Sumner Lake

What a view, amazing. We pulled off for a little break. The good energy here was just what I needed.

One of our favorite NM State parks for camping. Quiet in the Spring and Fall and plenty of space for walking.

After a long day of driving through Texas and into New Mexico I stumbled upon Lake Sumner! I was just looking for an out of the way spot to park for the night, to let the dogs out for a little bit before going to sleep for the night.....but WOW! What a pleasant surprise to find this beautiful lake! It was evening when I pulled in. A few people fishing along the shore line, but as I continued into the park further, there were primitive camping sites as well as full hook up sites. I chose to continue on to the "lookout" area, and let me tell you....it was beautiful! From the top of the look out you could see most of the lake below. The area is a perfect spot for watching the sun set or rise....both were beautiful IMO... If you are traveling on hwy 84/60 and you want to add some beauty to your trip, make the drive out to the park. It's only 6 miles off the hwy, but it's well worth it!

Beautiful and quiet lake, so quiet you could hear people from across the lake. We stayed at Pecos Campground site 10 - spots are huge, water and electric worked great and loved the full covered patio and table. Only issue: the entire place is covered heavily in goat heads and stickers.

This park was good, I just came at a bad time. The wind was blowing in from the west at 30mph but I still hit up the basketball court. The wind was strong enough to rock my van. I tried to communicate with the camp hosts Dwight and Becca, but I only heard the sound of dogs barking after a few minutes I left and found my campsite, I didn't talk to a single soul the 48 hours I stayed there, except for an awkward encounter with a ranger in the bathroom area.
