Best Campgrounds near Santa Rosa, NM

Lovely 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.

Arrived late at night so didn’t get to take in the beauty until morning. Sensational sunrise and beautiful views of the dam. There are some pay to camp sites and some primitive, so helpful to arrive earlier to navigate as no cell reception most of way from highway.

It’s 15 dollars a night

Friendly staff, clean restrooms, everything works, better than most.

This 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.

Cell service is spotty, but the view is amazing, beautiful lake, beautiful sunsets, all around a great place to stay. Off 40 a bit but 100% worth it. Great fishing, great camp host! Very very quiet.

This is the Conchas state park, you have to reserve (and pay) for camping on the state park website, or by using the QR code at the visitor center. With all that said, it was well worth the beautiful sunset view from the Bell Point campground. There are covered picnic tables and electric hookups at most sites. There are bathrooms at each campground although, they were closed at the time of my visit. Not sure if that’s just because of the season or budget cuts. I hope it’s not the latter!

Sadly, the Lake is low, but it is a great overnight spot. Can’t beat the price. Just a bit off the beaten path. It was quite windy though.

For a short notice location it was great. Easy to book online. A bit noisy with the semi traffic but made for a good nite. A complimentary shower would be nice considering the price.

Overall it is what you would expect for a gas station RV spot. It serves a purpose which is what I am rating. We were initially in RV site #1 but this had to much foot traffic with everyone stopping for gas walking their pets. Also just more traffic in general. We moved to RV site 8 which was better. Had to contact Loves for both sites. No power initially at site 1 which was an easy fix on their end. Site 8 had the sewer connection locked and no code was communicated to us up front. The staff inside the Loves was very friendly.

Very clean campground with many spots to camp overlooking the lake. Good bathrooms too.

I planned out a stop here on a long western tour. I planned to stop for the night. When I arrived, the park was flooded. The area that ran along the lake was not flooded was OK, but it was a road with picknick shelters, much less suitable for camping than the flooded areas would have been. I felt exposed and in-the-way, so I moved on to the next stop. Assuming it dries out, there should always be a place to stop.

Loved camping here! Arrived late Sunday night, whole park was pretty busy. Found a spot right by the river with lots of shade, downside was it was super close to the road. Wasn't too bad since park closes relatively early. Got a crazy thunderstorm after sunset, but decided to hunker down for the night, instead of dashing. We stayed warm and dry, thankfully. Campground ranger came around to check if we were okay, and to give a verbal warning about leaving if we need to. For me personally, I wouldn't come on the weekends due to how populated it was, but perfect and quiet during the weekdays.

Rocky Point was one of two campgrounds we saw in Santa Rosa Park. All sites had picnic tables, some sites had electricity and water, and some sides just had water. The bathrooms in Rocky point had flush toilets and showers. The bathrooms were very clean. The camp host was very friendly. This was a very nice campground and not too far from Highway 40.

The drive to this park takes us back in time through the tiny town of Villanueva. Once through the gates I was amazed at the fast flowing Pecos River right next to the tree shaded sites. A gem. Good hiking trails too!



Pleasantly surprised by this place. We pulled our van in at 9 pm and paid $10 at pay station. We had a great 3 mile morning walk. The entire site is litter-free. Bathrooms are incredibly clean

Nice state park. Can get windy in the spring. No cell service but Starlink connection is fine.

First time stay while on a multi-state trip. Nice to have some trees and greenery in the desert. The covered picnic table was great with the hot sun, even in Spring. No cell coverage. Gates close at 7pm or 9pm depending on the season, so make sure to make it in before closing time.

I took the last site on short notice with electricity for four nights over the weekend, the handicap site. I went back and double checked, the NMSP website has not clearly state that only a van or very short class C would fit in the spot. I got my 20 foot trailer in but my truck is sticking out into the road a tiny bit. The sites are very close together and unfortunately, right after I arrived a couple of families set up right next to me complete with screaming kids and yapping dogs. Campers with kids and dogs should have their own camping loops, maybe their own campgrounds. So many people do not appreciate the quiet and solitude of a natural woods. As soon as the kids arrived, it seemed like they were told to scream as loud as they could. Disgusting. So one star for this campground and the poor layout

Dirty restrooms, smoking in restrooms, not a pleasant stay.

Not one of my favorites. Sits a little off the lake so I'd try one of the other campgrounds that are closer if you want to be closer. Not busy at all but lots of traffic during the day

Just stayed for 1 night so it was okay. No other people
