Packed in like sardines. Witnesses some employees be rude to patrons. Not a dog friendly setup. You are a commodity here for corporate profits. Not a guest with space to even put out chairs or awnings if you have a decent sized rv. I’m in a C. 3’ from my neighbors slide. You can sit in the street I guess.

I’ll give it two stars because this place is free, but in this park a great deal of it has an enormous amount of cow and horse poop. Now, we are from the country, so we aren’t afraid of a little livestock poop, but this campground possesses about 1 turd per square foot. That’s a little excessive for us lol. Smells wonderful as well. No water or dump. Decent ATT. Many of the sites are severely unlevel, so we did not attempt to stay, but even if we could have leveled the wife would not have stayed here because of the level of manure and the flies created by them.

I don’t see other people mentioning the turds, so maybe they only graze there in September. Seasonal creek gone by this time of year as well.

This campground is primarily used by mountain bikers. $10 a night. Very close together and small sites, so no big RVs will fit. If you veer to the right at the main BLM info sign, on road Q .5, or something like that, there is plenty of wide open and free BLM camping. 

This is also an OHV area, so be prepared for that, if you’re annoyed by razors and dirt bikes. One or a few occasionally will ride by where you are. Doesn’t bother me. There are a pistol range and also a rifle range on the property. People obviously fire plenty of guns here. If that scares you, just be aware. You will hear gunfire here. That being said.. sand dunes to rival the sand dunes park, and you can dirt bike them. Plenty of names mountains within view

Wonderful view of being inside a canyon. Chance to see bighorns running up the canyon walls. Good ATT signal being right on interstate.. but it’s right on the interstate lol. Convenient but you can hear it. Doesn’t bother me when sleeping but it may you. Nice trail along river. Easy access to the river for dogs. Swimming hole for people only. Few stock ponds they call lakes.

Stopped and looked but didn’t camp. If you can snag a spot.. look out, fantastic most scenic camp ever!

Plenty of camping on BLM land. Be advised, signage recommends high clearance vehicles.

Roads are pretty typical of public lands.. go slow, but we got a space with a private campsite and fire ring with a killer view. And… it’s free so.. doesn’t get much better than that haha.

One of the top 2 prettiest sites I’ve ever camped in hands down. Roads are garbage in some spots, typical, but boy are the views worth it. Plus.. it’s free! Screw that KOA and come here.

Little bumpy coming in and went slow on class C with LCI jacks that hang low. The views are magnificent. No camping signs before the camping areas but many camp there anyway as well. Awesome stuff to climb here. ATV here.

The Mountain View’s can’t be beat. Nice staff and quiet and peaceful. Mud season you will get it all over you and your animals tho. Even at the site. Thick sticky mud so be prepared lol.

I’ll give this place a 5 for scenery and beauty/nature and a 2 for lake access for waterfront sites. From Rosa Loop (the full hookup loop) it’s about 2 miles to the beach each way even though it’s literally the ugh below you. There is a steep Rocky and sticker burr infested slope. Very steep. Be prepared to climb down and up with your kids or animals or drive walk instead. Beach is kinda meh but my dogs enjoyed it. All required baths from the mud afterwards tho lol. Peaceful place. Out of the way from interstates so probably a lesser visited park. Still.. at close to $500 spent (after day fees not included in the online reservation $9/day or pay $80 for annual pass), I’d prefer easier access to the main attraction.. the water. So.. I’d come back. Maybe. But it’s a hard 3 for me.

Unfortunately contracting/spreading covid is more likely when you camp alone, so that’s off limits for now, but you can day use the park, and mingle with all the other day users.. much safer 😂 Anyway, it’s a gorgeous place with the highest concentration of petrified wood known to man.

Great scenery here, and luckily New Mexico now allows camping again at its state parks, but… there are about a trillion sandburs on the grass here. We have 4 dogs and have spent an inordinate amount of time saving their paws from the burs. Love the looks, wouldn’t bring pets.

I give this a 4 because it’s free lol. The city was nice enough to provide around 10 or so (we were the only campers for 2 nights) free sites with power (20/30/50) and water. There is also a dump site on property. All free! Duck pond and golf course also. The town is nothing but oil pumpers everywhere and it smells of oil in the air, but if you’ve been driving awhile it’s a welcome stop. And… free! ;)

In the middle of nowhere but so awesome to stop at on a long trip. Beautiful lake with a beach. Lovely trees everywhere around your sites. Gravel but mostly level.

One of the prettiest places I’ve ever been. Waterfalls abound, and the blue water Lee Creek is to die for. AT&T non existent.

Park on a man made reservoir. Not bad, and better than an rv park, but I likely wouldn’t come again

Gorgeous waterfront sites with excellent fishing. Fun trails! Highly recommended

Beautifully creepy with its Spanish moss covered trees all through the lake. Quiet and great trails for you and the doggies!
