👍 like all the other comments it will fill up and be busy

Fenton lake is not open, will open in a few days, do to restocking n maintenance.

This is very.popular lake so you need to get there early It's open for all special occasions

Yes

Haven't found 1 yet. General store at the turnoff might have information

Not sure now with the new snow. Call 575-829-3630 ask the rangers before you go. They are super helpful.

Yes, no restrictions.

Yes it is.

My advice to you is call and find out

Yes

Even if your not there to fish its worth the peace of mind

Verizon has been working and there is also Wi-Fi access that is free for a bit then can be paid for.

There are cabins 8 miles from the lake but space there at the lake

No!

NO, but you can walk in the stream😏

Not sure, only seen ppl use paddle boats

$5 per day

Yes by reservation only. Please book at https://newmexicostateparks.reserveamerica.com/

Open everyday 6 to 9

There are several camp sights around if you just follow the road going up and past you will find many.

No, lake and campground is closed due to being state property. However the stream flowing into lake and nearby camping areas is US Forest service and are not closed.

Nope. Try the streams but avoid the standard way up because it's packed with people. Try the Gilman way up to avoid congestion.

It's closed completely. You can fish by the streams though.

I've only really caught trout in Fenton lake brown trout and rainbow are the most common ones to catch best to have a boat because they like deep water but you can still catch some from the shore so no mostly trout

You can but only electric

Early like Wed

There are vault toilets throughout the camping area. It's good to look at the map when you reserve online to see how close you are to one of the vault toilets. The only running water is a pump in the day use area by the lake.

Yes

Home

You can tent camp in an RV spot, but you cannot RV camp in a tent spot. In the winter all the sites become first come first serve. I am not sure when they restart the online reservation process each year, usually around April/May when the weather warms up a bit and families start using their vacation days. FYI You may need to pay cash if the online reservations are not yet available.

Im just trying to fish there will i still need reservations

Some of it does

No 👎 not at all its only for 🐟. Walk around relax. No 🏊 at all.

$10 night its only $5 day use

Yes

Yes as of yesterday.

Yes

😞no

Yes when the the park is open

No swimming is allowed

No swimming. It is fished heavily with tons of old fishing tackle in there.

There is one by the loading dock but not at each camp site. Fenton lake is closed right now because of fire

No they don't

Yes, but they have to stay on a leash. There are people monitoring the lake to maintain compliance with that.

No. Swimming is not permitted. It is a fishing lake only. Must be thousands of hooks on the bottom of that lake not to mention broken glass, and other trash.

When we were there, Itv was $10. Per night

The gate's open at 7:00 am and close at 9:00 pm.

Yes! There are both electric and non electric spots,a play area with a structure for kids. It's beautiful

4 wheel drive, extra warm gear, tent heater, really good boots. Gets dark early so camp lighting

There is i.proved camping there, but as stated already, it fills up fast. If you take the state road right before fenton lake, about 3 miles before, it has a cattle guard, there is a plethora of primitive camping of all sizes. From RV to tent you can almost always find a spot.
