Elephant Butte Lake State Park, Truth or Consequences, New Mexico
Why we chose here? After the balloon fiesta we wanted to head south, making our way to Texas. This was a short drive from Albuquerque and had good online reviews. We stayed in the southern campground, rather than the northern one (Monticello). Normally we would have picked Monticello as it is more remote and supposedly more scenic, but we were traveling with visiting family who stayed in a hotel nearby so chose the busier southern campground
