We arrived with only one other camper parked. Picked a spot (35ft 5th wheel) set up and enjoyed the view, stillness and beauty! Before nightfall 3 others were parked. We even got to see fireworks in the distance, plus a beautiful lightning show thru the night! Would definitely stay again!

Concur with all the other reviews. Needed a place to stay for the night and I was about to stay at a truck stop down the freeway and I'm so glad I drove the few extra miles to come here. The road in is dirt/gravel and washboard-y in places but not bad at all. The designated camping area is just a big plot of grass and you park wherever there's free space. In my case there were only 2 other campers so there was plenty of room. It's super quiet, the loudest noise I heard was the birds chirping. The mosquitos were a little annoying but if that's the worst I can say about this place then I would definitely stay here again.

Stopped on our way through then realized we had a broken axle hanger connecting our leaf spring. We actually found a mobile welder who came out and fixed it for us. Shawn from Piñon Towing came out same day!
Use Google Maps and satellite view to get here. I forgot and used RV Life directions.
Good T-Mobile connection. Nice view of the lake. Pit toilets a little walk up the hill.
Mosquitoes were absolutely horrible, first week of May and cold overnight.

An amazing place to stay close to I25. I stopped in with my rig and was very surprised at not only how clean it is, but how well set up it is for multiple rigs.
Ground is level for all sites. There are about 6 or so places, maybe a few more, that one can set up camp. Trash in bear vaults and two vault toilets.
Lake is full of various bird species, great for photography.
I would certainly come back here again.

Stay limit is 5 nights, great stay although lots of bugs for a couple days. Quiet and peaceful, easy in and out for any size rig. Garbage cans surround the lake. Vault toilets were clean., picnic tables at a few sites was a plus. Sunsets and amazing stars at night no extra charge!
Cheers!

Easily accessible. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful skies. 5 campers including me. Open lot for parking, but everyone had enough room. The 2 toilets at the entrance were clean and were well ventilated. Quiet except for the bozo who fired up a generator in the morning.

Awesome awesome awesome Beautiful views, quiet, peaceful! Lots of beautiful birds! Small lake water is really low. Room for four RVs three large sites in the open and one small site with shade. Three sites have trash cans and a picnic table. Good roads going in not far from Interstate. Small town nothing much but a small gas station grocery store. Nice people had a good variety in store. But close to Raton had a little more to offer. Trinidad CO if you need to do laundry. Nothing to do but drive into the mountains. Five day stay for free. No hookups. We will definitely be back.

This camping spot is so perfect. In the middle of a wildlife refuge and it’s so serene and quiet and the temperature seems to be completely perfect both times I was there. Easy to get to.
