For a bit of relaxation, the natural hot springs of Truth or Consequences are only a short drive north, providing a unique way to unwind after a day of desert hiking.

Convenient store to visit when fishing at Caballo Lake. We ordered large minows and got some that were very small.

This is a GREAT Bait shop! Live baits too, They also sell fishing licenses for the year, day or 5 day.. They have foods, ICE, and most everything you'd need..The staff is Very Friendly and know some good History about the area. Ask Her about Roosevelt's Cabin that he used for Gold prospecting up in the Caballo mountains!! They like Minerals n Crystal's, so check out the ones they have for sale and display.

Very nice, clean park with hookups. Very reasonable in price. Becca met us outside & showed us where to park. Very helpful…. Had many suggestions on places to go& things to do. There is a bait shop there with everything anyone would need to fish! We would go there again if back in the area!

We stop at Lil Abners for minnows, and to say hi to Sadie the big cute loveable dog. This place is great, and the people that own it are friendly. Plus they sell Muddy water Catfishing merchandise here!

Love this place! Nice shade. Store is stocked with fishing gear and had a nice variety of essentials. I'm sorry I can't remember her name... The new owner but she was very nice and fun to visit with. The only reason I gave this place 4 stars and not 5 is because it's has interstate noise and I know there's nothing they can do about that. Thank you for a great week! Hope to see you again!
