"A little off the beaten path but was worth it. Each campsite had a picnic area some even had shelters over them! The lower campground was right next to the river (very high when we were there)."

$45 - $75 / night
"It is off the highway but nice and secluded. Pretty location and outside of Las Vegas, NM. It isn’t a five star because the sites are pretty close together"
"4/5/2021 Right off the highway. One of the nicer KOA's we have stayed at in the Southwest."
"If you don't want the hook-ups and added safety, there is a large gravel lot adjacent to the gas station where you can boondock. Would stay again."
"Stopped for the night after a long drive. Spots are very nice for what we needed"

ScoutCould not get to camping area because the road was so bad.
GuideLovely Campground with great facilities. Most cites have full hook ups but some only have electricity. Keep in mind when booking. Nice hiking trails and the hosts were on their game, really keeping up with the grounds. I'd come back if I was passing through again.
RangerSite have everything except sewer but they do have a dump station. We visited in April so everything was open and as mentioned be back by 5pm cuz the gates get closed. Good place to visit Las Vegas and the South Camp had plenty of room for our 39’ trailer
TravelerFriendly staff, clean restrooms, everything works, better than most.
GuideThis was a nice place to stay for a couple nights. Check in was fast and friendly. They have a dog park. It is off the highway but nice and secluded. Pretty location and outside of Las Vegas, NM. It isn’t a five star because the sites are pretty close together
ScoutThey know what they are doing. A little pricey but is worth it. They are easy to deal with (efficient and thorough). Great location. Bathrooms are roomy and spotless. Lots of amenities. Sites are like a park, not like a big concrete pad. So nice.
GuideThis is a great little state park with nice hikes, friendly staff and great fishing. Our kids loved the playground and we enjoyed how quiet and beautiful the area is.
ScoutNot crowded. Stayed 5 days. Camped with Grandkids. Dog. Tent & van. Picnic table a plus
