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.
Scout
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.
Traveler
Only two other campers. Sunday night so quiet. Lots of flys and minimal shade trees. But right on the pond and a peaceful nights sleep.
Guide
Our site was relatively level, the park pretty quiet. We had a 50 amp connection that dropped L2 sometime in the night. Strangely, it resumed by turning off the 120 breaker. I’m thinking the pedestal has loose wiring but hey, I got the other half of my panel energized without relocating or burning down. Water pressure is around 30 p.s.i. and the sewer drop was threaded. Park cleanliness and ease of navigating was fine. Free WiFi and cable TV connectivity as well as propane for purchase (cash only). I’d give this place 5 stars if I didn’t have to go into the office.
The guy at the desk has his political opinions that he shares unsolicited. I’m game for free speech but geez, I just wanted to rent a space, not become an antisemitic, Putin loving Neo-Nazi misogynist that gets his news exclusively from an echo chamber on Facebook. I was kinda feeling sorry for how low his life must be to have so angst but hey, I just wanted a space, not adopt a
GuideOverall 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.
Traveler
Very clean campground with many spots to camp overlooking the lake. Good bathrooms too.
TravelerI 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.
Guide
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.
GuideRocky 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.
ScoutAfter a long drive we pulled in a parked right beside the fishing pond. Liked listening to children play at the ballpark. Area had been recently mowed but found a used syringe in the grass just outside our camper door.
GuideThe 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
LegendNice state park. Can get windy in the spring. No cell service but Starlink connection is fine.
TravelerFirst 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.
RangerI 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
Traveler
Dirty restrooms, smoking in restrooms, not a pleasant stay.
Scout
Excellent rates for both tenting & RVing, pull-thru sites, friendly people, pet friendly, clean restrooms/showers, laundry facility….still enjoying my stay.
GuideNot 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
GuideJust stayed for 1 night so it was okay. No other people
RangerAnd the bathroom was locked because of freezing. No water anywhere. Lake is pretty and we used our bike to check out all the different walks and stuff which was nice but disappointed it was all locked up. Water is very low.
Ranger
There are at least 4 formal campgrounds and several more primitive places to camp. You certainly can choose what works for you. No real shade anywhere and I would think it would be brutally hot in the summer. Pretty darn warm right now. 14 bucks for a nice flat spot with services. 8 dollar charge to reserve online and all the sites with services require it.
Traveler
Nice stop over park, we stayed 2 nights. It was pleasant and they do a daily breakfast and nightly dinner. We purchased the dinner the first night, it wasn’t 5 star dining but it hit the spot nonetheless, especially after driving all day.
TravelerIt’s November and it’s 80° the day and 30° at night. They have water and electric. I’m getting quite a few channels over broadcast. My T-Mobile Internet is at four bars and my AT&T cell phone is at two bars. Stay here couple nights going to move on tomorrow.
TravelerI went there yesterday and was disappointed to see that it was just a parking lot at the visitor center. I ended up going to the state park because it was too hot to not have A/C for my dog
ScoutI only stayed one night, but this place is great for longer stays. Very well maintained site with a small grill, picnic table under a canopy, and garbage can. I stayed during the week and there were other people, but each site was very spaced out.
Scout
Booking and finding the park was quite seamless. We do not need hook ups so the price was $10.00. There were no facilities, no water and ‘campsite’ was just an overgrown parking area. Great diner, (Penny’s) just down the street. So if you just need to pull in and get off the road for the night, this fits the bill
