Leasburg Dam State Park
Reviewed Nov. 20, 2023

Very quiet campground

General: Very small (24-site) campground north of Las Cruces. Sites are in three loops and all but six of them have electric hookups. All sites need to be reserved. 

Site Quality: Sites are gravel with a concrete pad; they are generous in size and spaced far enough apart to provide more than sufficient privacy. Each site has a covered picnic table on a concrete pad. 

Bathhouse: Clean and basic. Challenging to get water out of the taps (hint: the far-left sink in the women’s bathroom will give you the most water). Didn’t use the shower so cannot comment on that. 

Activities: In addition to several short trails that traverse the campground, there is one established short trail (Upper and Lower Mogolian trail). The ranger recommended a nearby hike less than 10 miles away that takes you through a slot canyon and then you can hike to a mesa; I highly recommend this one. There are also two small cactus gardens, a playground, and an amphitheater (although I don’t know if any programs were offered). 

Aside from an occasional train, this campground was very quiet; two nights was the perfect amount of time to spend at this campground.
