Nice State park

We stayed in the river campground which is right on the Rio Grande. Lots of families and group camping. Bathrooms were old and dated (didn’t use but peeked inside). Spots were level. ADA campsite was more than adequate for a wheelchair. It was nice to walk along the riverbank with the dogs.

Peaceful Campground

Came down to southern NM to visit my daughter at NMSU and stayed at Cabello State Park campground in Riverside view. Campground has very easy access and large pull through sites. With my NM state Park pass the over night stay is $4 with water/electric 30amp regularly $14. Sites with sewer include are $18 nightly. Nice level sites and super quite at night. Temperatures in August upper 80s and low 60s at night.

Caballo Lake’s Riverside Campground

Caballo Lake State Park has several campgrounds that aren’t represented on the Dyrt app map. We tent camped at the Riverside campground below the dam over Easter 2014. See my screenshot of the park map. Google map has 100s of reviews of this campground. It was ok. Kind of crowded and the Rio Grande flowed shallow and muddy (unlike in Del Rio, Texas, from where we had recently moved, where the river is beautiful, above and below Amistad Dam). Alas, at least it was nice to be outdoors.

Clean and convenient

This campground is well kept by the camp hosts. They are also really kind people. The only downside was the set of bathrooms right by our campsite were out of service. Being physically limited and having to walk clear across the campground was very difficult. Otherwise everything was great.
