    $14 for electric and water. Dump in area. Desert Beach walking distance. Covered Picnic tables with fire pits. $12 fee to reserve in addition to fee to stay. Plenty of places to park on or near the beach. Nice areas. Clean. Very windy while we're here. We will definitely be back. We assume summer will be very busy so we suggest you reserve in advance. You may not get a spot without it but we saw plenty of parking on and very near the beach and no signs saying you can't park overnight there. We saw a fee RVs and pull behinds parked. Don't know if they stayed overnight.

    I came for the desert experience and was not disappointed. The camp host was hospitable and welcoming. I enjoyed a hike and time on the lake shore.

    We loved our stay there. Campsites were clean. There are a lot of places to walk and enjoy the bunnies,quail,and many other creatures. We had a bird feeder out and were very entertained. However, seeds on the ground is not allowed. The drive to the water wasn't long. You will get stuck in the sand without 4X4. Lot's of campers beside the water. Campground has electricity and water. Dump stations are close by.

    It is such a wondeful place to camp. I have zero experience camping but most definitely would recommend this place. There is electric power, running water, a decent table with shade and 2 parkings spaces. The host is so friendly and helpful and tries his best to keep the park nice and neat. I would definitely reserve a camping spot before coming. BTW to my most recent visit I brought my dog since the place is dog friendly, as long as you bring the leash. The view is wonderful with the lake near and clear skies.

    If you love water sports and you're looking for a good spot to camp, this state park is a good bet. It's clean, family friendly, and people are respectful of the diverse needs of the travelers. We had electric and water on site, with a dump stationWe stopped here so my husband could kayak, and he was not disappointed. I found the landscape unappealing.

    We loved this campground!! Clean site, water/electric hookups with dump station on site, nice loop, didn't use the restroom facilities but looked clean as we came by! 3 different covered picnic areas in the middle of the loop with grills to use. Our site was #11 and you could see Elephant Butte Lake from the site! Nice covered awning with picnic table provided. Fire pit also available. Saw lots of wildlife in the area, short drive to the lake! We had so much fun here!

    Arrived Monday. Sadly rained all night. I only had a tent. We got flooded. Can I get money back for day I didn't use. Never got a response. Clearly I spoke to the camp host and told him. He never offered a refund. Just said I can't guarantee the weather. I was the only one with a tent everyone else dry and got sleep Why no refund????!
