This place isn’t it. The only good thing is the price for electric and water sites, and they had availability. while I followed google to get here there was still an opportunity for a wrong turn and confusion. The trail in is a bit rough and you cross a sketchy one lane bridge. It doesn’t seem like a state park at all. I also dislike that all the sites are pull through. It’s extremely weird of a set up, a lot with pull through but you have to navigate around the plug in, without extra space. It’s all dirt. Fairly well levelled considering. No privacy from others, you’re all lined up. There is some shade. Nice picnic table areas. The check in visitors centre seems like a storage container or temporary set up. The signage was a bit hard to follow as well. Not any nice scenery. I didn’t even bother checking the Dam. No hiking trails outside a trail to go fishing. It did the trick for the night that I needed it too. And ouff- no dump station. Yikes.

Shade on a hot day. Bring your own goodies and drinks. Some fishing and some swimming. Bring a rope and a floaty. Life jacket and a fishing pole. Oh yeah! A chair and tarp for shade or shelter from rain and wind.

Great campground for RV or tent camping. I went here in October with my family for a weekend camping trip. Online we were only able to reserve a developed spot with electricity and water hookups for an RV for $14 per night, but on-site you can get a tent site for less. The temperature was great, there was free firewood and fire pits, and the bathrooms were positively luxurious (heated, flush toilets, and showers). We went on a short walk with the kids and found a playground with lots of goat heads and other thistles and briars that they named pokey-park. The river was fun to walk around, play in the mud, and dig for freshwater clams. There was some sort of crane migration going on so hundreds of large cranes were constantly flying overhead in huge V-formations. I will definitely be coming back next year.

Quiet, clean park near the bosque and agricultural fields. Well maintained restrooms, small playground for the kiddos, and plenty of birds. We visited in March before irrigation season, not the most colorful but still enjoyable. Will be returning when the river is flowing

This camp ground was a nice place to stay. The area was pretty. Our site was clean and close to the bathrooms. The shower was nice and hot. The restrooms were clean. The gentleman managing the place was nice and helpful. He suggested some places to go see while we are in the area. Our table had a solid cover over it which was nice. There is a creek that runs through here but it was dry. It was nice and quiet. We would stay here again.

Great little place to camp. It's quiet and 3 min from the lake.

Although very simple, my family and I love Percha Dam State Park. Percha is our go to place when we want to get away for a weekend. It's peaceful yet full of life. I always enjoy my experience here and I love the sound of the running water (Dam). It almost feels like home away from home when camping. People and staff are very friendly. I've seen Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops enjoy this park, I have seen families and friends gather here all for a good time. Important stuff to know... Restrooms and showers are available, spaces for RVS are well spaced out, pet friendly, staff on site, always monitored for safety and etc, fire pits, fishing, and hookups for RVs.

Nice and clean park. Lots of access to the Rio Grande for fishing. There is a playground, hook ups for RVs, and nice, covered picnic tables. The bathrooms are clean, with showers for campers. There is also a nice covered, group dinning area for outdoor events. Pleasant surprise. We will be back!
