Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews
April 21 Beautiful area- horrible stay by Kim_M
park review stars; one to five The location is simply gorgeous We are are driving across the country and found this lovely state park to spend a few nights. Called the number listed , recording said walk in first come first served.perfect. We arrive around 3 p.m. to roped off campgrounds, roped off sections. Finally found a spot to set up camp The bathroom facilitates were still closed for the season but porta-potties were available . The condition they were in was disgusting. Didnt look like they had been emptied in MONTHS. As a matter of fact, looking at a review from 4 month earlier with the same complaint, Id say they hadnt been emptied in 6 or more months. Our stay here was shortened to an overnight only.
March 3 One of our favorite parks by thejudge
park review stars; one to five Toby Campground in Cimarron Canyon is our favorite state park in New Mexico. It is always very clean. They always have very good camp hosts also the park Ranger is one of the best. We try to go about three times each summer.
