Lower Madera Canyon Campground

Best campground along the river. Nice shelters, big areas, lantern hangers, fire rings, toilets and unlike other campgrounds in the area, it's flat for tents and the thick vegetation provides nice privacy.

Majestic views overlooking the Rio Grande river...despite the primitive location, area was clean and well maintained by the State Park. Definitely would return to this location

Quiet spot for dry camping, with awesome views of the Rio Grande and Madera Canyon. There are four sites available, but Site 3 easily affords the best view. As of Jan 2020, cost is $12/night + an additional day pass fee of $5/person per day.

Great campsites! Clean toilets. Otherwise primitive. Bring plenty of water. Wonderful sunsets. Incredible sunrises.

This is a beautiful spot and well-maintained by the park service, so they deserve 5 stars. The problem is that the river access is utilized by kayaking and canoe tours which mean an almost constant flow of vans and trailers through the camping area. They are noisy and kick up a dust cloud every time they pass through which is very often. Great park, but would not recommend this spot.
