Lake Farmington Campground

Set against the serene backdrop of a man-made lake, Lake Farmington Campground offers a peaceful camping experience with basic amenities, ideal for those seeking simplicity and natural beauty. This 21-site dry campground, located just minutes from downtown Farmington, New Mexico, features essentials like fire rings, grills, picnic tables, and seasonally available vault toilets, making it a functional yet rustic getaway. Five of the sites are spacious enough to accommodate larger RVs, though the absence of hookups and potable water fosters a true off-the-grid atmosphere.

Just a 7-minute drive from town, Lake Farmington is perfect for a quick outdoor escape or a quiet stopover. The lake itself invites visitors to enjoy non-motorized boating, paddleboarding, and fishing year-round, with rentals available for kayaks and paddleboards during the warmer season. Nearby trails cater to hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding enthusiasts, while birdwatchers can marvel at eagles, herons, and hawks frequenting the area. Whether you’re seeking tranquility by the water or an active weekend in nature, this campground strikes a harmonious balance between accessibility and retreat.
