Wild desert flora, and the dramatic escarpments of the Sacramento Mountains in the Chihuahuan Desert make up the awe-inspiring backdrop of Oliver Lee Memorial State Park Campground.

Explore around the park, and you might just think you found a mirage. There are small sarkling pools of water under the cottonwoods! We call this the kind of camping you want in the desert.

Stayed at Oliver Lee on a photo scouting mission in February this year, and we loved staying here! The sun shelters at most tent sites were super helpful against the windy nights, and the facilities were kept clean and quite. Highly recommend. And we'll be back.
