Bluewater Campground: A Scenic and Clean Retreat in Prewitt, NM
According to campers on TheDyrt.com, there is no coverage for AT&T, no coverage for T-Mobile, and some coverage for Verizon. At first we thought we were the only ones here. The bathrooms were closed and locked.
Last night something was bugging the dogs so I looked outside to see a herd of wild horses grazing next to our camper! There are lots of good hiking trails. The water is still on here and the dump stations are open if needed. Bluewater Lake State Park campground has 149 campsites and is located next to Bluewater Lake on the north flank of the Zuni Mountains in the Las Tusas Basin. The Bluewater and Pinon Cliffs loops are closer to the water and Canyonside loop is just a short walk to the lakeshore.

So strong they collapsed my tent on top of me. It might have been where I was (pad 44), They were still strong in the morning, but I noticed they were less/non existant at the campsites near the main entrance. People next to us did not but set up camp anyways.
Bluewater Lake State Park Overview
The rates are dirt cheap, but the park is worth many times more. I came in without a reservation and found a huge pull-through campsite on the hill, with a clear view of the lake (it is indeed blue). There was a deep and broad terrace for picnic table and tent, and some pines for shade. It was a little windy when I visited, but not uncomfortably so. It was dark and quiet at night, and I slept well. Bluewater Lake is located within Bluewater Lake State Park in the Zuni Mountains of New Mexico, approximately 30 miles west of Grants.
Camping Facilities
The hook up sites over looked the water (paved pad, pavilion, fire ring, 30&50 amp electric) bathrooms, showers, dump station.Boat ramp. Nice Pike and Muskie for the anglers. I recommend following the trail at the north end of the campground for a nice view of the dam (it was a 10 to 15 minute hike for me, narrow but level). The lake is also open for boating and fishing, with a launch ramp near the campground. Found this campsite heading west on I-40 on a memorial day weekend road trip last minute. Had 40 designated campsites with about 1/2 reservable online and 1/2 first come first serve.
Nice for a November site
The park can be accessed via State Highway 612, and it offers a serene getaway for visitors looking to enjoy outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, fishing, and boating. I did not have a site reservation, buit there were lots of vacent pads available. Only drawback was the all night incessant winds. They were strong, gusty and loud.
