Really a special spot, like nothing you've seen before in a camp site. All of the facilities were great and the art was spectacular!
A nice campground right off the highway. We stayed on a new site toward the back of the campground. Less highway noice. Nice view of the mountain near Tucumcari and great grill. They look to be working hard to improving this campground. Saw people working diligently well into the late afternoon/evening on improvement projects.
This is a great park. The park was clean can’t wait to come back.
People where polite. Campground was well kept and the facilities where clean. Perfect stay
Easy access to park and site. Best view for the area. Under new owner. Clean, friendly and does have a store.
Has showers and they’re warm!
Nice views of the lake and rocks from Bell Point campground. We stayed in site B19 and it was easy to back in to with our 20' camper. Electric was appreciated, but water was unavailable due to repairs, the dump station and showers were closed - making our stay shorter than expected. There were porta-potties available at the restrooms. The only place around to get water is in the town of Tecumcari, atleast a 30 min drive. If we're in the area and the water gets turned back on, we'd visit again. ATT signal is good and Starlink worked great here, no interruptions in school, work, streaming or gaming. Loved the views, did a bit of hiking around the lake area, saw a boat or two on the lake every now and then. We saw a roadrunner near our site which was really neat
The sites are nice for this kind of place. A little bit pricey but I wanted electricity to run my AC in my Tiger Moth. The staff is very friendly and gave me a cookie at check in. The bathroom is OK but two of the three men’s toilets were out of order. One sink was not working either. Good place to stop for an overnight.
Really nice KOA. Good views, quiet, some of the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen. The grass is well tended and makes for good tent spots.
We stayed here during our journey to the northwest. Not much to stop the relentless wind that whips through the park. We were just glad to have a level site with full hook-ups and showers.
The staff are friendly and helpful. The bathrooms & showers are clean, spacious & heated. WiFi spotty but very enjoyable night.
We stayed here primarily because it was on our route to Northern New Mexico and Colorado. It was exactly as we expected and we enjoyed an overnight here in June. Fortunately we had electric power for AC and were comfortable. Enjoyed some short hikes right from our campsite. Very isolated location between Tucumcari and Las Vegas, New Mexico, but that was our intended route. Marginal highway, but almost no traffic.
The area is nice, for desert lakes. There are trees and more opportunities for shade in the North and Bell point campgrounds. Cove campground is quite bare but almost every site has some kind of shade structure. We've stayed at both the "primitive" and established campsites with a 24' trailer. Its hot during the summer with storms that roll in almost every afternoon from June and start slowing down in August. Don't have anything that catches the wind up when they come. The lake is nice clear and warm. Great for bass and walleye. The weekends usually have a lot of people that disappear during the week. On the weekends the lake is full of fishermen and boaters and kayaks. The people in speedboats like to go by the kayakers and fishing boats as close and fast as they can to be big jerks in so little words, but thats just NM people in general. Anyways I will be coming back again.
We rolled in late at night, exhausted from a day on the road. We had a pull thru site. The gravel pads had potholes and our slide was so close to touching our neighbors slide. Pool is closed. Wouldn’t stay here for more than 1 night.
Clean sites and restrooms. Laundry facilities. Propane. AND they have a grill and will deliver dinner and breakfast! All pull through sites. A few trees. Nice view of Caprock mountain! This KOA has everything!
Spent one night here in mid may. Pretty nice, good clean bathouse. Sites are close but seems everyone was just staying one night. Everything worked including cable. Has semi covered picnic tables that looked good. They were actually pouring concrete pads in a new addition but existing pads are gravel. Helpful staff, easy check in.
We spent two nights and it only cost us $16. We were parked right on the lake, and being right after a holiday the lake was pretty much empty. They have several different campsites, with a website that makes it easy to reserve a spot. However, we called to ask, and ranger let us know we could come for first come first serve. They have signs that make finding your way around easy, also having stations that you can pay(cash only) for your campsite. The rangers were sweet and helpful as well as having a host, who was there all night in case of an emergencies. The restrooms/showers were clean and it looked to be recently remodeled. Also they had ramps going into the water for boats and a dock for fishing. Something else we learned about New Mexico, not being from here, April-May is a rainy and windy season. So be sure to check the weather before heading out
Has been closed for more than a decade. Anyone who left a positive review must have went to a different campground
We stayed at bell point campground and although it’s still a Rocky hike to the beach the views are breathtaking. Camp was quiet enough (depends on your neighbors). Deer cover the campground. Each camp site has a covered wind break area for eating lunch. No ATVs. Kids loved it and so did dogs. Friendly staff - the rangers gave the kiddos a coloring book and badge when we got here. All the sites are nice that I can tell but not all have water views
We pulled in last night and the check in was fast and easy. This is a journey KOA, so it’s not much in the way of amenities. That being said, this is one of the better “Journey KOA’s” we’ve stayed at. It’s got a descent little park for the kids, bathrooms, showers, a laundry mat and a dog park for your dogs. The store is closed for covid but they have a dinner and breakfast menu that you can call in and they’ll deliver to your site.
Small dog run. Playground could use an update. Good water pressure. Level sites. Spread out decently. Gravel/dirt roads through site. Plenty of picnic tables. Constant strong hog/cattle farm smell untold winds turned.
Short overnight at this clean KOA. We are still winterized, so we only used electric. Friendly staff. Spotty Wifi
We pulled in after dark. Staff had all of our reservation paperwork and provided a site map with the route to our spot. There was a forecasted freeze tonight so everyone had to run off tanks, but they allowed us to fill our fresh tank, so all was well.
Staff is friendly but not helpful. Clean and warm restrooms despite the cold. We paid the extra to be on concrete. Pull thru pad was not level. Hookups were in several inches of mud and made the biggest mess. The view was beautiful and Tucumcari was a neat place to see but I would not recommend this KOA. I paid too much for such a disappointment.
Can't give a ton of info here. We rolled in after hours, and like the guy on the phone said, my information was hung on the front door ready for me when I got there. Was able to get to my spot easily. Left before sun up, so can't say too much more.
Great facility . What a gem! We stayed at the new pull through sites on the back of the property. Full hook up. Great Mountain View. Well kept and super friendly hosts. Clean bathrooms and showers. A wonderful find .
Granted it was no one's fault that many of the trees had their leaves blown off, but it made for a very warm, non-shaded spot for the night! Restrooms very clean and stocked. Small store was nice and you could also order take-out from their small onsite restaurant.
