Best Campgrounds near Salem, NM

Campground is very well laid out. Spots are spacious and nestled in and around the rocks. Easy to get in and out.

Nice quiet, safe, park outside of Deming. There are electric sites but none available for us so stayed at dry-camp site. There are many nice large fairly level sites and a new bathroom/shower bldg. that was clean, well-kept. Staff was helpful and friendly. Handicapped sites available. Probably the most wild prickly paer cactus we've seen on mountainside. Park Spring Creek day-use park within about a mile drive further down and up steep dirt road. Nice vistas. Cell service.

Poor restrooms. No soap dispensers. One-holers. This is in the regulars with water.

Road and camp site were good

I'm staying in the "blue" or blue bell which is a circa 60's 1-bedroom aluminium rig. No TV - fine. No 12V outlets for charging - I didn't think about that. At $106/night one. might think the crank-out windows would all a have a screen and not flap in the breeze. Heating and cooling is covered once you figure out how to use the mini-split and oil-filled electric heater. They have hot tubs with mineral water, big plus apparently, but that  is not reason enough to not have adequate hot water in the unit. As a seasoned traveler I realize first impressions can be off, but my take on the neighborhood is that I would not go out there alone after dark. This small "park" is self contained behind walls and an automatic gate controlled by pass-code that is only available on site. The wifi is strong and free. Cell coverage looks real strong, too.

Only State park where you can dig for thunder, eggs, and gems wonderful information center to learn about hard rock geology

Aguirre Springs Campground was even better than expected! The views were stunning and there was plenty of space and privacy at each site. Our favorite spot during our NM/AZ roadtrip!

Very scenic BLM campground. $7 a night ($3.50 seniors with pass). Each site shaded table and trash bin. Only vehicles up to 23 ft.

Always stay here on my way back to Texas or heading farther west. A few solid campsites on mossman road; roads are a little rough closer to the campsite but nothing crazy, should be good for a 2wd. Never see anyone here, besides a ranger this time. Good spot under open sky.

I loved the view from this campsite. If I had known better, I would have booked a site along the lake. There were plenty of sites and only maybe 1/5 were booked. Easy to back in and hook up in minutes. Plenty of open space and using my Starlink was a breeze. Hope to stay again!

This is a parking lot in the hills. Flat gravel and quiet after the atv's are gone.

This is a pretty nice campground. The campsites are fairly close together and there is little privacy. Good view of the lake and a decent amount of birds flying around. Good place for a family vacation but not a great place to get back to nature. When I was here in the bathrooms were being worked on and the only facilities was outhouses.

Great sites in a phenomenal place

Small and quiet campground near Deming NM. We stayed at one of the primitive sites. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful. It was very windy when we were there (January)

My bus was squeaking, twisting, driving at an angle, and it was a brutal drive... While I'll not come back because it's not well maintained, it does have very beautiful vistas, so that's why it got 3 stars.

This is a very nicely spaced campground. Can't really see the water from here but the sites have water and electric. The bathroom was being worked on so not open during the visit and the water level is at like 5 % capacity but there are lots of places to walk and bike and camping here in the winter provides very livable temperatures.

This is a pretty normal lake campground. Not a lot of shade or privacy but picnic tables and covered outdoor spaces. There are bathrooms close by and they seem fine. Quiet during the off season and nice hiking trails.

If it were to stay here again, I'd stay in this campground as the layout is a lot nicer and more private. This campground is full and none of the others are right now. Nice walking trails and spots with some privacy and full hook ups.
