Favorite New Mexico State Park?

10. No, not yet.

We'll probably hit all the state parks eventually. When we first decided to do this (live and travel in a motorhome for a few years) we were worried about how to afford it. Then we found out New Mexico had this great state park system. Four dollars a night for electric sites with the $225 yearly pass. We love New Mexico anyway so we figured we stay here a few months each year and save for more extensive travel in the other months.

I imagine over the next few years we'll stay in all the parks at least once, although I already know that some of them aren't real easy to get to in a motorhome. We're new to driving a big rig now so I'm particularly nervous about getting into a hairy situation. I hope to become less nervous eventually but, for now, I like to check and double check all our routes.

Thanks for the feedback on Villanueva. So far, we've camped in Bottomless Lakes and Sumner Lake and visited Santa Rosa. On a previous trip, when we were still in the planning stages, we drove through Sugarite, Storrie and Red Rocks. New Mexico has some great state parks. We can't wait to get back this fall and hit the one in the southwest corner like Elephant Butte and Rockhound.
