Rocky Point Campground

Nice campground, 8 miles from I40. Easy access for big rigs. We showed up without a reservation, and it was busier than I expected for a Tuesday. Not all sites accommodate long rigs, but we found that some that were listed on the web site for 30 foot rigs were plenty long for our 43’ rig. Quiet, well kept, and pretty.

All of loop A and B are reservable but only A has E/W and not all have water site 23 didn’t. The only FCFS is in Juniper .

Nice campground only 8 miles out of town. Quiet and clean with hookups in loop A. Nice price at $14. Nice views of the lake and easy little hiking trail.

Stayed just one night and n our way to Angel Fire, NM. Loop A in Rocky Point Campground is the only loop with power and water and you needed both with temps in the upper 90°. Peaceful, clean, bathrooms were decent, and we had a great sunset. Hiked down to the lake at dusk but the stroll was cut short when I almost stepped on a rattlesn... more

We stayed here one night May 2023 and found it to be very pleasant! It is clean & quiet, located well away from town & extremely dark at night. We did not realize that not EVERY site has water hook-up right there exactly at that site, but no problem! There is a place right across from the nice, clean bath house where you can fill you... more

Stayed at Santa Rosa Lake two days in early May 2023, a pleasant experience while still close to the interstate. All hookups worked fine, the pull through paved site was pretty level. Showers were par for a state park, and clean. Interesting hiking trails along the shoreline, and already getting hot and very windy. Better internet with... more

We had a great night. It was quiet and beautiful. We stayed in site B4 in a 44 foot 5th wheel It’s a pull through but we had to back in because there a tree that’s pretty close and we didn’t want to chance trying to go around it. It was still really easy to do. We had a nice view of the lake from this spot too.

Wildlife has been pretty cool; mule deer, grey wolf or possibly a very large healthy coyote, jack rabbits, birds geese, ducks. Thorns everywhere; Goathead thorns are a problem mostly at the campground. Our dog constantly got them in his paws walk around CG but on trails we didn’t get many. Had to watch him. Wish we had some booties.

We enjoyed a couple of nights at this park. The bathrooms and showers were well maintained and clean. Our children really enjoyed the park. We had the chance to check out the trails off our look which was a fun little adventure. The boat launch is an easy bike ride from the campground.

Visited 1st week of April 2023. Well maintained, easy drive from I-40. Hope they get some water. Great staff at Corp of Engineers and State Park. Helpful and friendly.
