Mine Canyon Area — Ute Lake State Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Lakeside dirt sites on the edge of Ute Lake State Park, Mine Canyon Area draws day visitors and overnight campers to the water's edge in eastern New Mexico. Campers report the area gets busy, though nights tend to quiet down. Roads are navigable by a standard car with a trailer. Amenities are minimal: drinking water and port-a-potties on site, with the latter kept clean and well-serviced. Reservations are available and worth booking ahead during the mid-May through late-August season, particularly on weekends. Other campgrounds near Ute Lake State Park include Eagle Point to the north, if this area fills up.

Nice but overpriced at $18/night

Very nice spot on the lake (great swimming), quite busy, but peaceful and quiet night. Overpriced for just a spot of dirt and a couple of port a potties. Credit for clean, well serviced potties. Roads easily navigable with a Subaru and trailer.
