I didn't see this state park through the same set of glasses other had on when they were there! For a state park, this is not at all scenic. The Rio Grande can't be seen, and it is nothing more than a damp stream bed, at least at this time of year. Yes, there are trails through a not very interesting desert. Views from the campground include a number of run down homes and structures. Sites are quite close together with little privacy but do have concrete pads and a shelter/ramada. If there is any wind it is very dusty (as at most desert campgrounds). Fairly good antenna TV reception from El Paso. We won't be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great campground with friendly and helpful state personnel and volunteers running it. The camp host was very personable and knowledgeable. One of the best we've ever met. Lots of nice walking trails, great children play area and camp facilities. We'll stay there again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice park, great staff, but fill your fresh water tank before you get there. Water is so bad it stained the side of my motorhome with iron. The water is seriously bad. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Delightful desert state park with friendly staff. Make sure you have the reservations done online or by phone, and call ahead if you do not have reservation. There is a complex NM state park system of being able to say only l night without reservation, then all further nights MUST be reserved online/phone plus $10.60 reservation fee per site. This is VERY close to Las Cruces - just zip south on I-25, also to Hatch. Eat at the Pepper Pot and Sparky's! Close to White Sands NP and also be sure to visit Aguirre Springs Canyon State Park nearby. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is another great little New Mexico State Park. This is our third one this month. We stayed in the Cactus Patch loop with water and electric. The concrete pad was perfectly level. Good electricity with very clean showers. There are several well maintained trails. There are hosts for each of the loops. It is convenient to Los Cruces and Hatch. We will return when in the area.

We were here last year and had a great stay. This year when we came through the campsites with hookups were full. We were able to stay in the dry camp area down past the park office. The area can handle at least 6-8 rigs. There is water and trash and you can use the shower/bathroom facilities. The area is dirt, but it's just a place to park overnight unless you want to stay longer. Not sure what the normal charge would be, we have an annual camping pass so it was free. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an excellent park. It is extremely well maintained and very clean. The roads are gravel and the pads are concrete. Each site has a picnic table in a covered patio area. Sites 20 & 21 are very big rig friendly, but all the sites are pull throughs. The park is right off I-25. It is a very quite location and well suited for walks. We stayed nine days and enjoyed every minute. The volunteer staff is very friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This State Park is located about 20 miles north of Las Cruces approximately 1 mile off of hwy 25. There are 2 campground loops, Grease wood & Cactus Patch. Grease wood sites, 1-14 have 8 non-reserve able elec/water sites, 1 being handicapped accessible,($14.00) the rest are $10.00 All of the sites have a very nice shelter with a cement floor and large picnic table. The RV pads are also cement and there is a fire ring. Some of the sites are more private then the others but there is plenty of room for slides, awning and to park your car. This campground has vault toilets which were very clean. There are train tracks that are nearby and you can hear it although it was not a problem sleeping at night. The campground is very quiet and has lovely views of the surrounding area. Cactus Patch Loop Campground sites 15-24 are all water and electric with 6 sites being reserve able.. This area is more child friendly, having a nice playground area. There are modern clean bathrooms with 3 private shower stalls, 1 being handicap accessible on the women’s side I would assume the men’s side too. There is a vending machine dispensing soda pop and across the street is the Park office. The train tracks are very close to this loop, so beware. Below Cactus Patch Loop is a trail that takes you down to the waters edge. There are day use facilities ($5.00) and also a picnic day use area near the Park Office. Both campgrounds RV sites appeared to be level. The roads are all dirt and gravel. Good cell/aircard reception, (Verizon) , the water pressure was just ok, and there were no problems with the electric, 30 amp. Dump station is located in the park. We would have no problem staying here again . We camped here in a Motorhome.
