The Dam Site Resort And Marina

The Dam Site Resort and Marina, situated at the heart of Elephant Butte Lake State Park, is a testament to the rich history and natural beauty of New Mexico. This historic site, managed by Marina Vista, boasts a diverse array of accommodations, including lakeside casitas built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, hotel-styled rooms in a century-old building, and cozy two-bedroom houses in a quiet canyon. The marina, with its modern dockhouses, offers covered and uncovered slips, a store, and kayak and stand-up paddleboard rentals, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the lake’s recreational activities.

The resort’s Welcome Center provides valuable insights into the dam’s construction and the area’s heritage, complemented by a small gift shop. The RV park, with its shady and secluded spots, ensures a comfortable stay for all travelers. As the site undergoes restoration, it promises an enhanced experience blending modern amenities with its historic charm, making it an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking a luxurious retreat amidst nature’s splendor. Local events and activities, including live music and art exhibitions, further enrich the visitor experience, fostering a sense of community and connection to the area’s vibrant culture.
