Zapata Falls Campground

Beautiful spot for camping, clean bathrooms. Views of the valley and sand dunes were great. Very quiet and campsites have been well cared for.

This is a good location. Make sure you have campsite info. #2 didn’t have a large designated tent space. Get creative below the trees.

Incredible views, quiet campground, and the hike to the waterfall was wonderfull!

Campsite and vault bathrooms were clean. We stayed at campsite #2. It was conveniently located near the bathrooms which was nice having small kids.

Nice campground with amazing views. Somewhat exposed to sun and weather as is typical for this area. Nice hosts, clean restrooms with a night light installed which was very thoughtful! Hosts also provided non-potable water to put out campfires which is helpful since there is no potable water source in the campground.

Nice campground with beautiful views. My complaints are: lack of level ground for RVs on some sites, lack of level ground for picnic tables (balanced with rocks or put on severely sloping sites), stumps not appropriately cut down. Our son sliced his leg open on a stump that was left about 3-4 feet off the ground with other partially cut tree branches not fully removed and he ended up with an ER visit and stitches. Some of this is to be expected with camping, but this campground compared to others we stay at (BLM, forest service, state parks, national parks, etc.) was just not maintained as well. The large dumpsters that are supposed to be bear proof are locked in front and completely open in the back. No potable water onsite, but there was water for putting out campfires. We'd give it a few years before staying here again.

Gorgeous views and spread out campsites. The pit toilets were cleaner and more pleasant than most flush toilets I've experienced.

Spacious sites with amazing views

We decide the morning of our arrival to skip this park. We tried to cancel our reservation online to allow someone to take our place ( not expecting a refund) but we’re not able to.

The bathrooms were very well maintained. I appreciated that especially at a dry camping site. The website noted there was no potable water and to bring adequate drinking water, but it did not indicate there were no spigots for non potable water, where one can get water for use with cleaning. We would have brought more water. There is a difference between no water and no potable water. The tiny amount of water provided for damping fires was so little it couldn’t be used for anything else. The website should make this clear to campers so they can be prepared to haul in all the water needed including non potable water or other as needed for washing and for cleaning.
