Something not right?

Description

A surprisingly nice and inexpensive campground just a couple of miles north of a border crossing. There is an on-site museum dedicated to Pancho Villa's cross-border raid on Columbus in 1916 and General Pershing's unsuccessful attempt to capture him,

This is my favorite state park in New Mexico… 2 miles away from the Palomas Mexico border. Currently the dump station/showers are not working but don’t let that stop you from visiting this beautiful state park.

Pleasant state park with a great history. Be warned that Sani-dump, showers and restrooms are non-operational due to septic issues. Have been closed since December with no estimated time for being operational.

very nice facilities. several sites with water and electric for 14$. dump station not working. lots of nosey boomers wandering about

State park campsite, with fairly large sites, all on gravel, with shaded picnic tables and firepits. At the time of this writing, the dump station was unavailable. Price is 15$ per night. A few of the sites are first come, first served, the rest need to be reserved.

I don't recommend spots 1 to 3 as they are right on the road.

Well cared for State Park. Across from site 52 are new bathrooms with hot showers. Very interesting free museum, if you have paid for camping. $14/night, check out at 2pm.

Inexpensive and quiet at night, but the showers are terrible. We paid $10 plus a $4 fee to book a reservable site online because we couldn’t find the non-reservable ones and couldn’t figure out the pricing.

Report Check-In

Pricing is confusing. Boondocking is free if you don't park in an established site and you don't use the bathrooms. $8 per car lets you use the facilities and park in a non-hookup site. Showers were cold in the afternoon but hot in the morning. Borderlands Cafe across the street was a welcome respite from intense wind and cold weather. Good food and friendly.

Pretty nice for a base price of only $10. I didn’t make a reservation, and on a Monday evening there were plenty of spots open. I paid and camped but the ranger did tell me I wasn’t really supposed to do that. But it worked out as the spot had not been reserved by anyone else. Would stay here again for sure tho.

New Mexico State Park. Has about 15 non-reservation campsites and some boondocking sites. A $5 day pass will allow you to use showers, dump your tanks and fill up with potable water. Beautiful, peaceful park within 2 miles of a Border crossing into Mexico.

We stumbled upon this great campground, Pancho Villa State Park in New Mexico. All sites are well maintained and appear to be raked and groomed daily. The bathrooms and showers are spectacularly clean and nice. Campers are spread out nicely. Each spot has a cabana, picnic table and BBQ. This is definitely on the top of our "must return" desert campgrounds. So much history here, Pancho Villa's Raid into Columbus, New Mexico. Great museum too.

Well maintained state park. $4.00 per night includes hookups and dump site. $4.00 per night with annual estate park pass. Quiet too.

$14 sites with power and water. Each has its own covered table. Easy border access.

Neat and clean campground ($10 Dry Camping, $14 Hookup) with showers, toilets, shaded picnic tables. Perfect place before or after bordercrossing to/from Mexico. Road noise is no problem.

wonderful camp site, hot water and covered picnic tables. $10 camping or $14 with hookups

Report Check-In

Good place to spend the night if you're planning to cross the border the next morning. The campsites were fine, but the other aspects of the place added a lot. There are historical sites scattered about, and a little hiking trail up a hill. The museum was really interesting, too.

Report Check-In

close to the road which is busy all night.
the tent spaces are filled with wood chips so you will need sand pegs.
hot showers are free.
$10.00 per vehicle.

Paid $10 for an overnight with hook ups available. Nice bathrooms and hot showers. Really a great stop.
