Cell phone coverage is good. Road to park is very steep but manageable. There is NO water at the sites. Our reserved site had NO ELECTRICITY because it had been damaged some time ago and no effort has been made to repair it. The reservation service failed to mention either the water or electric issue. Fortunately, the host site is open for first come so we were lucky enough to secure that and enjoy the only full hook ups at the park. Only two showers for the park and one of them squirts water for only 1 second per push. Staff is friendly but “unable” to fix this problem although we’ve seen other park crew do just that. Closest shopping is in Grants, about 20 miles away. The park is at 7500 feet so days are comfortable and nights cool. Summer weekends are busy. Many groups stake out portions of the beach for weekends. Fishing was not good but the lake is nice for boating. The area is very interesting with many things to see including Mt. Taylor, Zuni Mountains, El Malpais and Indian ruins. Be sure to visit the NM Visitor Center in Grants. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice State Park, but we found the sites to be too close together. Little to no privacy. Some of the sites have trees that can provide shade. There are 2 electric loops. One is on their reservation system and the other isn't. I believe there are at least 12 first come sites. Some of the sites aren't level but that wasn't a problem, we were able to level our MH without any problems. Sites are dirt/gravel, the road is paved so that helps keep the dust down. Not a very busy campground as there are still sites in the first come loop available today which is a Sat. The reservation area looks full. I would have given this State Park a 10 if the sites were further apart and there were water hookups. We didn't check out the other campgrounds within the park so don't know what those sites are like. We have cell service here and my Verizon air card is picking up a good signal too. There's a dump station here and dumpsters are provided throughout the park. Quiet park during midweek, hardly a soul here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here on the last night of a 9-day vacation on our way back to AZ. It's quiet and out of the way, lots of space between sites. The bathrooms and showers are not the cleanest, but are what you would expect from a heavily used state park after the July 4th holiday. Nice break from the jam-packed KOA's. I'd stay here again.
