pools and areas (during operating hours) from the time of your check in to your check out time the next morning. You can't beat that value!! Site includes 2 adults and you can add more for 30/person per night. I recommend going during the week so you basically have the place to yourself. RVs only, no vans, tents, or truck/car camping.
They also have a nice RV for rent, or they have casitas/hotel rooms that look gorgeous and some even have their own private yards with soaking pools. You can even rent a private soaking pool easily online or at the front desk. All the pools are beautiful and clean and every part of the hot springs property is perfectly manicured and so relaxing. They have a cute common area with coffee and tea, and a shared cooking area. You can rent towels and robes, and they have a small gift shop. These hot springs do not feel touristy, but instead quaint and relaxing. The cost is very reasonable and you can tell they put a lot of heart and soul into the grounds.
The views are to die for. The soaking pools overlook the rio grande river with mountains in the background. I have never been to a hot springs better than this one, and you can park your RV right across the street! Perfection.
ScoutThe camp site had nice spacing , great environment and the views are nice . My only complaint would have to be that it’s pretty close to the Main Street so you will hear some cars passing by but other than that, it’s a great place to camp
GuideHighly recommend this clean campground! Unique camping next to rock (Boulder) formations! Love how far each campsite is spaced out! Beautiful view of sunsets!!!
