Brantley Lake State Park
Carlsbad, New Mexico
Address: 33 E. Brantley Lake Rd., Carlsbad, NM 87045
Our rating: ****1/2
+ Located 45 minutes from Carlsbad Canyons National Park and a little over an hour to Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
+ Each campsite comes with a small covered patio containing a picnic bench and BBQ grill.
+ The bathrooms were being renovated when we camped here. We actually really liked the private porta showers that were provided during the renovation.
+ Campground and park amenities include a playground, fishing, boating, water skiing and two trails.
Additional Comments: We did the Lake Loop Trail and were a little disappointed that the loop didn't actually look and we had to turn around and head back to where we started. It might be cleared by the time you go.
