Yucca Campground

It was very easy to get to the park and just on the outskirts of Logan, which was convenient. The park itself is pretty large and nice. We drove out on a spur of land accessible due to such low water levels and captured some beautiful sunset pictures.

The sites are fairly close and little privacy between them. Some were better than others, so try to look at the satellite view and see if you can score one with some trees. There were lots of goathead burrs all around the sites, which caused our pup some pain. The grounds in the camping area weren’t very well kept and the bathrooms and showers were mediocre.

If you’re coming for a purpose, it’s fine. Or, if you just need a place to stop for the night, it would be good. I would not make this a destination.

The price was right (Veterans rate), but it was lackluster and nasty showers. Lake levels are at record lows (depressing). Speed limits through the park is 15mph, but many are driving 35-40, raising a lot of dust/dirt.
I was fortunate enough to get 3-bar T-mobile signal and could stream the news and such.
They have Wi-Fi (good signal), but it's pay for play.. and expensive! $3 per hour, $8 per day.. and only one device at a time! Crazy right? Cannot say that I would return.

Stayed here many times over the last few years, good place to stop between western Oklahoma and parts west. Campground seems to attract about half local fisherman and half travelers, seems many from Texas come over here to camp and fish Ute Lake. This time here we encountered car campers next to us - a family of four, two kids in a small car. It seemed odd that they didn't have a camper or tent, they slept in the shelter, kids slept in the car. Were they homeless? Maybe on the run? it was a little creepy. I know state parks want to offer camping opportunities to all citizens, but my opinion is tent campers and RV campers really don't mix unless the tent camping is along with the RV, and to allow car camping/sleeping on the ground next to RV campers is a little too much. So for ease of reservations and location we give 3 stars, rough nature of park loses a couple of stars.

We are new to the camper world and we picked this because most in the area didn’t have electric or water. It was clearly favored by boaters, but everyone seemed nice.

Our site was pretty close to the bathrooms/showers which were open. Bathrooms didn’t have soap, and showers were the push button type (not sure if that normal since we are new to this). One stall was large for handicap or in my case, a mom and toddler). Our site had a covered picnic area, which I highly recommend as the sun was hot and the shade was sparse. Dogs were allowed but all were chained or close to their owners. Our site was back in but clearly and easy to do. Many sites were pull through. Dumpsters were empty and close when we went (July 2021). The dump site was at another location but free with reservation and had water to rinse it.

It was really hot and humid when we went. We had a hybrid so it was hot then freezing at night. However, better than tents (we did see those too). If I had to drive through the area again, I would stay here. However the path google took us on was less than ideal (no open gas stations around 8-9 pm for 72 miles) so we had to drive 20 miles out of the way to avoid running out. There is gas in Logan though. We just didn’t have quite enough to make it there.

This turned out not to be very convenient to our route, as it's 20 mi north of Tucumcari, but it sufficed. In all fairness, NM was having a heat wave, but to camp on this sweep of prairie with no shade was brutal. The park has one of those wifi services where you can get 30 mins free, which was helpful for catching up on emails and such. We had good Verizon and OATV. We don't fish or swim in lakes (and this one was LOW), so not much here for our interests. Sites are pretty far apart, but lack charm. Shelter had a lot of little bits of trash around.

Stayed here May 2021 in a motorhome. Front row site had view of the lake, water, and 50-amp electrical. Note the other rows in this section only had 30-amp. Site was extremely long and level. It had a campfire ring, charcoal grill and a very nice shelter with a picnic table.

Sites were nicely spaced out and access in and out was easy. There are 3 dumpstations.

Our Verizon hotspot worked very well, with consistent speeds above 10 mbps.

This SP was approximately 30 miles off of I40, outside a small town of Logan. The lake looks to be going through a drought period (although there were folks there with their boats). Not many campers for the one night we were here.
The Yucca Electric Campground loop had long pull-through sites and somewhat spaced from each other.
Each site has a covered picnic table, electric and water.
Campground seemed well maintained and clean but the facilities were locked (NM still locked down due to pandemic).
Not much for shade or trees although some sites in the other rows did have trees.

We used our Access Pass for $14 rate. Current COVID rules means you need to have a reservation in advance so we had to add $4 online booking fee.

We would stay here again.
