Has Seen Better Days

2022: It was fine for a one night stay, but the lake is VERY low and you can’t see it unless you’re on the dam. 2024: I’m updating my review after we stayed here again this past summer. While the lake is still low-drought conditions, The campground has improved. Clean restrooms/showers, not very crowded, and nice play area. We enjoyed staying here and would stay here again.

We arrived Fri afternoon without a reservation, but the camphost got us on the phone with reservations and within a few minutes, we were booked and ready to set up camp. The host and the person at reversations were both very helpful and very pleasant. This is our second visit without reservations, and we would be happy to visit again.

Rainbow Campers

A ways off the road but very nice park Online reservation system SUCKS but we took our chances as did others we spoke to and no problem. Very quiet and clean .

Reservoir

Quiet, which is really important to me. Pleasant walking, decent restrooms. Lake is low, but scenic.

Never Again

Sights were easy to drive into & set up, level & clean (if you don’t mind toilet paper in surrounding bushes). There were a couple beautiful hiking trails. But that’s about as good as it got. Bathroom were disgusting. Ant problem is out of control. Then after sunset, the locals started to show up. They managed to fit 6 trucks into a two vehicle site. They finally finished setting up camp around 1AM. Just in time for the drunken camp site to our north to hike back up from the river throwing F-bombs and racist remarks throughout the night (which is always fun to explain to 5 year old). But the best part was the two teenagers who tried to steal my mountain bike on two occasions in the middle of the night.

Great Stay

25’ travel trailer, found a perfect pull through spot and dry camped for a week. Beautiful hike around the lake, our dogs loved it. Only downside is showers are cold and have a non adjustable spray nozzle.

Excellent spot; clean, inexpensive ($14, water and electric), nice hiking around the lake. They do have a fly problem (not unique). Would return.

Great Spot

Has everything you need for a good time: trails, scenery, and water all with the convenience of full hookups.

Park campground looked great, however, every site had a occupied sign on it and at least 7 were unoccupied. There was NO camp host to be found at either campground. Their rigs were there, just they weren't. This was a Friday evening and I would expect someone around to do their job.

Earthdog

We were traveling west on I 40. Great first stop in NM. We were in 23 foot trailer. Loop A Of Campground has water/ 50 amp. Cement shelter and picnic table. Bathroom was clean and shower was hot. Facilities are pretty warn, area was so dry, no fires allowed. Easy hike down to lake.

Excellent!

Cannot say enough good things about this campground. Views are spectacular, sites are spaced nicely and mostly level, and everything is well taken care of. Campground staff was nice and accommodating when our 37’ trailer felt too tight in the site we originally reserved. Facilities were clean and the playground was nice for my son to burn off some energy. You won’t find a better value!

No Hot Water For Shower

After finding our site number ( printed on lower part of picnic table ) we were good. We had a nice pull through with water and electric. Didn’t feel cramped at all. 2 bars AT&T but no antenna TV. Nice bathrooms and hiking trails. It’s a Corps of Engineer park run by the state as far as I recall. They are trying to get the new water heater put in.

Very Nice Park

We always like New Mexico state parks. They provide nicely kept parks at reasonable rates. This park has loop A which has sites with electric with some having water and some that don't. Loop B has no water or electric, but has nice sites and is closer to the lake. You can reserve some sites online, but we choose to do the first come, first serve sites. Ours had both electric and water and was a pull through. A21 was our site. Very nice and quiet park. Word of caution. If you're looking for the dump station, you won't find it close by. It's way out on the road coming into the park by the Los Tanos Equestrian Trail Park.

Clean With A View

Nice park, very quiet, and friendly staff. We just stayed for one night and it was perfect. Note: the sites are electric only.

Santa Rosa Lake

Family had a good time fishing, camping and kayaking. The jet skies came real close to where we ere fishing, so we moved. Glad camp site had electric, showers had plenty of hot water and finally price was right for $10 per night. Only bad thing was the mosquitos and flys

Beautiful

Def worth the 8 mile drive from town. Clean showers, pull through spaces with grills, playground, and space. Very quiet, beautiful view of lake, very reasonably priced. Stayed here on way to and from Grand Canyon trip with family.

Stay Here. Don't Waste Time In Santa Ros

The stay was great we run into a little problem in Santa Rosa made our way out here and enjoyed it would recommend staying out here.
