What are some camping options near Ute Lake State Park?

About 20 miles northeast of Tucumcari, Ute Lake State Park offers several campgrounds along different parts of its shoreline. The Yucca and Zia campgrounds by the eastern part of the lake are designed for RVs and come equipped with hookups for water and electricity. The Roadrunner and Cottonwood campgrounds in the same area are more primitive. Near Logan Park and Rogers Park camping areas in the north, find Ute Lake Nature Trail, which takes hikers through desert canyons and past arroyos. Fishing for largemouth bass, crappie, and walleye is also popular at Ute Lake, as is horseback riding through Mine Canyon and Rogers Camp areas.
