Brantley Lake

Deanna Ford

Was really looking forward to getting in the lake, but we were traveling in an RV and no real lake access via foot. The dump station was under renovation, which would have been helpful to know ahead of time. The bathrooms were clean, park was quiet, beautiful sunrises and sunsets....a good place for a zero day on our RV trip.

This is a very nice park. The sites are big. The surrounding area is very pretty. The bath/shower houses are updated & clean.

We reserved spot 38 in the Limestone Campground; it had a nice view, the tent pad was level and easy to set up on, our spot was quiet, a bit further away than most spots. Unfortunately, the electricity did not work and the restrooms were closed. Very disappointing. Check the electricity before setting up!

I found it to be pretty barren. Not many trails. Few birds. Too windy to kayak when we were there. Not interesting shoreline anyway. Lots to do off site though.

Did not have high expectations of Brantley Lake SP, so there was no disappointment when arriving. You don’t need to stop at the HQ building if you have a reservation just go to your site. The park is void of most trees there are a few Ponderosa Pines that have been in the park for a long time but there are also dead ones. Other shade is pick nick table covers, and some shrubs. The RV parking pads are paved but need some repairs, we had a view of the lake but the water levels are low. When we arrived we found out that the Dump station is closed, did not get any notification of this. Also while here the main water pump failed in the park so water pressure was low. We visited the park for 7 days and enjoyed the relative quietness but you can hear the truck traffic along Hwy 285 toward Artesia. We did take a day to drive to Carlsbad Caverns NP a must if you are in the area. There are some high winds and dust storms that can periodically pass through this area.
