 | This campground is up against Lake Roberts. A hiking trail leads out
which works its way around the lake. The trail starts out easy to
follow, but gets fainter the further you go. When you get to the dam,
you should be careful. We went down and crossed at the base. Once past
the dam, the trail continues and is easy to follow most of the rest of
the way around. When you get near where the stream which provides the
water to the lake is, head out to the road and take it back to the
campground.

To the right you can see campsite 11, which is a fair representation of
what most of the rest of the sites look like.

I'm planning a trip up next weekend to do some camping and fishing with my daughter. It has been at least 25 years since I have been to Lake Roberts and lost touch. Your site is extremely helpful. Thank you for the information it is greatly appreciated. I'm sure my daughter and I will have a blast! Posted: 3/19/2010 On Sun Aug 1 13:19:16 2010 Tony A. from Las Cruces, NM said:
I heard that this site is now just a picnic site. I've camped here every year for the last 5 years and we enoy how close the lake is. The trail to the lake is really nice too! Anyone know if the rumor is true? You cant camp here anymore?? On Mon Aug 2 18:39:53 2010 The Webmaster from Albuquerque, NM said:
I just checked, and the forest web site still calls this a campground.
