Dam Site Lodging & Marina

Elephant butte lake is BEAUTIFUL!!! At the moment on the State side of the lake, it's open from 6 am to 8 pm and you have to leave. BUT, on the side by the dam, it's Federally owned. You can stay all night. They have casitas, a large lodge, RV parking with all hook ups and of course camping on the beaches. There has been more people this year than there has been in many years. The lake has been REDISCOVER!!!!

Bare bones but amazing views from RV spots 1-3 overlooking Elephant Butte. Loaded with interesting history. A truly unique experience mid week. Operators said the weekends are very crowded.

I love this place and the lake but tired of seeing it so low

Quiet, Peaceful and beautiful today.nThere were only a handful of people and the water was beautiful. The wind picked up in the afternoon but otherwise it was a perfect day at the Dam.

This place is COMPLETELY OPEN, compared to the rest of NM state parks that have limited hours/open only to NM residents. Didn't stay at the lodging, but they look quaint from the outside. Boat ramp, lake et al. OPEN
