35 miles west of Tucumcari, NM off HWY 104
Price: $14 for a 50A electric and water site on a level large gravel site.
Big Rig Friendly: Yes
Setting: All dirt roads and sites & extremely dusty. Generously sized site had a sheltered picnic table with a pedestal BBQ grill (which could not be used as they had a no wood or charcoal burning ban due to extremely high fire danger). There is a dump station at the campground entrance. The campground host was very helpful and friendly. Many sites overlook Conchas Lake and there are primitive sites at the lake’s edge. The scenery includes many shortish coniferous trees and desert plants among the large rock strewn landscape. If you like walking/hiking/biking there are trails and roadways inside and outside the park. The night sky is gorgeous as are the sunsets. The park was very quiet during our stay but I can imagine lots of noise in the summer. During our stay, there were high winds on several days including one night with wind gusts of 45 mph. We received five bars of Edge on our AT&T cell phone which was sufficient for talking and texting. The park advertised Wi-Fi but it will not be up and running until May 6. The OTA TV brought in 2 analog and 2 digital channels.
