Clayton Lake State Park Campground

Dark skies park

Gorgeous park with lots of space for camping. Only stayed the night, so no time for Dino footprints or hiking but the stay was great.

Highly recommend this as a camping trip. It is beautiful and serene. A great way to unplug as there is no Wi-Fi and minimal cell service. We will definitely be returning.

We just popped in to look at the Dino tracks. It was worth the stop. It is very peaceful and quiet and the drive off of the main highway is very scenic. It was a short hike to the tracks. Would be a nice peaceful camping spot.

I wish we had known about the dinosaur tracks when we camped here in May 2018! We only stayed for one night, but the lake was absolutely gorgeous and our campsite had an amazing view. We will definitely be going back.

Went here last year and loved it! Went back today but due to COVID, the park is only open to NM residents. Total bummer 😔

Really nice lake! Dinosaur tracks were pretty cool. There’s also a nice (and easy) hiking trail in the NE side of the park. Beautiful stars!! Day use $5, Camping $10. Bring cash!

The dinosaur tracks are really cool. The state did a great job of building a cool walkway to view them. Very nice walk to get down to see them. This is a great stop off the beaten path.

The ranger was friendly, the bathrooms were clean. And the hike was easy to the dinosaur tracks. We enjoyed looking and learning, and the drive in was enjoyable.
