Clayton Lake State Park and Dinosaur Trackways

"Nice quiet park. The town of Clayton must be the most heavily patrolled town I have ever seen, not sure why. The campground is beautiful. It's off-putting, a little oasis on the corner of the desert. The Rangers of the park were quiet and respectful, and everything was well maintained and clean. A great respite after a tiresome journey."

"Hidden gem outside of Clayton NM. Prices for daily parking is about 5.00 to visit the Dino tracks. It’s a 1/2 mile walk to the site and back. On a hill, but easy to walk. Lake is clean and beautiful"

"Absolutely cannot beat the price for this park! Spot was pretty level. Long enough for truck and travel trailer but not much else. Our spot (E2) was a very tight turn. Dinosaur tracks are very cool. Bath facilities were decent. Incredibly dark skies for stargazing if you're interested in that. Saw some pronghorn antelope on the drive out."

"We decided to stop here on our way up to CO to see the dinosaur tracks and they were actually really awesome. Luckily we went after it had been raining a lot so they were the most visible but we did hear that when it's been really dry, sometimes the dirt slightly covers them so you can't seem them as clearly. Either way, the park has a nice set up with a wooden pathway to walk through and information along the way. Definitely worth it if you're in the area or wanting to go camp and spend some time. The park itself is also gorgeous so I wish we could've been there an entire day but the couple of hours we did make it was completely worth it!"

"I really enjoyed this campsite by the lake! Beautiful lakeviews right beside the RV park as well as a quarter mile hiking trail over to the dinosaur tracks area. Dog friendly as long as they're on a leash. Nice and quiet off the beaten path away from town. Hookups included. Power and water. No dump site available. They did have restrooms on site. If I'm ever in this area again I will come back to this campground.. Enjoy!"
