Bluewater Lake SP, NM

Sounds like mixed reviews, sort of like I found on RVparkreview. Then I read the bathrooms are locked at 9 pm and opened again at 7 am! Doesn't work for my bladder!

The RV park in Gallup and the Casino don't work for us, as we are in a PUP and parking so close to others is conducive to a quiet night of sleep.

I think we'll investigate the NPS CG's.

Thanks to those who responded.

We spent several days at Bluewater SP a few years ago and enjoyed it. We were there in November and the park was pretty much empty. There was one ranger assigned who was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the hike down into the canyon. Here are some pix and comments.

Enjoy your visit!

The only NM SP we don't like, there is a USFS CG just up the road.

Nearly 10 years after our experience at this park we are still shaking our heads in amazement. We went in June on our way to CA and I was told that it was so popular that we would have to have reservations. I made them, at least six weeks in advance. The afternoon that we arrived there was nobody there. All but three campsites were empty and no staff anywhere. Our designated site had a broken electrical pole so we chose another one. There had been a fish kill on the very low lake and the place smelled to high heaven. We spent the night and moved on the next day. I'm sure this was a rare situation (at least I hope it was) but we haven't been willing to try it again. Good luck. lizzie

No insights on Bluewater however have stayed at Dancing Eagle Casino RV parking lot clean very basic but $10 a night and also USA RV park in Gallup very nice.
