This reservoir is being kept really really low due to maintenance problems and the only fish are carp. So basically the campground is open but the main event (The Lake) is no bueno. Staff says been this way a number of years and will be for likely many more. Not worth the time IMO

Friendly and helpful owners! Unfortunately rv park was closed for winter season, unable to push my vehicle/camper up the rocky hill, Dave was kind to get out of his way and help out! Beautiful view and affordable rates, just go in the right season!

Delightful day trip with loads of beautiful scenery, great staff and a memorable train experience moving between the cars and a great lunch stop refueling is for the servings half of the day.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The camp host and ranger were super nice, friendly, and helpful. It was absolutely gorgeous! The only real issue is that the lake water is so low that they only turn the water on in the campground from 3:30pm-6pm. So, if you want to use the flushing toilets, showers, your water spigot, and/or fill up your tanks, that's when you do it. They do have vault toilets that are really clean. Also, if you have T-Mobile service, there is none there. Zero. But, overall, we really enjoyed our stay here.

El Vado was great. Although the lake is nearly empty due to construction, the campground and the hosts more than made up for it. They had campfires, Sunday morning breakfasts and kept everything clean as a whistle. They were all extremely helpful and attentive to your needs or questions. Brent and Kathy even picked up something for me when they went to Chromo to the Lowe's grocery store (nearest town). Water was available at the nice hot showers with flush toilets from 4-6 only. Again, due to the work being done. You could also fill your tanks or containers at your campsite water spigot during that period reach day. The water was clear and clean. There are also restrooms that don't flush for the other times you need one. There are trails for hiking or dog walking. A playground for the kids, a herd of elk, prairie dogs, squirrels, and humming birds (that I saw). Overall, this is a campground in NM that I'll be returning to. 😁
