Nice campground with all of the trees. Unfortunately when we arrived it was the day after the Easter weekend. Our site was a pig sty! Bones and dog poop everywhere. We stayed for 2 weeks, and I only saw the camp host once. The weekends are very busy, and all of the elec/water sites were full by friday night. The day before we left the new camp host (the other host was heading home) came over and handed us a trash bag, and we were told it was our turn to clean up!! Sorry bubba, but we already cleaned up the dog poop and all of the bones before we put our mats out on the disgusting littered ground. Why do they bother to have a host when they don't really do diddley squat?? We've been to at least 2/3 of New Mexico's State Parks and this one was the dirtiest!! Would we go back? Yes, just a shame that such a nice park is being neglected. Cell, aircard and sat. came in fine (Verizon). No problems with the electric and water. Plenty of room for our car and MH. Lots of room for our slides, and plenty of room to spread out. We have an annual camping pass otherwise an elec/water site is $14.00 or $18.00 with sewer. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I agree with the previous reviewer about the unkempt condition of the Riverside campground. We never saw the camp hosts at all during our 3 days. We enjoyed the size of sites and all the trees. Upon leaving we dumped at the upper campground, our hosts were working up there in the office. I mentioned to the ranger about the condition of the sites and restrooms. He expressed his appreciation for telling him. We love NM state parks and will mostly likely come here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped in the Riverside Campground which was on the other side of the dam and was on the Rio Grande River with some nice trees and vegetation. (There are 3 or 4 other campgrounds in this state park but they are more open and have little vegetation.) Riverside Campground is conveniently located off the interstate yet far enough away so that you don't hear the traffic noise. We had a spacious full-hook up pull-through site. I gave the campground a lower score as I was disappointed at the condition of this campground. Our site had a lot of trash (which I picked up), a couple of piles of the contents of left-over cooking fires just thrown on the ground, and newly sprouted weeds which were knee-high throughout the area. It gave the campground an unkempt, shaggy appearance. I know that with the campsites cleaned after each use and trimming the weeds, the campground would look a 100% better. I really don't know what role the campground hosts played as I did not see them greet campers or do any campsite maintenance. Customarily at other NM state parks, they are the ones that make sure each site is neat and tidy after campers have left. I am sure the weed removal is done by a crew of groundskeepers. I hope that a better job of cleaning the grounds is done as it is a nice campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Owners were very nice and helpful. My only complaint is the bathrooms; they were dirty the whole time and there was always a line just to get in to the bathrooms. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

I really enjoyed this site. My husband went to use the bathroom and there was a bug wasp nest in there. He tried to get out quickly, but cut his head on a piece of metal sticking out in the process. He did not need stitches. I did love the river and the park for the kids. We camped here in a Tent.

This is a very nice state park. Loved the trees and the water noise coming over the spillway. All of the sites are pull thrus which are along side of the main dirt road inside the park. This park now has 15 sites that are available thru reservations ($10.00 fee). If you plan on spending at least a month in the state parks you should look into buying their annual camping pass http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/PRD/FeesPermits.htm it’s well worth the money. There’s a very nice playground away from the main section of the park. It’s located in the tent/non-electric area that runs along the river. Cell phone reception (Verizon) was lousy even with our booster but for some reason my air card was fine (using our booster). There is a laundromat at the RV park that is next door to the state park turn off and a small little grocery store south of the park in Arrey. Very quiet here at night, no trains or loud traffic noise. The water pressure was good and we had no problems with the electric. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Percha Dam State Park is the birder's paradise. The variety of birds is amazing. There is a visitor center that has a lot of info on birding. The state park is very convenient just off I-25 yet far enough away that you do not get the freeway noise. The campground was very pretty and had some big cottonwoods along with a lot of smaller trees waiting to become big trees. The sites are pull-throughs and have picnic tables under a shelter. They mostly are a fair distance apart from each other. Some of the pull-throughs are a little short for a big rig. We had a 35 foot fifth wheel and found ourselves going over into the next site. This was not a problem because the campground only had a few other sites that were occupied. This ia nice place to stay for an overnight stop or an extended stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
