Conchas Lake State Park Campground New Mexico
Conchas Lake State Park Overview
Conchas Lake State Park has one of the largest lakes in all of New Mexico and 105 pretty sweet developed campsites along the shoreline. Forty one (41) of the campsites have electric hookups. Each campsite also has a table, fire ring and grate. If you’re into primitive camping, you can also choose from over 500 scattered around the lake (drive to or boat to).
The campground actually consists of two camping areas. Both have potable water, vault toilets, hot showers (coin operated) and an amazing sanitation dump station. There is also a playground for the kids and a full-service marina on the lake for the adults.
