Island View Campground Reservation Sites

Near mile 8.6 of NM highway 95 is the turn off to the Island View and Salmon Run campgrounds. This driveway forks in three directions. To the left are Salmon Run campsites. Ahead is the campsite host, main Island View camping area, and the bathroom with hot showers. To the right are about 14 reservation sites, the Island View Reservation Sites. Most of the sites are on the right side of the driveway, with site 101 nearest the fork and highway and site 111 furthest out.

Most of the sites are only partially developed, with a pea-gravel covered parking area for perhaps two cars / a boat trailer and towing vehicle / or a medium-sized RV. Each site also has a picnic table and a fire ring/grill. Near the base of the driveway is a vault toilet. The full-service bath house and showers of the main Island View camping area are only a hundred to two hundred yards from the Island View Reservation Sites.

Site 111, at the end of the reservation sites portion of the campground,
is the most scenic of them, as can be seen here. It has excellent access
to the water, which is less than a hundred yards away.

Sites 105 (center) and 104 (right) share a common parking area;
each has room for two smaller cars or one moderate-sized RV.

View from the Island View Reservation area across from sites 103 - 105
toward the northwest across the main body of Heron Lake.

Site 106 has a long pull-through parking area and could probably
accomodate two or three vehicles with some ease.

Site 107 has a good overall parking area and location.

Site 109 is quite large, especially for tents, and has a great water view.

Site 110 is most of the way out on the point and not far from water.

Black Magic returns to Heron Lake. And, she leaves enough room for about
20 Buccaneers or other dinghies to park next to her. This parking area is about two miles
from Island View, and a 1/2 mile from the Blanco and Willow Creek campgrounds.
By road, the boat ramp, rigging and parking area, and mast-up storage are about
a mile from the marina, but by boat it's only about 900 feet from the end of the ramp
to the marina.
