We stayed for a couple of weeks at Oasis. It is situated so that you really get the feeling of being alone on the wind swept Great Plains. There are huge skies and sand dunes to explore. The interesting Blackwater Archeology Site where the Clovis Culture was discovered is a couple of miles away. The park is in what used to be the Brazos River in ancient times. There is usually a stocked fishing pond but it is under re-construction at this time but no work was done while we were there. Cell phone coverage is good. Towns are close but out of sight. Seldom traveled roads are good for bike riding. The staff is responsive. On site mail delivery. Detractors: flies and occasional stink from the local dairies, restrooms are modern except they SMELL AWFUL, lots of wasps in the fall! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Spent a week here and enjoyed our stay. The pond was being drained to find a leak and repair it before they filled it with catfish and other species. If you plan on fishing call the park first to see if it's been repaired and filled. Very quiet park and was happy to see large trees at the first come sites. Spent about a week here while waiting for a package to arrive that was being delivered in care of the park. Very nice park rangers and staff. Trash cans are at each site so you don't get a big garbage truck in the campground jarring you awake in the morning. Cell phone service was good but air card for computer was iffy (Verizon but we were roaming). There is a Super Wal-Mart in Portales that we found to be well stocked and their Gas Station. It's located on the other side of the 70 going across the road staying on Oasis Rd.,located on the right. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a small park that truly is an "oasis." The park is surrounded by farms and dairies, but is set among constantly shifting sandhills with trees, trails, wildlife and a small fishing lake which is regularly stocked with fish. Each campsite is a pull-through site with water, electricity, table, and grill on concrete slab with a shaded top. The sites are well spaced. The Blackwater Draw Archeological site is nearby and also a museum by the same name. Eastern New Mexico University's Greyhound Stadium is just minutes from the park. It is a well-planned little park! We camped here in a Motorhome.
