About

Oasis State Park is a serene 193-acre desert oasis set among cottonwood trees, shifting sand dunes, and a small fishing lake in Roosevelt County, New Mexico. Located 6.5 miles north of Portales, this park offers a peaceful retreat with 29 developed campsites ranging from water-only sites to full hookups with 50-amp service. The campground is shaded by cottonwood trees, providing a comfortable camping environment in the arid New Mexico landscape. Fishing is the park's main draw, with a man-made pond stocked for year-round angling. Several hiking and mountain biking trails wind through the park's unique landscape of sand dunes and riparian habitat. The park is particularly notable for its abundance of birds, making it a popular destination for birdwatching, especially at sunrise. Fall and winter months bring diverse waterfowl species to the pond. Facilities include clean restrooms with showers, a visitor center with exhibits, a playground, group picnic shelter, and a dump station. The park welcomes equestrian activities and offers both reservable and first-come, first-served campsites. With its combination of fishing, trails, and peaceful camping, Oasis State Park provides a true desert oasis experience for outdoor enthusiasts.
