My family and I had planned to only stay here over night on our way to CA. Our truck broke down as we were pulling off the interstate (1/2 mile from camp). In the end we stayed here for 7 days while the truck was being repaired. Overall our experience was near perfect here. The owners are extremely friendly and even loaned me a ladder so I could review my roof while I had nothing better to do with my time. The town, Santa Rosa, is very small but friendly. The campgrounds, while simple, were exceptionally clean. The bathhouse and restroom were as clean as we have ever seen at a campground. The sites were spotless (although a little dusty as the roads and sites are all gravel). This isn't a destination campground - more like an overnight stop along I-40 and Route 66 - but for us it became a much longer stay. All in all, we were very happy with the campgrounds and would definitely stop in again (hopefully for not quite as long next time). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

There was medium road noise. Staff was friendly and helpful. Sites are pretty close together. They say they have wi-fi but it is such a bad connection you really can't use it. Ok for just an overnight stop. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We would not stay here again. When we asked about the pool being open, we were asked if we wanted to pay the heating bill. The owners were very rude and disrespectful. He was especially nasty. The Wi-Fi did not work even in the building and the water pressure was very, very low. The bathrooms were almost unacceptable and the cable was very poor quality. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

A typical clean New Mexico state park. Separate areas for primitive, dry, and powered camping. Most of the powered camping slots have no water, though some do. Most of the sites (including all of the ones with water) are reservable; if they are not reserved on a given day, the ranger puts a green tag at the site that means you can use it, but for one day only. I thought the entire system was biased against the tourist (as opposed to the local who is savvy to the system), especially since my Good Sam guide said the park didn't take reservations at all so I hadn't made any. I was set up before I realized I should have filled up my onboard water tank on entry. Well, live and learn. The rest rooms and showers were very clean and comfortable. The park grounds were beautiful, and my dogs enjoyed swimming off the lake's boat ramp. Some mosquitos at dusk. I would stay there again, now that I understand the system. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Gosh. I am a little surprised by the really negative reviews of this park. Maybe it is because we have just driven across the country and seen the really deplorable state of some parks; but we found the Santa Rosa park to be pretty good. We had a pretty site high on the hill above the lake (which, yes, was low.....but we thought the exposed red soil added a nice contrast to the blue waters). The restrooms were cleaned while we were there and the showers were fine. We biked the paved roads and walked the trails. Electric worked fine and we filled our tank with water upon arrival. It was a nice quiet, low key, place. And we'd stay there again. The grounds were not mowed to perfection, but, if we had wanted that, we'd have stayed at home in the suburbs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
