Very peaceful wonderful place to spend some time
We were told about this campground by my sister-in-law and my husband (her brother) was a little concerned when we could not even find this campground on any map or RV campground application (such as this one 'RVparking.com) but we went anyway.
When we got into the (very small) town of Quemado, NM, we had to asked for directions to the campground. It is about 15 miles off hwy 32 on hwy 103 down to the lake and campgrounds.
We disconnected our car at the lake so we could drive up to the campground to check it out before driving the motor home up because the pavement ended at the boat ramp at the lake. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that the campground would accommodate our 39 ft. motor home. Since we arrived on Sept. 5, 2011 the campground was pretty empty because most of the people that were there for the three day weekend were all gone. We lucked out and got space 13 which is the BEST site in the loop with electric and water hookups.
The campground is surrounded with big pine trees, bushes and wild flowers. There are picnic tables and fire pits in each site. There are other sites (with E & W) which overlook the beautiful lake below. There is another loop in the Juniper campground which does not have any hookups but it was just as nice.
The camp hosts are very nice and friendly and keep the restrooms very clean as well as the campgrounds.
If you want to use your cell phone, good luck. I have Verizon and I did receive one phone call and was able to make one phone call as well as get a few data updates but it was very few and unpredictable. We had to drive into the small town of Quemado to get a little better cell phone service.
The campground was very quiet and very dark at night which is how we like it.
We did experience a few thunderstorms during the whole week we were there but it never really lasted very long and we had beautiful days for the most part.
Since this is a more rustic type of campground, you will need to pay with a check or cash. There are envelopes provided for you to put your payment into the metal tube next to the bulletin board. The hosts do not deal with taking any payments.
On the down side of this campground, if you go on a busy weekend you may experience very cramp campsites because there are sites where it is allocated for three RVs. So if you have an RV with slides and the person next to you has slides, you may not be able to get them all the way out or get them out at all. We were pretty lucky because we were in site 13 and we had an RV in site 15 so there was no one in site 14 which meant we had some breathing room between us. I think if there was 3 RVs in there you could probably see and hear your neighbors (not good).
There are a few other campground when you continue up the road on hwy 103 but they do not have any hookups. There is however a dump station in one of those campgrounds that you can use for a small fee of $5.00.
All in all, if we ever get the chance to go back there, I know we will because we love this kind of campground and I would recommend this to anyone who loves to RV but have some peace and quiet. If you are looking for a campground with shopping and dining, this is not the place for you.
