Bottomless Lakes State Park
Roswell, NM
We left Carlsbad around noon and drove a short 57 miles to Roswell, NM. Other than wanting to see some extraterrestrials we are really just stopping here to help shorten the distance to our next stop in Santa Rosa, NM. We are crossing some pretty remote area without a lot to see. We are on the east side of the mountains from Albuquerque and we are working our way toward Colorado.
Bottomless Lakes State Park is 8 miles east of Roswell and the campground is 7 miles back in off the main highway, so effectively we are 15 miles from Roswell. There were a few other RV parks in Roswell that were closer to town but they looked small, cramped, and not very inviting.
Our rig is the second one in from the left...you can just make out the truck.
These are picnic/beach cabanas.
Building to access beach...not sure what all is in the building but it is a beautiful stone structure.
Observation tower....
This picture doesn't do it justice but the rock formations are striking....
Beach area shot from the picnic area...
Volleyball....
Even a nice playground....
This State Park even has free Wi-Fi which we haven't ever seen before in a State Park.
As I said the sites are very spacious. We did a preliminary view on Google Earth before coming here and were concerned we might not have enough space for both vehicles but it turns out there is a lot of room, and even a great cabana.
You can barely see the lake from our site.
This is a great park and we were close to deciding against it. This just proves you never know about a place until you get there.
Tomorrow we are taking care of a little business and then we're heading over to the Roswell UFO Museum. It sounded like fun so we thought we'd give it a try.....
