If you need to take a break from the party scene, this park area will give a quiet spot and dark sky for star gazing. I love this area for its huge RV spots. There is water and electricity. There is good cell reception if you want to work remotely, nothing but fresh, clean air and blue sky.

Great camp-hosts, Jason and his wife Kristen. Please note that there is no lake nearby this campsite anymore. It is dry. The showers were great though! Best showers I have had in a month!

I stayed here for one night on my way down to Bisbee, AZ. This campground was lovely. Really well kept. Gorgeous views of lake and buttes! Sunset pretty awesome too. Wish I had stayed several nights. I tent camped. Site 36 would have been the better choice!

I love this campground. The facilities are immaculate and the sites are not crammed up on top of each other. Also, its some way from the weekend warriors that make a lot of noise and trash up the lake! Summertime their could be a lot of flies, but other than that it’s a 10 of 10 campground. Water and power are great, excellent cell reception and dump station on site!

Absolutely beautiful, quiet, epic scenery. Perfect for tent or RV camping. Excellent private picnic tables and shelter per site, electric and water (30amp), clean camp toilets and large, clean restrooms and showers. Safe, plenty of hiking or horseback riding trails around the lake and butte. Fairly large sites with plenty of foliage and privacy room between each. Short drive to T or C. A well maintained and beautiful state park for New Mexico. Loved the stay here and will likely return. Very reasonably priced nightly rates for private campsites with partial hookups, large covered picnic table, and fire/grill pit per site. Highly recommend, if traveling through NM, or wanting a great spot to camp with day trips into Truth or Consequences, or into Hatch and Hatch Village nearby (45min or less drive time from the state park to Hatch, 15min to Elephant Butte, 20min to T or C). Just the drive through the park itself has spectacular views overlooking the lake, with snow-capped mountains on your horizons.

Pros - Quiet. Beautiful vistas. Excellent campground hosts. Dispersed rv sites are great. Clean restrooms with hot showers. The campground is kept very clearn. Nice shelters for picnic tables. Sandhill cranes are passing through this time of the year. Walking down from Three Sisters one can see hundreds of Canada geese and Sandhlls. Trail that extends from here south for many miles for good walking, running, biking. Cons?

By far the largest sites of any NM State Park. 50 amp service. The camp host runs a tight ship. Sites are immaculate. Really enjoy coming to this state park. Great cell service on both Verizon and AT&T

Quiet and peaceful. Facilities are older and in need of updating and renovation but are well maintained. Restrooms and bathhouse are clean. Camp host is friendly and maintains the individual sites beautifully with pride and care.

Nice big spots. Decent bathrooms. Close to town. Well worth the price.

Campground was good. Clean area but no access to the water because the level was low. Camp host never came around except to yell at the neighbors for their dog not being tied up and the guy had an injured leg and drove a little 4 wheeler to the dumpsters. Saw scorpions in the bathroom, a couple millapedes and big black tarantulas.
