Dam Site Lodging & Marina

A few pictures of our stay at The Damsite in Truth or Consequences. They will be closed from November 18th till Labor Day in 2025 to do some maintenance on the property and campsites. A definite must stay if you’re coming through later next year. We saw an owl along our walk with beautiful views all around. The wind picking up a lot adding to the adventure at night 😳😆 They have a lot of casitas for rent as well as a group campsite. No Wi-Fi up here and I must say it is a good thing!! Can’t wait to see the upgrades!

We camped here in our camp trailer over Thanksgiving weekend. It was super peaceful. There were hardly any people camping. Felt like we had the place to ourselves. The view is magnificent. We really got lucky with the weather. My only problem is that they charge a $25 pet fee. I wouldn’t have a problem with the pet fee if they supplied doggy poo bags and made people clean up their poo. But we paid $25 and there was poop everywhere. Also, there were goat heads in our RV spot. I know these things can’t be avoided sometimes but if you’re going to charge a $25 pet fee, the least you could do is require people to clean up after their pets or supply poo bags or clean it up yourself. But don’t charge $25 if there’s going to be poo everywhere. I can also see a pet fee if you are staying in the cabins. But we were in an RV and so it doesn’t make sense to charge a $25 pet fee for camping unless you are providing a poo cleaning service. Lol.

Had an amazing weekend in one of these lakeside casitas. Was very pleased with the renovation. The casita is somewhere between camping and staying at a hotel. Loved the 1940's vibe. My dogs had a good time, too. Don't let the "no tv" scare you.

Excellent view, quiet and comfortable. We camped on the beach last year and it just didn't work for us so we decided to try these cabins out. We rented #5, there is a 2 night minimum, we were called ahead of time by the caretakers and they left the keys in the unit and the AC on. No tv , a little kitchenette, two queen beds, shower without a tub and a mini fridge. The place was amazing and the people who ran the establishment were friendly and attentive to our needs and knowledgeable about the area, not to mention the donuts, coffee and peanuts to feed the rock squirrels. We will definitely be back to enjoy the hospitality and the landscape. Unit #5 had the free wifi booster on the building so our phones worked amazing compared to being on the beach. Thank you Will, Gwendolyn, Alex and crew we appreciate the experience and effort.

Dam, this place is s!ck 🤘 I stayed at the Elephant Butte Dam Site for an artist residency in one of their lakeside cabins for the month of February. Not only was it the most serene and gorgeous retreat I’ve ever experienced for the sake of artistic creation, but the staff is incredibly kind and helpful. I was able to set up a table and sell my art on Dam Site Day! I was too chicken to do the polar plunge haha. The cabin was clean, spacious and comfortable. I was able to safely enjoy walks and picnics within a few minutes walk to their various chill spots. You can camp there too! Star views like no other. Definitely contact Will if you are an artist looking for a new and peaceful experience. They have affordable rates and time slots to enjoy this otherworldly landscape.
