this time we stayed at the RV park by the Q-Store. Since we did not unhook the Truck from the Fifth wheel I had to walk to the Casino about 1 Mile in pouring rain . They have no longer a shuttle between the RV Park and the Casino, some rule about having to drive through 3 States. Next time we will park in the main lot again. Easy walk to the Casino and if needed there is a shuttle service.
This station has a great dog park! Plenty of room to really run and burn off some steam.
Maps for the Campground, as well as Trail maps, and others are posted as photos, see Photo Gallery.
Best Dog Park we visited between New Mexico and Michigan. We stop here every Fall and Spring. 3 areas, small, medium and large dogs. The large dog area is very big. Our 2 Parson Russell Terrier really enjoy a break from our trip and so do we on the benches. 😂🐾🐶

Only one Photo (#3) the one with the trees is from Percha Dam State Park, all others with the Lake and Mountain view are from Caballo Lake State Park. I am a Campground Host at Caballo Lake State, which manages Percha Dam and if you call you will talk to someone at Caballo Lake State Park either the Office or the Booth.
Percha Dam is south of Exit 59 from I-25 along the Rio Grande , while Caballo Lake State Park is north of Exit I-25 and includes 4 campgrounds, Riverside is south of the Dam along the Rio Grande while Stallion, Appaloosa and Palomino are along Caballo Lake.
We spent another night here for free, with water and electricity (see my May review).We stayed again in the main lot, however next time we will stay at the Casino RV park by the Q-Store. Instead of turning left towards the parking lot, turn right towards the downstream Q-Store this Casino RV Park is free as well. You need to get a player or Q card and register your site in the downstream Q store. If you park there, no big noisy Trucks, however, it's a bit of a hike to the casino although you can call the casino to get the shuttle to pick you up at your rig, they do that in either lot, just remember the shuttle service stops after 11PM.
We stayed here last night for free.
Park your RV, remember the spot, go inside, if you don't have a players card get one, go to the giftshop to register. It's a parking lot but free electric and water and a dump station I'm not complaining. At night the parking lot is very well lit. We felt very safe.
This time I did not loose my money, they had a promo, accumulate 75 points which was easily done, and I got a free hammock.
There is a grassy area with a small pond a lot of the brush has been cut giving access to the water, it's a good place to walk your pup.
This time the Bison were roaming about, they came right up to the fence, I got some great video and a couple of photos.
We will be back this fall on our way to New Mexico.
Beautiful little park with a golf course, tennis courts, swimming pool, mini golf, 2 playgrounds, a small pond and campground.
$12.00 per night for camping, no one was here to collect so I filled out the envelope and paid by check and put it in the drop box. $12.00 gets you water and electricity 30 and 50 amp. It features 80 RV sites, we are in site 76 which is a pull through gravel site. We are only here one night, no need to unhook plenty of room for our 30 foot fifth wheel and the truck. The dump is on the west side of the park on the main road. One thing to keep in mind, there are lots of Goat Head Stickers, (see photo) they are nasty and hurt when they get through the sole of your shoes, keep that in mind if you bring your dog.

I have seen a lot of towns in New Mexico and I have to say so far this small town with about 1200 inhabitants is my favorite. it's clean and pretty with a small lake with a few RV spots it also has a great food spot Luz's Place on 100 S Lincoln in Dexter.
