Customer Reviews
The North Area Campground at Conchas State Park was beautiful in February. The weather was warmer than normal (65-75 degrees during the day), but what I loved most about this park this time of the year was the silence. You could hear a pin drop. If anyone was planning on unaliving me, THIS would've been the place to do it. So peaceful. All kinds of wildlife to marvel at. Birds. Fish. Even saw a prairie dog right outside our camper. Bathrooms were clean. (The water cycles through cold & warm so keep that in mind.) A lot of places to walk & relax. Normally I get a little sillier with my reviews, but honestly loved the peace & solitude of this campground & plan to be back. (Keep in mind, its VERY busy in the summer months.)
This is the worst place I've ever camped. RVs blasting music at night and blaring lights all night. Also ridiculous amounts of wind. Wouldn't be so bad, but the ground is so compacted that you can't drive stakes in. Add to that tons of stickers and pretty constant traffic. If this is characteristic of camping in New Mexico, this state is awful. Might as well sleep in a Wal-Mart parking lot.
Fantastic. Well maintained
