The first weekend of the Hot Air Balloon fest there is a group that is having a camping event at a church in the Parking lot that I plan to be at.  I'll post back with the name of the group that is putting it on.

Looks great but looks to be closed for the season

It doesn't surprise me that its closed as dry as it is.  Most all of northern NM. parks are closed.

Villanueva State park is open!!! That is on the Pecos river.  Nice facility.
