Beautiful place to spend time. The campground is clean and the sites level. The pavement is new and smooth and there are nice picnic tables with attractive awnings brass over them. Last, but not least, the bathrooms in the newer areas are very clean and have hot water.

Nice campground. Well maintained and clean.
Unfortunately, we chose this recreation area because we wanted to do some paddling. Hauled our kayaks and related gear from our home in southwest New Mexico, about a six-hour trip. Arrived to find that the water level in the reservoir was unusually high and access to the beach was blocked off. There was no place to launch our boats. Would have appreciated being informed about this before we reserved our campsites.

The Army Corp of Engineers campgrounds are an excellent venue to enjoy the great outdoors.
Well layed out with ample space between sites, smooth paved roads and helpful, friendly rangers. Great value!!

We are a senior couple travelling in a fifth wheel. The site was level & there is good separation between the sites. The best part was how quiet the park was. We didn’t use the public washrooms or showers. We did hike the one trail on 2 occasions.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
